Digital Surf and Taylor Hobson Talyrond 500 PRO

DigitalTalyrond
December 1, 2021

Digital Surf and Taylor Hobson recently completed a new round of co-developments resulting in the release of an updated version of Metrology 4.0 software with the manufacturer’s brand new Talyrond® 500 PRO, a powerful instrument for roundness metrology.

Metrology 4.0 software made its debut in 2018 with the PGI Novus series of surface instruments, and now also allows both measurement and analysis on the Taylor Hobson roundness instrument series. Mountains® platform software features are seamlessly integrated into Metrology 4.0, which allows better control of the measurement process and the direct creation and export of analysis documents.

Users working with roundness now benefit from a fluidified and optimized workflow, with the ability to progress from measurement to reporting within the same interface, making the metrology process much simpler and more straightforward. This is particularly useful in a production context (shop floor use).

Specific features include high-quality 3D visualizations of cylinders and flatness scans, ease-of-use and desktop publishing allowing users to create personalized analysis documents showing raw measurements and analysis steps performed. Thanks to the multi-instrument compatibility of Metrology 4.0 software, various measurement types can be represented on the same document, for example, roundness, flatness, cylindricity, surface finish and contour.

The release of Metrology 4.0 on Taylor Hobson’s roundness range is the latest collaborative episode in the Digital Surf/Taylor Hobson partnership story. The first commercial accord was signed between the two parties in 1992 when Digital Surf was still a young start-up company. The two companies have continued to grow side-by-side ever since, with the joint goal of making metrology customers’ lives easier. Heavy investment in research and development, in-depth industry knowledge and a strong accent on customer support are some of the core values shared by both companies.
