Further complicating component inspection, many industries surface roughness tolerances parameters are narrowing. Although a wide range of static surface roughness instruments are now readily available, when a company\u2019s requirement is for a precise, easy and quick to use portable surface roughness instrument, the options are relatively limited.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/accretech.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/accretech.png 400w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/accretech-90x104.png 90w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/accretech-302x350.png 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption>HANDYSURF+ &#8211; Portable, versatile surface texture measuring instrument<br>Photo by ACCRETECH<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After searching for a suitably accurate and efficient portable means of inspecting the surfaces characteristics of ground components, the technical staff of Kingsbury\u2019s Grinding Division discovered the advanced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accretech.eu\/en\/surface-measuring-systems\/roughness-measuring-systems\/handysurf-354045\/\">HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;instrument. In addition to delivering the high-levels of precision required, the robust ACCRETECH product had the ability to be easily transported to customers\u2019 premises and to withstand shop-floor use.<br>Kingsbury launched the company\u2019s Grinding Division in 2017, representing Haas Schleifmaschinen GmbH in the UK, Ireland and the GCC region with the aim of providing its customers with first-class grinding machines and comprehensive CNC grinding services. Also, in late 2021, Kingsbury were awarded representation for Studer AG within the GCC region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"688\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_oNVG0sGPgw\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A key element in Kingsbury\u2019s Grinding Division\u2019s success has been its ability to provide its customers with excellent levels of end-to-end support. In addition to employing highly-skilled personnel, to help ensure the best outcomes for its customers Kingsbury\u2019s Grinding Division provides its staff with first-class equipment. For example, the recently purchased ACCRETECH HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;is now being used to gather accurate surface roughness data in pre-qualification trials before the sales of grinding machines, and also to aid the development of new processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a company, Kingsbury have more than 60 years of experience in supplying highly efficient and cost-effective machine tools and delivering first-class levels of support. Since its launch they have applied Kingsbury\u2019s time honoured levels of customer care to their Grinding Division.<br>Kingsbury Grinding Division Application Engineer, Kevin Ling explained:&nbsp;<em>\u201cWhen demonstrating the effectiveness of our machine tools and showing the complexity of the components we can develop, establishing surface finish is a priority. Not only for customer compliance, but also to determine dressing parameters and the optimum grinding wheel specification for performance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br>The purchase of our advanced ACCRETECH instrument provides us with the ability to quickly measure surface roughness with excellent levels of precision. In addition to other uses, our HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;is employed to prove the exceptional standards of surface finish that our grinding machines are able to achieve and to provide our customer with confidence. Also, our ACCRETECH equipment is used to guarantee that our machines continue to deliver the expected financial return to our customers as we assist in the development of new processes and product lines. We work closely onsite with engineering teams across many industries, as the HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;instrument is portable, it allows for quick and easy application in a live production environment .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACCRETECH offers a comprehensive range of high-quality instruments for the use of measuring surfaces characteristics. The company\u2019s products meet a wide variety of requirements regarding resolution, precision, component size and application. Although the HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>, as purchased by Kingsbury\u2019s Grinding Division, is regarded as ACCRETECH\u2019s entry level surfaces measuring product, the robust, portable instrument boasts a wide range of features that are normally found only in more expensive, static instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Building on the global success of the company\u2019s previous HANDYSURF instrument, ACCRETECH\u2019s HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;features an ergonomic design, a simple operating system and intuitive software. Also, whereas the original HANDYSURF model required users to set a narrow range when measuring with a high resolution, the new, use-friendly HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;dispense with this requirement. The advanced new instrument has a generous Z direction measuring range of 370 \u00b5m, which is the widest in its class, and achieves a resolution as high as 0.0007 \u00b5m over its entire range.<br>Given the less than perfect environments the robust HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;is able to be used in, the instrument\u2019s 2.4 inch colour LCD has significantly improved the visibility of its readings. In addition, the provision of clear, graphic representations of measurement results enables on-site verification with the use of various parameters and waveforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple 6 buttons operation and newly developed UI enables intuitive operation and trouble-free access to multiple analysis functions, whilst waveform types can be easily changed by using a screen located icon. An enlargement function and an automatic Go\/No-Go judgment function, established by setting upper and lower limits, are easily accessible. Despite its relatively compact size and portable nature, the HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;is capable of a wide variety of analyses modes, including BAC, ADC, peak-count and motif analysis. A choice of three optional drive unit\u2019s allows potential customers to choose a HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>&nbsp;model according to their individual needs. Standards equipment includes a strong carrying case, calibration Plate, user\u2019s Guide \/ Quick Reference, amplifier, tracing driver, pickup, cables, calibration table, CD-ROM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If required, by using the supplied USB cable or optional USB memory, inspection certificates can be created from measurement results. Alternatively, results stored on the HANDYSURF<sup>+<\/sup>\u2019s internal memory can be downloaded to a PC as a text file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The surfaces characteristics of technical products have a crucial impact on their performance, lifespan, and visual appearance.
