PRODUCTION-RELATED SURFACE ROUGHNESS MEASURING.

MOBILE WITH MARSURF

Wherever surface structures influence the function, processing or appearance of components or products, careful testing is
essential. But how can surfaces be tested? At the start of the 20th Century, experts still had to test by eye and touch. A practiced
eye can detect features in the m range, and even the much maligned thumbnail test delivered perfectly acceptable results.
Now however, we live in an age of exchangeable parts, fits and internationalization, where subjective tests like this are no longer
adequate. Today, computer-aided measuring instruments provide objective data. Measurement and evaluation have become
considerably easier. For decades, Mahr has been a worldwide pioneer in this area, as demonstrated by the company's numerous
innovations and patented solutions in the field of roughness metrology. The interplay between the stylus, drive and measuring
setup plays a key role in influencing the quality of surface measurement tasks. This is where Mahr's core expertise comes in, as
demonstrated by the company's numerous innovations and patented solutions. Over time, we have succeeded in perfecting
the stylus method which is now widespread throughout the world. The cable-free Bluetooth connection between evaluation unit
and drive unit is unique in roughness metrology. Even here, Mahr shows that its metrology is up to date with modern needs.

Developed with Mahr quality, expertise and know-how, MarSurf is the solution for all your surface metrology needs.

MarSurf. Handy and precise for on-site roughness measurements

MOBILE ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENT DEVICE MARSURF M 300

Mahr has played a key role in ensuring the success of mobile roughness measurement devices. As early as the 1980s, Mahr
was setting new standards with the M4P. The products have developed in line with changing production monitoring requirements.
Today's devices meet the highest international standards. Mobile roughness measurement devices from Mahr are lightweight
with a handy shape, flexible handling, high-precision measurement in different positions and easy positioning using
V-blocks.

MarSurf M 300 Novelties

Up to 4 m distance between evaluation unit and drive unit enable high flexibility for your to conduct your measurements.
Especially with large, cumberson parts, the application engineer can work directly at the measuring site.
The measurement can be started at the evaluation unit MarSurf M 300 or at the drive unit MarSurf RD 18.
The evaluation unit stand in a "safe place" and delivers exact results without influence from the ambient conditions.

Application examples

Upside down measurements

Perfect upside down measurements with the MarSurf RD 18.
Place parts, start measurement, finished.

Enables the measurement of small workpieces without additional

mounts.

No more alignment work necessary.

A solution for a fast and certain measurement.

Measurement with end face vee-block

Flexibility due to extensive accessories that are already included in

the standard scope of delivery.

always possible for the measuring technician to be directly near the
evaluation unit or, as shown in this example, the drive unit.

Bluetooth technology gives the advantage of cable-free connection.

An additional factor that simplifies surface measurement.

It is also possible to operate the MarSurf RD 18 under special con-
