Surface Profile Measuring Machine – Accurate Profilometry for Consistent Quality

A Surface Profile Measuring Machine is a high-precision instrument engineered to evaluate the three-dimensional topography of a surface. Unlike standard roughness testers, this machine captures a broader range of surface features such as peaks, valleys, waviness, and surface curvature, offering detailed insights into surface characteristics at micron or sub-micron levels.

These machines are essential in industries where precise surface control is critical to performance, adhesion, or coating thickness. Equipped with advanced sensors and non-contact or contact stylus options, they deliver reliable and repeatable measurements compliant with global standards.
