3D surface texture impacts friction, wear, and many other functions. This video looks at 3D surface roughness measurement of clutch plates. We look at how these surfaces can be tuned

Surface texture on medical devices affects many aspects of performance: how well an implant will bond to tissue, how blood will move over a device without clotting, how well a

3D surface texture measurement shows us a lot about a surface and how it will function. In this video series we show you how 3D measurement works and all we

3D surface texture measurement shows us a lot about a surface and how it will function. In this new video series we show you how 3D measurement works and all

If you work with precision surfaces, you’ve most likely encountered callouts for surface roughness/surface texture. At first glance, roughness may seem straightforward…you run a roughness gage over a surface, it

Surface texture plays a major role in sealing. But just making a surface “rougher” or “smoother” may not improve how well your surfaces seal. Interested in a deep dive into

Measuring surface roughness in 3D can offer a host of benefits. But for many companies, a measurement system may not be in the near-term budget. Here’s a way to reap

The average roughness parameter (Ra, or Sa for 3D measurements) is helpful for spotting changes in a surface or in surface-forming processes. A common question, however, is: how much of

Through Michigan Metrology’s 30 years in business, we’ve owned many generations of 3D surface texture measurement instruments. For the past 10 years we’ve been lucky to have what we consider

As we’re continuing to look back on our 30 years in surface texture measurement, we thought it would be interesting to look at how far measurement technology has come over
