Measuring Roughness

PC-DMIS offers optional software that measures roughness.

To enable this functionality, your LMS license or portlock must be configured with the appropriate option.

You can measure roughness on a Global S Chrome CMM with an LSPX 5 HD probe head, FDC 800 controller, and PROFILER R sensor.

The following diagram shows how a CMM with a PROFILER R sensor with a CMM measures roughness:
