The efficient production of shafts requires precise quality control. Automated roughness measurement technology, which is tailored to the application requirements, quality standards, quantities, and cycle times, monitors the high-quality product output of these workpieces with maximum cost-effectiveness. The decisive challenge here lies in identifying the ideal measurement technology for the surface quality of the respective shafts. The criteria of the measuring task in particular determine the optimal metrological solution.
This is why roughness measurement technologies are constantly being developed to support the market, particularly in the trend towards automation. From a high degree of automation to fully autonomous measurement – new products in the market aim to enable advanced performance and to future-proof manufacturing companies. For example, some new systems already measure in accordance with the ISO 21920 series of standards. This measurement can optionally be ensured by DAkkS-calibrated roughness standards, whose calibration accuracy is now up to four times higher than before. Within the German Calibration Service (DKD), it is considered to be the highest in the world.
