Mitutoyo is a well-known manufacturer of precision measuring instruments, including surface roughness testers, and Bombay Tools Supplying Agency Pvt. Ltd. is the only Mitutoyo Authorized Dealer and Distributor in Chennai, Coimbatore, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.
The probes used with Mitutoyo surface roughness testers are designed to measure and analyze the surface texture of a workpiece. Different types of probes may be available depending on the specific model of the surface roughness tester, here are some common types of probes that may be used with Mitutoyo surface roughness testers
1. Types of Detectors:
• Standard Diamond detectors: Commonly used for general surface roughness measurements.
• Gear Tooth Surface detectors: Some applications may require specific stylus configurations for unique surface profiles.
2. Skidded and Skidless Probes:
• Skidded Probes: These probes use a skid to maintain contact with the surface being measured. They are suitable for measuring long wavelengths and are often used for more basic surface roughness measurements.
• Skidless Probes: These probes do not use skid and are designed for higher-precision measurements. They are effective in assessing short wavelengths and provide more accurate results for fine surface finishes.
3. Transverse Tracing Drive Unit:
• Some Mitutoyo surface roughness testers may have Transverse tracing drive units it is best suited for measurement of narrow, shrouded workpiece features such as crank shaft, EDM Parts etc.
4. Interchangeable Probes:
• Some models allow for interchangeable probes, allowing users to adapt the instrument to different measurement requirements.
5. Advanced Probes:
• Mitutoyo may offer advanced probes with features like high-speed scanning, extended reach, or specific capabilities for certain applications.
It’s important to note that the availability of these probes may vary depending on the specific Mitutoyo surface roughness tester models. Always refer to the user manual or contact Bombay Tools Supplying Agency Pvt. Ltd. directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information on available detectors and their applications.
