(Mahr Federal: Providence, RI) -- At IMTS 2012, Mahr Federal, a manufacturer and marketer of dimensional metrology equipment, unveiled a revolutionary way to measure surfaces. Mahr Federal introduced a new Android app that allows users to measure common surface roughness parameters using their smartphones and other Android operating system devices. The MarSurf One app interfaces via Bluetooth with a Mahr RD 18 drive unit and probe to measure the most popular roughness parameters, including Ra, Rz, Rmax, Rt, and Rq. Using multi-finger gestures, the resulting profiles can be zoomed for instant analysis, saved, converted to PDF files, synched, or emailed for display and analysis on other devices such as PCs.

“Using the MarSurf One app with your smartphone is a very inexpensive and extremely portable way to obtain surface roughness measuring capability,” says Pat Nugent, vice president of metrology systems for Mahr Federal. “The MarSurf One app requires an RD 18 drive unit and probe, of course, which come standard with MarSurf M 300 systems. However, by purchasing the RD 18 as a separate unit and using it with the MarSurf One app, the result is a total system that is less expensive than buying an M 300 system.”
