Hidden Waviness: When Measuring Roughness Cannot Solve Quality Challenges

Roughness and waviness are dictated by each particular application.
Mike Zecchino Mark Malburg Donald K. Cohen Ph.D.
June 1, 2020
32 Comments

Specifications for surface texture frequently focus on surface “roughness”—the finer structures in the texture—often to the exclusion of the “waviness”—the larger structure of the texture. Unfortunately, problems related to sealing, vibration, noise, wear, etc., are regularly caused by issues hidden in the waviness domain, which cannot be captured by common roughness specifications.

Choosing Sensors for your CMM

The goal of part inspection is to get results you can trust.
David Wick

Sensors are an essential part of a metrology system, and there are several key factors that inform a buyer’s choice. These include ease of use, accuracy, speed and cost. Comparing the options can involve both analysis of features and actual demonstration of capabilities, but to get meaningful information for either you have to ask the right questions.

Putting Surface Inspection in the Hands of the Machine Tool Operator

Manufacturers need tools for operators that meet test requirements and are simple to use.
George Schuetz

One Comment

As part tolerances tighten, both form and surface finish have a bigger influence on the size and function of the product. And with pressures on manufacturing to be more productive, it is no longer viable for checks of surface or form to be performed on a measuring system in a quality room.

Measurement

Color vs. Appearance

With the number of color measurement instruments on the market, how do you choose the most appropriate one? It helps to understand the difference between measuring color and measuring appearance.
