It is widely used in metrological departments of industries of autos, tools, bearings, Patterns, and optics for measuring profile and roughness of precision parts. The drive box is equipped with a straight-line guide of high accuracy traveling up to 100 mm. The displacement of the transducer moving along the guide collected with a precision grating system. The transducer is operated with either keys on the control box or the buttons on the window interface. The JB-5C software runs on Windows XP.
It is used to measure the form and roughness of profiles of precision parts. In addition to roughness, by fitting least-square line of nominal form, a variety of form parameters can be measured, such as radius, angle, straightness, convexity, vertical and horizontal distance, and distances between points, circles, and slots.
