VISUAL & MEASURING ADD-ONS

2D + 3D OPTICAL PROFILER
An endoscopic optical sensor can be installed
to measure the depth of the wear track.

The Chromatic Light technology used in our profilometer line is ideal

for tribology applications because it works on any type of material and is
the best optical technology for rough high angular surfaces. The profiler,
which has a wide measurement capability, can also be used for
roughness and many other surface topography studies.

DIGITAL IMAGING
A visual analysis tool in the form of a digital 1.3 MP camera with up to 330x
magnification can be installed on a flexible mounting arm or hand-held to
capture the surface features created during wear & friction testing. It is also
considered to be essential for imaging of scratch tests which allows a user
to determine critical failures along the scratch.

DEPTH SENSOR
A high precision depth sensor tracks the height change
on the surface during the test. This data can be used to calculate wear rates.
It also gives information on rate of wear change during tribology mechanisms.
