    (Aurora, IL) Responding to industry's need for surface roughness testing of heavy workpieces, Mitutoyo America Corporation announces the availability of Surftest® SV-800 CNC surface roughness measuring machines.

    The new Surftest SV-800 is engineered around a column-moving mechanism that virtually eliminates load capacity limitations. The machine's large measuring envelope (800mm X 500mm X 200mm) and long-stroke probe arm are designed to accommodate sizable, heavy workpieces such as crankshafts and camshafts as well as other powertrain, engine and similar components. The long reach of the probe arm also enables the SV-800 to measure multiple cross sections and waviness over a wide range.

    The Surftest SV-800 is constructed to attenuate vibration and minimize measurement deviations attributable to machine deflection while Mitutoyo SURFPAK® software provides advanced functions such as "straightness compensation" which improves the linear accuracy of the X-axis; "circular compensation" which enhances accuracy related to vertical movement of the stylus; and "stylus-tip diameter" wear compensation.
