Roughness and contour systems come
together
The new MarSurf XCR 20 from Mahr Federal combines two high precision measuring systems into one, enabling both roughness and contour measurements to be taken on the same unit and with the same setup.

Gauges check surface finishes in difficult spots
Mahr Federal has a new family of surface finish gauging fixtures specifically designed to measure difficult and often inaccessible automotive component surfaces right on the shop floor.
Portable air gauge incorporates digital indicator
Mahr Federal has introduced a new concept in air gauging - portability.
The MarSurf GD 25 roughness drive unit (XR 20) and PCV 200 contour drive unit (XC 20) are attached via a twin mount to the same measuring stand.
There is no need to change the drive unit or probe when changing the measurement task from Roughness to Contour.
This translates to saving time, work space, and financial resources.
The MarSurf XCR 20 also allows certain operating sequences such as measuring stand positioning and drive unit positioning to be easily semi-automated.
Simulation modes allow users to quickly familiarise themselves with both systems, and "teach-in" commands allow the creation of "quick and easy" measuring programs that can be saved and launched using programmable function keys.
The MarSurf XCR 20 incorporates all the high precision measurement features of the XR 20 and XC 20 roughness and contour systems, and is based on Mahr's modular Perthometer concept for measuring surface roughness contours both in the laboratory and on the shop floor.
Because of this modularity, either the XR 20 roughness or XC 20 contour system can be upgraded to an XCR 20 roughness and contour measuring station at any time.
A complete range of surface measuring accessories is also available.
