Alicona webinar on surface measurement

A webinar explaining the use of a modern optical measurement process in surface finish measurement in production and R&D departments to improve both quality and consistency of measurement results on all surfaces is to be held by Alicona.

Traditionally surface finish measurement on engineered components is achieved by contact profilometry based on a moving stylus. This has proven to be satisfactory for the conditions and requirements of the surfaces that were in common use when the method was developed and has continued to supply industry with a general measurement tool. But, as materials and the understanding of surface structures has improved, this method, although offering basic surface measurement capabilities, is lacking in a number of areas, says Alicona. It will be held on Tuesday, Dec 10, 2013 between 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM GMT. Register at link below.
