Typical applications for the surface roughness measuring sensors include:

Laser Printer Toner Roll Surface Control
Lexmark International uses the Lasercheck® 5872 Roughness Measurement System to measure laser printer rolls. Now they have a tight correlation between roll finish and actual roll performance in laser printers.

Corian® Countertop Surface Measurement - coming soon

Grinding Surface Control and Monitoring
Automated through-feed grinders produce large volumes of precision cylindrical parts for a variety of industries. The Lasercheck® 6212 gage is installed for in-line surface measurement.

Power Pump Pin Surface Finish Inspection
Cardone Industries of Philadelphia, PA uses the Lasercheck® 6212B portable surface roughness gage to measure the roughness of critical pump pins.

Shock Absorber Rods / Wrist Pin Surface Finish Measurement
Automated surface finish measurement of vehicle shock absorber rods using the Lasercheck® 6212A system.

Engine Valve Stem Roughness Measuring
Lasercheck® 6212A replaces tactile stylus systems and measures in a fraction of the time.

Engine Valve Stem Surface Measurements
A manufacturer of high-performance components for automotive racing and motorcycle engines replaces stylus profilometers with Lasercheck® 8826 sensor systems for 100% inspection.

Crankshaft and Camshaft Surface Inspections
Automotive components require precise microfinishes to minimize wear in high-performance engines. The 8826 sensor ensures high quality finishes.
