The surface topography of cylinder bore surfaces is captured by the µsurf cylinder down to the nanometer range. Honing structures, exposure depths, standard roughness values and the surface roughness can be analyzed with the help of measurement data. This yields qualitative and quantitative information on the wear and defects on the cylinder wall.

The oil pockets rolled into sheet metal serve to absorb oil and improve its shaping properties. Practically relevant evaluation tools are available for the analysis of these functionally important 3D structural elements. Alongside DIN EN ISO roughness evaluations, the microvolume of the enclosed proportion of the surface can be calculated and evaluated. The stitching function is used to expand the measurement fields to several millimeters.

Camshafts have typical grinding structures. The roughness according to DIN EN ISO is determined on the basis of a profile section for quality assurance. Evidence of wear and the directional dependence of roughness can also be determined with a 3D measurement.
