Surface Roughness Guage
Surface Roughness Guage
(OP)
Does anyone know the best portable equipment to use for measuring surface roughness of sculptured surfaces? I need to measure the roughness of NURBS surfaces in mold cavities. The size of the cavity is about 2.5" x 2.5".
Thanks
Thanks

Even though it technically is an instrument, this forum is geared more towards COntrol manufacturing processes.
I believe if oyu google "surface roughness" you should find a tool for your use.
Good Luck

Basically your using a ball of sorts to run the gauge over the surface and this measures the "nurbs".
Good Luck
