Solve Roughness Measurement and Shape Measurement at Once! Surface Roughness and Contour Shape Measuring Machine ‘SURFCOM NEX 200’

03/10/2024

Accretech (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The “SURFCOM NEX 200”, a surface roughness and contour shape measuring machine developed by Tokyo Seimitsu, is a hybrid and multi-measuring instrument capable of measuring both surface roughness and contour shape simultaneously. This article highlights the features of this product, which promotes automation and labor-saving, significantly boosting work productivity.

Measurement Completed in a Single Trace! A New Hybrid Detector for Automation and Labor-Saving

In conventional measuring instruments, it was common to use separate devices for surface roughness and contour shape measurements. Even with devices capable of measuring both, probe replacement or angle adjustments were often necessary.

However, with the SURFCOM NEX 200, these measurements (surface roughness, R/dimension measurements, etc.) can be completed in single trace with one probe. This significantly reduces the time spent on probe changes and workpiece alignment (adjusting part orientation). At manufacturing sites, it minimizes the effort required to switch between detectors and enables quick inspections. Additionally, with CNC programming, the operator simply sets the part, presses the start button, and the system automatically handles everything from measurement to analysis.

▲ Efficiently evaluates surface roughness and contour shape in a single trace, compatible with all types of workpieces

Equipped with a newly developed wide-range hybrid detector, the automatic programming function simplifies the conventional four-step measurement process into a single step. Measurement results for each process can be easily viewed on the LCD screen, reducing manual errors and ensuring accurate measurements that do not rely on the operator's level of expertise.

Achieving Industry-Leading High Precision Measurement with Patented Linear Motor Drive Technology and Unique Measurement Techniques

The SURFCOM utilizes a high-speed linear motor drive to achieve high-precision measurements while minimizing vibration noise through an ultra-low vibration drive mechanism. Additionally, the new range hybrid detector expands the Z-axis measurement range to 13 mm, which is 2.6 times greater than that of conventional models, accommodating measurements up to 52 mm. It also effectively handles temperature variations, with accuracy guaranteed within a wide range of 20°C ± 5°C, ensuring stable measurements even in environments where temperature management is challenging.

▲ Significant improvement in drive speed reduces the time needed for manually approaching workpieces, creating CNC plans, and drive time during CNC measurements.

▲ Efficiently measure all workpieces over a range that is 2.6 times greater than conventional models, accommodating up to 52 mm

▲ A wide accuracy-guaranteed temperature range of 20°C ± 5°C is maintained through real-time scale temperature compensation

■ Maintenance-free design

It features a linear motor drive on the X-axis and a newly developed oil-free sliding material for the Z-axis column, along with a special coating, reducing the need for routine maintenance and ensuring stable performance over an extended period.

▲ The simple structure eliminates the gearbox section that transmits power from the ball screw and motor, removing the need for regular lubrication or greasing of the drive unit

▲ Newly developed column with high durability and daily maintenance-free

■ Intuitive Operability with Multi-Language Support

It supports over 10 languages, including Thai, with one-click language switching. Suitable for global manufacturing environments, it features an intuitive operation guide displayed on the LCD screen, making it easy for anyone to use immediately.

Thus, the SURFCOM NEX from Accretech (Thailand) is an innovative hybrid measuring instrument that combines surface roughness and contour shape measurements in a single unit. With over 10,000 units sold worldwide, it has also seen many successful implementations in Thailand. We have in-stock units available at our Bangna and Amata City Chonburi showrooms, where consultations for test measurements are offered.
