X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, announced a new collaboration with Rhopoint Instruments, a leading manufacturer of test equipment for appearance quality, to advance digital appearance innovation and support the growing use of digital twins in product development and marketing.

Evident announced the launch of its LEXT™ OLS5500 hybrid 3D optical profilometer, an award-winning platform that sets a new standard in precision surface measurements.

A customer's first impression of a product depends largely on its appearance. Issues in formulation or processing can create defects that diminish perceived quality. Key factors like gloss, haze, and distinctness of image (DOI) impact overall appearance, while hidden variables also play a role. Understanding these elements is vital for ensuring consistent quality and customer satisfaction.

Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology, whose manufacturing facility is in Derbyshire, UK, has announced the introduction of the SURFACER SRP.

As parts become smaller, more complex, and increasingly performance-critical, traditional measurement tools are reaching their limits. The solution? A shift from tactile to optical metrology — and with it, from reactive troubleshooting to predictive quality assurance.

Quality assessments of parts often rely on a "yes" or "no" on a printed report, a "good" part versus "bad." However, advancements like 3D scanning allow engineers to visualize and analyze surface textures, revealing crucial insights beyond basic roughness values, which is vital for meeting increasing performance demands.

Mitutoyo America Corporation announced the release of our innovative SM1008S, the first non-contact line-laser sensor in the Mitutoyo Surface Measure product line.

This article discusses the connection between surface finish and factors like friction, wear, and fatigue life. It explores how precise surface finish measurements improve product reliability and analyzes the evolving measurement technologies.

Surface finish is crucial for workpiece functionality. Calibration of the probing system is necessary for accurate pass or fail of workpieces.

The unique ways surface measurement is utilized throughout various industries. Here are just a few reasons why surface finish is critical.
