Mitutoyo Surface Roughness Measuring Instrument from Japan：

In the field of precision manufacturing's form and position tolerances and surface quality inspection, the Japanese Sanfeng FORMTRACER Avant D3000/4000 series surface shape measuring instrument features a dual function fusion design of "contour+roughness"
Micro scale measurement accuracy and efficient operating experience have become the core equipment for quality control in industries such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and semiconductors. This series breaks the limitations of traditional measuring instruments with a single function,
Through modular design and intelligent technological innovation, it is possible to accurately capture the contour curve of the workpiece and analyze the surface roughness in detail, providing an integrated solution for the shape detection of complex workpieces.

Core technology: Dual function integration and high-precision measurement system

The most core technological highlight of this series is the tool free dual detector exchange system, which solves the tedious problem of traditional equipment requiring sub units to measure contours and roughness.
Without the need to turn off the controller power, the tool free loading and unloading mechanism of the gripper can be rotated with the thumb to switch between the contour detector and roughness detector within 30 seconds,
And the device can automatically identify the type of detector, and the guide pin positioning design also ensures the reproducibility of measurement after switching. The Z1 axis detector is equipped with a high-precision digital arc-shaped scale,
By eliminating the error prone arc-shaped linear motion conversion mechanism in traditional equipment and directly reading the arc-shaped trajectory of the measuring needle, high-precision measurement can be achieved even when the measuring arm is not in a horizontal state.

In terms of precision performance, the series of products have reached the standard.
The indication error is controlled at (0.8+0.01L) μ m (L is the driving length), the X-axis resolution reaches 0.05 μ m, and the Z1 axis provides three ranges of 8 μ m, 80 μ m, and 800 μ m for roughness measurement,
The corresponding resolution can reach 0.0001 μ m. To adapt to special working conditions, the equipment is equipped with an X-axis ± 45 ° tilt mechanism. When paired with the optional C-4500 contour detector, it can also achieve 5-level measurement force adjustment through software,
It can adapt to the measurement needs of complex workpieces such as inclined surfaces and deep grooves without the need to replace weights. In addition, measuring the running distance has been reduced to 0.05mm, allowing for accurate data collection even in difficult to measure areas such as end faces and narrow areas.

Performance Upgrade: Efficient Operation and Full Scene Adaptation Design

This series has been optimized in terms of measurement efficiency and operational convenience. The driving system exhibits strong high-speed mobility,
When the measuring needle comes into contact with the workpiece, it will automatically switch to low-speed mode and quickly enter the measurement preparation state after contact, improving process efficiency while ensuring measurement safety.

The structural design of the equipment fully considers the adaptability to complex working conditions. The D4000 model, as a high-performance model, is equipped with a digital detector with a measurement range of up to 60mm, supporting continuous measurement of the upper and lower surfaces,
Paired with a double-sided conical measuring needle, it is easy to analyze difficult parameters such as the effective diameter of screws. The entire series embeds all cables to avoid measurement errors caused by wiring friction, ensuring stability during high-speed movement,
It also extends the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the Z1 axis is equipped with an anti-collision safety device, and the probe drop detection function can immediately stop and control the falling speed in case of accidental needle drop. The collision monitoring function between the magnetic arm and the detector cover further safeguards the safety of the core measuring components.

Intelligent operation: humanized design and data-driven management

The series of products are optimized with ease of operation as the core direction, equipped with a new type of operation box with newly added workpiece program keys. Operators can quickly create and call manual measurement programs, greatly reducing the threshold for custom measurement processes. Paired with FORMTRACEPAK professional data processing software, it can not only automatically calculate key parameters such as contour angle, arc radius, roughness Ra, but also support real-time analysis and report generation of measurement data, adapting to various international testing standards.

In terms of functional expansion and data management, this series also performs well. The D3000 series offers two X-axis measurement ranges of 100mm and 200mm, giving rise to various models such as S, H, W, L, etc., to meet the measurement needs of workpieces of different volumes. The D4000 model focuses on large-scale measurement scenarios, with functions such as automatic force adjustment and continuous measurement, making it particularly suitable for full-size inspection of large precision components. In addition, the equipment can be linked with the production management system, and measurement data can be seamlessly transmitted to the SPC statistical platform, providing accurate data support for production process optimization.

The FORMTRACER Avant D3000/4000 series, with its flexibility, micrometer level accuracy, and efficient operation process, has become a key equipment for controlling surface quality in the precision manufacturing field, providing stable and reliable technical support for high-quality production in various industries, from detecting small grooves in semiconductor chips, measuring the profile of automotive engine camshafts, to detecting surface roughness in aerospace components.
