3D Surface Roughness and Wear Measurement, Analysis and Inspection

Surface Measurement Series Video – Brake Rotors

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 can learn from it. This second video in the series looks at measuring brake rotors. These are fairly large machined parts which are difficult to measure under a standard microscope. The NPFlex optical profiler from Bruker, however, has some unique features that make measuring surface roughness on a large, fairly rough, part like this.
