(Focalspec: Cumming, GA) -- FocalSpec, a supplier of optical, high-precision 3D scanning sensors and solutions, has launched MicroProfiler MP900, its noncontact wire, cable, and filament surface-roughness measurement system, in North America.

The MP900 is based on FocalSpec’s patented line confocal imaging (LCI) technology that enables accurate in-production roughness measurement from a fast-moving surface of any type and color. The system scans and analyzes a product’s actual surface profile at the rate of 512,000 points per second.

The maximum line speeds is 150 m/min (500 ft/min) and products with a diameter of 1 mm (0.04 in.) to flat can be measured. The minimum reported Ra is 0.2 µm (8 µin), and other standard roughness parameters, such as Rz, can also be calculated. Roughness of the product is displayed in real time, and operators are automatically alerted for abnormal process changes. This enables immediate corrective actions. All roughness results from the entire length of each produced reel are stored in the system’s database for quality certification and production-reporting.
