Mahr GmbH, MarSurf M 300 and RD 18
6
Its compact form and low weight (approx. 1 kg
/ 2.21 lbs) make it ideal for mobile use. Thanks
to the transport case and the shoulder belt, it is
easy to carry around. The built-in rechargeable
battery offers enough capacity for several days’
work 3.
The instrument’s AC adapter comes with three
exchangeable mains adapters, allowing the
MarSurf M 300 and its RD 18 drive unit to be
connected directly to the mains all over the
world.
Possible instrument settings
All the functions supported by the instrument
are set out in a logically structured menu.
Instrument settings can be blocked and also
protected against unauthorized modification by
means of a code number.
The operator can switch between ISO (DIN),
ASME, JIS and MOTIF standards to select the
traversing length and for evaluation purposes.
When meas urements are performed in accor-
dance with ISO (DIN), ASME or JIS, the recorded
profile is filtered with a phase-correct profile fil-
ter (Gaussian filter) complying with DIN EN ISO
11562. A shorter cutoff can also be selected for
this purpose.
Even inexperienced users can perform correct, re-
producible surface texture meas urements: If this
function is active, the instrument detects periodic
and aperiodic profiles and automatically sets the
standard cutoff and associated traversing length
in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4288. 1
3 The capacity is sufficient for approx. 1,000 meas urements
(depending on the traversing length and the settings in
the "Record" menu).
1 Functions
Mechanical characteristics
The MarSurf M 300 is a compact surface texture
meas uring instrument for mobile use under shop
floor conditions. The maximum meas uring range
is 350 µm (0.014 in) (-200 µm to +150 µm)
(-0.008 in to +0.006 in).
With the corresponding MarSurf RD 18 drive unit
meas urements can be performed in any meas-
uring position without the need for setup times.
The maximum traversing length is 17.5 mm
(0.700 in). The instrument is easy to use and
complies with DIN EN ISO 3274.
The MarSurf M 300 and all Mahr pick-ups are
balanced at the factory. For high-precision meas-
urements using the stylus method and subse-
quent checks, an automatic dynamic calibration
function is available. A standard is integrated in
the MarSurf RD 18 for this purpose. 1
PHT pick-ups have an innovative open skid 1 that
virtually eliminates deposits of dirt and oil.
The bow-type vertical adjusters 2 for setting the
height of the MarSurf RD 18 drive unit allow
many different forms of support (stable three-
point support, four-point support, e. g. for cylin-
drical testpieces, combination with the pick-up
protection, etc.) and make vertical adjustment
very easy.
The rugged housing makes the MarSurf M 300
ideal for operation under severe conditions. The
instrument combines an ergonomic design with
clearly arranged operating elements and a large,
easy-to-read LCD.
