Mahr now offers an automated solution for measuring surface roughness on workpieces directly in the CNC production machine. For this purpose, the MarSurf MC 510 measuring device is completely integrated into the tool holder, where it measures using a vibration-resistant, tactile free-probe system – in accordance with standards and with high precision up to Rz 1µm. If a roughness measurement is to be carried out, the machine tool automatically switches the measuring device from the tool magazine into the spindle like a regular processing tool. Various tool holders are available as an interface, including the SK 40 and HSK-A 63 types.
