Portable Surface Roughness Tester
The auto-set unit* enables measurements to be made with a single button push, saving you time and increasing work efficiency.
|
The auto-set function safely controls descent of the detector, eliminating the possibility of operator error causing damage to the stylus. |
Auto-set unit* 178-010 This unit automatically completes a full measurement cycle of stylus contact, measurement, stylus retraction and detector auto-return from just one button push (stylus retraction and detector auto-return can be switched on and off by operating the drive unit).

* This is an optional accessory for the SJ-410 Series. It can only be used on the simple column stand (optional accessory, order No. 178-039). When the units are used in combination, straightness for SJ-411/412 drive unit will be degraded about 0.2 µm. Cannot be used when the tester’s main unit is an older model (SJ-401/402)
| Assessing a single measurement result under two different evaluation conditions |
| A single measurement enables simultaneous analysis under two different evaluation conditions. A single measurement allows calculation of parameters and analysis of filtered profiles without the need for recalculation after saving data, contributing to higher work efficiency. | ![]() |

| DAT Function for the leveling table <Option> |
The levelling table can be used to align the surface to be tested with the detector reference plane. The operator is guided through the procedure by
screen prompts.

Surface roughness measurement requires a run-up distance before starting the measurement (or retrieving data). When the SJ-410 Series measures, its run-up distance is normally set to 0.5 mm. However, this distance can be shortened to 0.15 mm using the narrow-part measurement function. This function extends the measurement of narrow locations to features such as piston-ring grooves and O-ring grooves. Typical applications
|
|
| Easily measures R-surface roughness (skidless measurement) |
Usually, a spherical or cylindrical surface (R-surface) cannot be evaluated, but, by removing the radius with a filter, R-surface data is processed as if taken from a flat surface
Other curved surfaces can be processed besides cylindrical, such as parabolical and ellipsoidal.

| Simple contour analysis function |
Point group data collected for surface roughness evaluation is used to perform simplified contour analysis (step, step height, area and coordinate difference). It assesses minute forms that cannot be assessed by a regular contour measuring machine.

Example of mounting on simple column stand. (178-039)*1
*1 For details see page 5

*2 This is the lowest position of the standard stylus mounted on the simple column stand. Since it is 35 mm from the base top, a block of suitable height is required for calibration with a roughness specimen. Use the stand in combination with optional accessories such as a leveling table (178-016) or an XY leveling table (178-024).
