Mahr Inc.’s MarSurf
M 310 mobile surface measurement system, the successor to the MarSurf M
300, brings ease-of-use with a large, illuminated, rotatable 4.3"
high-resolution touch screen built right into the unit. It was designed to
provide high-precision measurements to test surface roughness on small and
large workpieces.
The
portable unit brings features previously only available in PC-based systems to
the mobile world. Features including automatic creation of measuring
reports in PDF format, integration of a barcode or data matrix scanner, and
printing reports to letter size paper are now all standard. An optional
portable printer is also available.
The
MarSurf M 310 also provides error-free operation through standard-compliant
settings.
Automatic cutoff selection ensures
the correct measurement results – even for inexperienced technicians.
Additionally, a highly efficient battery allows for more than 1,200 measurements
on a single charge. Integrated memory enables more than 500,000
measurement results to be stored, 1,500 PDF protocols, and an optional Micro SD
card slot allows additional memory to be added to increase that up to 320x – or
160 million results.
Weighing
in at just a pound, the unit's display adjusts to allow users to measure in all
positions – horizontally, vertically or upside down. In addition, the unit can
be mounted on a measuring stand to provide a stationary roughness measuring
instrument for small workshops. The range of measuring applications is
expanded by the ability to remove the drive unit from the MarSurf M 310 and
operate it separately from the display, providing the user with more
flexibility. The drive also incorporates built in Vees to support small
diameter parts during the measurement cycle.
MarSurf M 310 software features 31 parameters to choose from, offering performance range on
par with a laboratory instrument. Tolerance limits can be set for all selected
parameters, and exceedances are signaled in the display and in the protocol.
Measurements are made according to the standards and rules for stylus
instruments and can be quickly and easily saved in the device. Free MarWin Roughness
Viewer software for Windows is also available, which allows the measurements to
be brought over to a PC for archival or use in quality documentation reports.
