Mahr will be introducing the MarSurf XR 1 surface measuring system a system aimed at bridging the gap between portable devices and larger, full-featured, PC-based surface measurement and evaluation systems.

The device combines the skidded and skidless drive units of Mahrs portable M-Series instruments, with its MarWin evaluation software. The new XR 1 is affordable and provides an entry into the world of, PC-based measurement and evaluation systems, including compliance with all International Standards, diverse evaluation methods, extensive documentation, large storage capacity, data export and import, as well as networking and other benefits.

The MarSurf XR 1 is suitable for the measurement lab or the shop floor, and provides over 80 parameters for R, P, W profiles according to current DIN, ISO, JIS, ASME and MOTIF Standards. The system can utilize both the MarSurf RD 18 drive unit with skidded probe and the MarSurf SD 26 drive unit with skidless probe, and virtually any number of drive units can be connected to the evaluation unit via Bluetooth or cable. Measuring units can be used alone in different orientations, in combination with various accessories, or mounted on measuring stands. Measurements can be initiated either by touch screen on a PC or manually on the drive units.

The MarSurf XR 1 will be introduced at IMTS, Sept 10-15, 2012, at McCormick Place, Chicago. Mahr Federal will occupy booth #E-5242. The company manufactures and markets a wide variety of dimensional metrology equipment, from simple and easy-to-use handheld gages to technically advanced measurement systems for form, contour, surface finish and length.
