New surface inspection range for UK

Since its foundation in 1949 Accretech has consistently focused on developing products that contribute to improving its customer's productivity and on providing good customer support with customer satisfaction as its basic philosophy. The Japanese metrology equipment manufacturer has grown to be a global corporate group with group affiliates operating in 15 countries around the world.

Through Bowers Group, UK customers will have access to the entire range of Accretech products, including the Surfcom 2000SD3; a high performance surface texture and contour integrated measuring instrument.

With its large measuring area and hybrid detector, the Surfcom 2000 enables the capture of contours and surface roughness in a single measurement. This saves the user from changing the probe and is therefore highly efficient. Evaluation of roughness, especially on small chamfers and fillets, can be performed simply, quickly and accurately.

The Surfcom 2000SD3 includes: a roughness and contour detector with 5mm displacement and 10mm with double probe length; a low vibration feed unit with linear drive; straightness accuracy of 0.05+L/1,000µm; Z accuracy ±2.5+2H/100µm for contour measurements and a high resolution of the touch probe of 0.8nm. There's also no need to change the probe.
Also available in the range is the Rondcom Touch offering high accuracy roundness measurement in the workshop. Due to its compact form, it can easily be used on virtually any workbench. Operation is simple and intuitive using the touchscreen interface.

The Rondcom Touch features' include: simple touchscreen operation; a high accuracy, precision air bearing turntable; wireless operation (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) meaning measurement, analysis and printing without cables; a compact, patented design and ACCTee measuring software with help functions for centring and levelling. The system can measure workpieces up to 15kg.

Interested parties are invited to view the new Accretech products, as well as existing Bowers Group products, and get a full demonstration of the instruments from engineers at Bowers' new demonstration suite at the group's headquarters in Camberley.
