PCE RT 2300 23 Parameter Profilometer Surface Roughness Tester - PCE-RT 2300

PCE RT 2300 23 Parameter Profilometer Surface Roughness Tester - PCE-RT 2300

The PCE RT 2300 23 Parameter Profilometer Surface Roughness Tester is used to measure the roughness of surfaces. It has a removable motorized sensor which makes it possible to determine the surface profile roughness even on small or narrow profiles. The measured values ??are displayed on a large LCD display of the profilometer. The device is powered by an internal battery or it can be powered by a conventional USB power adapter.

The detachable motorized sensor is connected by a cable to the main unit of the profilometer gauge. The diamond stylus is installed in the motorized sensor. This presses with a maximum force of 4 mN on the surface from which the roughness profile is to be measured. The profilometer measures according to the valid ISO, ANSI and JIS standards for profilometer measuring instruments.
