Contour and Surface Roughness Measuring System



Mitutoyo America Corporation offers the FORMTRACER Avant Series Contour and Surface Roughness measuring system.

"The FORMTRACER Avant is a revolutionary hybrid measuring system that measures advanced contour and surface roughness features with high precision, speed, flexibility and efficiency in one machine," said a company spokesperson.

Key features:

  • The Avant features a "Hot Swap" ability to quickly change between surface and contour detector heads without the need of tools or powering off the control unit.
  • New stylus protection function controls the downward movement of the stylus, reducing risk of damaging the stylus tip.
  • All FORMTRACER Avant models can be upgraded and retrofitted with optional detectors for better measuring application versatility.
  • Operation keys are integrated with the remote joystick box, making part programming and workpiece set-up easier.
  • The high-speed drive unit and column axis reduces set-up time, improving efficiency and increasing throughput.
  • Hot swapping heads along with an inclining X-axis drive, double-sided conical stylus for continuous measurements of upper/lower surfaces and a variety of optional accessories to measure nearly any type of workpiece add greater versatility.
