This second - hand unit is in reliable working condition, presenting an excellent choice for those in pursuit of a cost - effective yet dependable measuring solution.

1. Exceptional Measurement Capabilities

It excels in measuring surface roughness parameters with remarkable precision. Whether for assessing the smoothness of mechanical components like shafts and bearings or the surface finish of optical parts, the S5K delivers highly accurate results. It can handle a diverse range of surfaces, including both flat and curved ones.

The instrument is proficient in performing transverse, longitudinal, and even oblique measurements, making it suitable for complex geometric shapes. For instance, it can be used to measure the inner and outer surface roughness of engine components such as cylinder bores, piston holes, as well as the mating surfaces of engine blocks and cylinder heads. It can also be applied to measure the surface roughness of parts in various industries like automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and precision engineering, ensuring high - quality production and meeting strict industry standards.

2. User - friendly Operational Design

Equipped with an LCD display, the S5K enables easy menu setting and clear visualization of measurement results. Operators can effortlessly navigate through the menu to set essential measurement parameters, such as cut - off length, filter type, and the number of measurements.

The measurement process is designed to be straightforward. With simple button operations, users can preset and control the entire inspection procedure, significantly reducing the learning time and enhancing measurement efficiency. This user - friendly design makes it accessible to both experienced technicians and new operators in quality control or research facilities.

3. Adequate Storage and Efficient Data Management

This profilometer has the capacity to store up to 100 measurement results, which is extremely convenient for data comparison and in - depth analysis. Users can recall previous measurements to monitor the quality consistency of production batches or to track changes in surface conditions over time. This stored data is invaluable for generating quality control reports, driving process improvement initiatives, and complying with industry - specific standards and regulations.

4. Versatile Mounting and Wide - ranging Applications

The S5K can be used independently, allowing measurements on surfaces in any orientation, whether horizontal, vertical, or even upside - down. This flexibility makes it ideal for on - site inspections in workshops where parts may not be easily re - positioned.

It can also be securely fixed to a workbench using fixtures, making it perfect for batch measurements in a laboratory or inspection room environment. This versatility enables its application in a wide variety of industries. In addition to automotive and aerospace, it can be used in the manufacturing of medical devices, where precise surface measurements are crucial for ensuring the safety and functionality of the products.

5. Durable and Trustworthy Construction
