Surface Roughness/Finish

This category includes systems used to inspect the surface integrity of a workpiece after it has been processed by any surface modification process, including forming, metal cutting, welding, surface treatment, or other surface alteration. In the fabrication process, a surface’s roughness is a measurement of the height of irregularities and asperities on a finished surface after machining. ‘Finish’ is not a measurable quality, but depend on the viewer’s perception and the requirements of the task. Devices used to measure the roughness of a workpiece’s surface are called profilometers; manual comparison can also be made against a sample of a known surface roughness.

Balancing Technologies Contribute Significantly to Reliable Machining Operations

By ensuring perfect balance, balancing technologies reduce the risk of damage and improve the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Why Tool Balancing can Benefit Every Machining Operation 

Balancing tool assemblies set the stage for smooth machining that produces parts with consistent surface finish. Balancing also accelerates production because speeds and feeds can increase without compromising the part.

Advanced Machining Strategies Require an Optimized End Mill
