Surface Roughness Measurement Lab Services
3D Laser Scanning Microscopy
Surface roughness measurement and topographical rendering by generating high resolution providing data on surface texture, including depth, height, and volume of surface features.
- Surface Inspection of Microchips: To ensures that that microchips and semiconductor wafers have smooth and defect-free surfaces. Surface roughness of tiny components such as transistors, capacitors, and connectors, where surface texture can be detrimental to electrical performance.
- Tool and Die Manufacturing: To evaluate the surface finish of molds, dies, and cutting tools to extend their lifespan and ensure consistent production quality.
Optical Profilometry
Optical profilometry is a non-contact method that uses light, typically lasers, to scan and analyze the surface and by reflecting light off the surface and measuring its intensity, a detailed profile of the surface roughness is created
- Medical Device Manufacturing : To test medical implant devices to ensure that surgical tools have a smooth finish, surface roughness of medical implants, dental implants and joint replacements, to promote proper integration with human tissue and reduce the risk of complications.
- Automotive Industry : To check the surfaces coating adhesion testing of engine parts, such as pistons and cylinders, are smooth and within specification to reduce wear and improve engine efficiency.
Roughness Measurement Data
- Roughness Average (Ra)
- Root Mean Square (RMS) Roughness
- Peak-to-Valley Height (Rz)
- Phase contrast measurements
- Step height measurements
- Maximum Roughness Depth (Rt)
- Mean Line Spacing of Profile Irregularities (Sm)
- Profile Skewness (Rsk)
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
AFM uses a nanoscale probe to scan the surface roughness measurement at the atomic level. The probe interacts with surface forces, creating a topographical map with extreme precision.
- Material Science and Research : Used in research and development to study the surface properties of new materials, including nanomaterials, medical implant devices and composites, where surface texture plays a critical role in material performance.
- Surface Coating Evaluation: Study of surface texture and adhesion of protective coatings applied to aerospace components, ensuring they meet safety and durability standards.
