Portable Units

Portable roughness measurements for incoming goods inspection, production and final inspection.

The simple solution to measure, evaluate and document surface roughness – from incoming goods to production all the way to final inspection.

Practical and easy to use – HANDYSURF combines the measurement, analysis and logging of surface roughness. From incoming goods to production all the way to final inspection: quality assurance becomes mobile with HANDYSURF – the measuring instrument goes to the workpiece – not vice versa. HANDYSURF is flexible and robust and can measure on horizontally as well as on vertical and overhead surfaces – depending on the tracing driver. If necessary, the tracing driver can be removed from the display unit and used separately.
HANDYSURF meets all common surface standards and users can switch between seven languages. HANDYSURF can be connected to a separate analysis computer via the external interfaces. Another unique feature is the optional connection to every ZEISS measuring system using ZEISS CALYPSO measuring software. This enables all measurement results, including surface parameters, to be combined in the 3D measuring machine record. Measuring is also simplified via the HANDYSURF automatic function because the measuring range, total path and display magnification are configured automatically based on the surface quality.

  • Easy-to-use, mobile and flexible for measuring, analysis and logging
  • Compact design
  • Work quickly using the automatic function for the measuring range, total path, cut-off and magnification
  • Can be connected to any ZEISS 3D measuring machine via a ZEISS CALYPSO interface
  • Surface analyses in accordance with all common standards: ISO, DIN, CNOMO, ASME and JIS
  • Interface connects to separate analysis computer
  • Measure in various positions: horizontally, vertically and overhead
  • Optional horizontal tracing driver to measure in the axial direction in tight spaces
  • Resolution: up to 10 nanometers
  • Extensive accessories (printer, columns, extensions, cables, printer paper)

HANDYSURF stands for mobile and uncomplicated roughness measurement in production, incoming goods and final inspection. HANDYSURF is ideal for measuring surface parameters on parts in the automotive, mechanical engineering and medical technology industries.

Combined Units

Three in one: contour, surface and form measurement with one setup.

The RONDCOM Grande measuring center is a pioneering innovation, allowing the measurement of form, contour and surface parameters with one setup.
The heart of the measuring system is the precision rotary table on air bearings with rotational accuracy of 80 nanometers. The first column of the RONDCOM Grande is equipped with a combined contour and surface tracing driver featuring resolution of up to 1.24 nanometers and a laser interferometer. The second column is responsible for form measurement and offers outstanding straightness accuracy in the Z axis. RONDCOM Grande makes the measurement of exact and large parts more efficient as its is performed with one setup and one software, therefore reducing transport and setup times.

  • RONDCOM Grande is everything in one: a form tester, contour measuring machine and surface measuring station.
  • Substantial reduction in setup times through fully automatic measurement of all parameters with one stup and on a single machine
  • Highly accurate laser interferometer in the contour and surface tracer driver
  • High straightness accuracy in the Z axis
  • Precision rotary table on air bearings with 80 nanometer rotational error
  • Also available with only one column as a pure form measuring station for large, high-precision, heavy parts

The possible fields of application for RONDCOM Grande include bearing rings, mechanical engineering parts, power generation systems, aerospace and wind energy industries. The measuring center evaluates roundness, cylinder form, perpendicularity, parallelism, straightness, flatness, coaxiality, concentricity, thickness error and radial runout, all standard surface parameters, angles and contours.
