The IMSTec roughness measurement station is part of an overall concept for coating automation of orthopaedic implants. It represents a high end solution for a 100% automated and contactless part surface roughness determination. An integrated high precision laser scanning sensor mounted onto a linear motor axis for test section movements provides repeatable roughness measurements. For quality control the roughness measurement system is monitored on a regular basis performed with a single certified reference sample. The automated part handling process maximizes the mean time to assist.
