(Taylor Hobson: Leicester, England) -- Taylor Hobson, a global leader in ultraprecision measurement instrumentation, has introduced a metrology instrument that is able to perform three core measurements: roundness, form, and surface finish on a single platform. The all-new Talyrond 500 Series combines Taylor Hobson’s decades of experience in high-accuracy surface measurement instrumentation with its expertise in precision machining.

The Talyrond 500 offers a cost-effective solution for extremely accurate roundness, contour, and surface measurements that previously required three separate instruments, resulting in savings in both time and equipment outlays. In addition, the Talyrond 500 Series boasts an impressive measurement resolution of 0.3 nm.

The versatile Talyrond 500 Series uses rotary, vertical, and horizontal measuring datums to duplicate a machine tool’s movement to exactly reproduce the workpiece shape. This accurate simulation of a cutting tool path then allows for precise control of a manufacturing process.
