SURFCOM NEX 200 DX2/SD2

Equipped with newly-developed, wide-range hybrid detectors covering more than twice the range of conventional machines,this machine efficiently evaluates the surface texture and contour of inclined surfaces, undulating shapes, and curved surfaces in one trace. In addition, special-purpose detectors for surface texture and contour measurement can be freely switched and added at a later stage depending on the workpiece. As long as you have one SURFCOM NEX, you won’t need another surface texture or contour measuring equipment.

Significantly improved drive speed reduces the time for approaching workpieces in manual mode, creating CNC programs and drive during CNC measurement. This improves efficiency throughout the inspection process, from preparation to measurement. In addition, by using a wide-range hybrid detector, there is no need to measure surface texture and contour shape separately, and necessary precise alignment before measuring the surface texture of inclined or curved surfaces can be skipped. This means inspections can be performed with minimal effort in the shortest period of time.

SURFCOM NEX inherits the linear motor drive unit, a patented technology of ACCRETECH, from a conventional SURFCOM NEX. An ultra-low vibration drive mechanism reduces noise caused by vibration and provides high-accuracy measurement results. Moreover, by offsetting the impact of temperature change on the scale in real time, accuracy can be assured over a wide  temperature range of 20±5 degrees Celsius. Reliable measurement results are obtainable even in environments where temperature control is difficult.

Z-axis measurement range is 13 mm, 2.6 times wider than conventional detectors.In addition to its wide measuring range, it has a high resolution of 0.0009 μm across the all measurement range in the Z-axis direction (with LH=50 mm stylus). Moreover, LH=100 mm styli* expand the measurement range up to 26 mm and LH=150 mm styli** expand the measurement range up to 39 mm 
*Styli for both roughness and contour measurement are optional
**Optional

By switching to a optional styli*, you can further expand the Z-axis measurement range. Wide-range contour measurement is possible just by switching the styli, without the need to replace the detector. In the case of the LH=150 mm stylus, the measurement range can be expanded to 39 mm. As for the LH=200 mm stylus, the measurement range can be expanded up to 52 mm, which is comparable to the measurement range of general contour measuring instruments.
