MarSurf VD 280 Roughness and Contour Measuring Station

MarSurf VD Series - The MarSurf family is complemented:
The easy change between roughness and contour tracing system
Depending on the measuring task, either the BFW roughness probe system for surface roughness or the C 11 contour probe system for contour measurements can be changed by the operator (hot-plug capable). The new system offers the advantages of combining the highly dynamic C 11 contour probe system with the high-precision BFW probe system, which is particularly suitable for fine surfaces.
The new measuring station concept combines speed, reliability and flexibility.
The aim is to increase the profitability of the system for your company.
The measuring stations are operated with the user-friendly MarWin software (MarWin Easy Roughness & Contour or MarWin Professional Roughness & Contour).

Innovative technologies:
Fast axes
- Positioning speeds up to 200 mm/s in X
- Contour measurements are 25 x faster than with its predecessor MarSurf PCV or MarSurf CD 120
- Surface measurements are 40 x faster than with the MarSurf GD 120
- By default, the Z-axis is fully CNC-capable
- The Z-axis is approx. twice as fast as previous Mahr Z-axes
- Up to 5 times faster than standard Z-axes on the market
Contour probe system C 11
- Probe arm recognition via integrated chip
- Standard measuring range up to 70 mm; Max. 100 mm with 490 mm probe arm length
- Magnetic probe arm holder, probe arm change without tools
- The touch probe combines robustness with dynamics
- Optional: Possibility to extend the roughness value determination to contours
Roughness probe system BFW
- Easy probe arm change and probe arm protection by means of magnetic probe arm holder
- Probe arm mount allows the change from standard to transverse measurement without tools or adapter
- Extensions for the probe system possible
Innovative workpiece clamping system
- Mounting plate 390 x 430 mm with hole dimension 50 mm
- Integrated 60 mm TY adjustment
- The combination of mounting plate and integrated TY adjustment makes an additional XY table superfluous
- Low workpiece setup supports a favorable short measurement loop, which has a positive effect on the measurement results
