Surface Texture Measurement - Brake Rotor (Michigan Metrology)

3D surface texture measurement shows us a lot about how a surface will function. This video looks at 3D measurement of the surface roughness of brake rotors. These are fairly large machined parts which are difficult to measure under a standard microscope. The NPFlex optical profiler from Bruker, however, has some unique features that make it possible to measure surface roughness on large parts like this.
