Carmar-Technology have appointed Metrology International as UK and Ireland exclusive agents for sale of their product line.

Catalogues, technical information, advice and quotations are now  available from our company on all Carmar's range of measuring instruments. The range  includes:  optical comparators, video measuring systems, optical 3D surface profilers,  video tool makers microscopes, presetters, machine tool scales and many accessories.  

All products are of excellent quality and highly competitive in price when purchased directly from our company following  infomation supplied via our website and subsequent e-mail correspondence. 

When it comes to measuring surfaces for roughness or contour profile the Kosaka Surfcorder SE-1200 instruments has no equal.  Consisting of a combined amplifier printer with a 25mm drive unit and universal pick-up this small compact instrument can carry out many measurements which larger competitive models are needed, such as curved surfaces, short lands, profiles  and very small bores.  Easily programmed via its keypad, selections of traverse distance, cut offs, curved, flat surface, vertical and horizontal magnifications and universal Ra and waveform parameters are quickly set, results witrh  profile graphs being rapidly printed out.  The SE-1200 is shown below with it pick-up  mouinted in a right angle format.

Mark 10's 48 page catalogue (issue15 )is now available showing their extensive range of force, torque testing gauges and ancillary equipment such as test stands, grips and accessories. 

Copies of this publication are available from our sales office.  Technical specification sheets are also in  PDF format upon request.

Many years ago we produced a small booklet for workshop personel which explained in basic terms surface finish roughness measurement.  If you would like a pdf copy please send us an e-mail.

Mark-10 products may be supplied with test certificates traceable to ANSI or NPL  or in-house certification if requested. Shown below is a procedure of  calibration of a Mark-10 BG50 force gauge using certified UK. test weights.

The new CT-range of closure torque testers are excellent value for rapid and accurate testing of tightness of jar caps and lids.   The CT unit is intregal with table and sensor combined in a modern styled solid aluminiun case.  The holding jaws have a  range of up to 7.5ins dia and are capable of holding all shapes of lid due to design of the fixture.  3 models are available, 12/50/100lbs cacpacity. Metric units may be program selected as required along with peak hold.  

 We have available the following up-dated leaflets and  catalogues

Roncorder catalogue of roundness and cylindricity  instruments.  Includes basic bench systems to fully automated  bench and very large floor standing models to measure large components. 

A long standing problem in the auto industry was solved by purchasing Comtorgage spline gauges.   Gauge R&R standards are  very high for this product andconventional hand gauges continually failed to meet them.  We are please to report our CG spline gauges, after extensive tests,  had a gauge R&R better than 8% meeting the customers specifications in full.

Our customer required to measure, in the workshop enviroment, cam face straightness and surface finish. .  A Kosaka SE-1200 instrument solved his problem because of its high accuracy  inbuilt datum used for skidless measurement.The SE1200 unit was also operated with the pick-up at right angles to the driver allowing the surface stylus arm to enter between the cams shoulders. Straightness measurement over the full cam face was achieved by pre-programming the instrument,  graph records and data being  printed out. 

All Kosaka Surfcorder measure straightness and waveform, large drivers measure up to 200mm traverse with datum accuracies of fractions of microns.

Here's a fact not so well known in metrology of particular interest to quality and support engineers involved in volume production using gauging fixtures.

We offer a worldwide service to repair regular types of  electronic transducers and probes.When the probes on your gauging fixtures fail, d'ont just replace, save money by allowing us to repair and re-furbish them.  We fit replacement bearings, tips, lead connections etc and test them out before returning to our customers.  

An estimate is always given  prior to work being commenced but fully refurbushed probes cost approx. half as much as buying new. 

Photographs  show Kosaka PUC surface finish pick-up with interchangeable styli, a electronic probes and Metrol CNC sensor head.

Kosaka Roncorder Instruments includes  the  EC-3600 series designed to measure long shafts. The unit has 1400mm vertical traverse and a table loading capacity of 250kg. Component diameters up to 650mm can be accomodated on the rotary air bearing table. 

High  accuracies of table rotation and straightness in the vertical column ensure highly efficient measurements of pin, jornal and large crankshafts for roundness, straightness and cylindricity.
