SURTRONIC 3+S I M P L E , A C C U R A T E A N D V E R S A T I L ETotal portability for workshopor laboratoryFast, simple operationAccurate and versatileSelectable range ofparameters, cut-off lengthsand filtering(see specifcation for fulldetails)Software analysis optionsData processing optionsMulti-language selectionBattery powered andcompletely self-containedSurtronic 3+ combines advanced technologywith high precision and value to giveeffective measurement of surface finish inthe workshop, inspection room or laboratory.With Surtronic 3+, users across a wide rangeof skills can become proficient withinminutes. Operating functions are minimal,measurement cycles are short and output isavailable from a built-in LCD display orvarious printer options.The measurement process and operation issimplicity itself, the entire cycle beingcontrolled from a wipe-clean membranetouch key panel, via ‘walk through’ menuselections.The instrument is usable on horizontal,vertical or inclined surfaces, or with selectedaccessories as a bench mounted system forlaboratory or batch measurementapplications. The pick-up holder is mountedon a slide for vertical adjustment and can berotated to different measuring positions,including right-angled measurement.Surtronic 3+ is powered by NiCAD batteriesor through an optional mains adaptor.The portable format of the Surtronic 3+renders it particularly useful for measuringsurface texture on bores and inaccessibleparts which are unsuitable for conventionalmeasuring instruments.

ENHANCED MEASUREMENT AND ANALY S IS OPTIO N SData Processing ModuleFor Enhanced Measurement with Surtronic 3+Comprehensive Analysis FunctionsWide Range of ParametersAllows Customised System ConfigurationAlphanumeric and Graphical OutputIntegral PrinterThe Data Processing Module converts Surtronic 3+ into acomprehensive measurement and analysis unit with a widerange of capabilities.T he Data Pro c e s s i ng Mo dule is de s ig ned specifically fo roperation in production environments. It is battery or mainsoperated, totally portable and connects directly to theSurtronic 3+ via the RS232 port.The Data Processing Module has an integral thermal printerfor hard copy output of measured profiles and results lists.Results can be saved onto a Memory Card for further analysison either the Data Processing Module or Talyprofile software.Analysis options are displayed in theform of ic o ns on screen. Me nu optio ns,system opera t ion and print are selectedu s i ng the me m b ra ne key pads. In add i t io nto a wide ra nge of int e r na t io na lroughness parameters, bearing ratio,t he Rk family and amplitude distributio ncurves can be printed when includedby the use of Macro Maker Software.• Simple, easy programming routine• Increases Flexibility of Data ProcessingModule• Allows Single Button OperationOptional Macro-Maker software for programming theData Processing Module allows single button sequentialmeasurement, significantly saving inspection time andreducing the skill required for component inspection onthe shop floor.A number of “Macros” can be configured to control individualmeasurement and analysis cycles, using a PC loaded with theMacro-Maker software.Macro Maker SoftwareA number of ma c ros can then be stored on a me mory card (via a Fre eStanding PC MCIA Memory Card Drive) and simply uploaded into the DataProcessing Module. This allows the Surtronic 3+ to be used as a totallyflexible measuring station tailored to suit operator, shift or customerrequirements.A complete analysis cantherefore be carried out withthe touch of a single key,with no settings required,and is of particular benefitfor on-the-spot qualitychecks on machine tools.

TALYPROFILE SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWSData Processing Module, andSurtronic 3+ CompatibilityExtended Analyses fromGraphical DisplaysReport ConfigurationFunctionsProfile ManipulationFacilities2CR ISO, 2CR Phase correctedand Gaussian Filter SelectionTalyprofile for WindowsTalyprofile for windows is a dedicatedsoftware package designed to be simple touse - whether in a workshop or laboratoryenvironment.The software has many advanced featureswhich make it the ideal package for themeasurement of profiles.User friendly interfaceThe software is visually advanced andprovides clear on screen profile images.It works using three concepts; the bank ofprofiles, the operators and the studies.The bank of profilesThe bank allows users to store any profile inthe computer’s memory, regardless of whetherit has been measured, loaded from disc orgenerated from an operator. The bank alsoallows the user to return to the profile at anylater time and make further analyses.The operatorsThese start from a measured profile and thenallow the user to modify it. For example, thezoom function will take a piece of the profileand study it separately. The form removal willflatten out a profile measured on a curvedpiece.The studiesThese analyse and visualise the profile. Eachstudy can easily be tailored using thebuttons panel on the menu bar.With these 3 concepts understood, thesoftware is straightforward and intuitiveto use.Desk top publishing facilityTalyprofile for Windows offers an additionaldesk top publishing function which allowclear presentation of measurements.Results of any analysis are automatically setinto pages and every set of numerical results,curves and profiles is saved inside a framewhich can be easily moved around the screenusing the mouse.The final document created can have textadded to incorporate comments, arrows andrings to link and emphasise details. It is alsopossible to add other images or spreadsheetsusing the copy and paste function.A nalysis Ac c e s s o r ie sFree Standing Memory Card Drive, Code B112/2580Required to load Macro Maker programmes into the Data Processing Module and to further analyseresults using Talyprofile software.Memory Card (256Kb), Code B112/2581Memory Card for use in the Data Processing Module.
