Pocket Roughness

Portable unit for surface roughness control

Immediate measurement and analysis: everything on an 8" high-resolution touchscreen

Pocket Roughness is a portable acquisition and analysis unit designed for immediate surface roughness control in industrial and laboratory environments, with fast export of results for archiving, traceability, or advanced data processing.

  • Real-time parameters and profile visualization.
  • Immediate tolerance evaluation: pass / fail result.
  • Measurement codes and database to standardize quality control.

When workshop and lab must speak the same language, Pocket Roughness helps keep method and consistency: standard settings, clear acceptance criteria, and results that are easy to share. Perfect for incoming, in-process and final checks, where the repeatability of the workflow matters as much as the measurement.

Pocket Roughness can be used together with OmniDrive or integrated into MCM retrofit solutions, simplifying measurement operations and making the operator’s work faster and more straightforward.
