Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of step meter technology, and in particular to a shock-absorbing probe-type step meter. Background Technology
[0002] A profilometer is a contact surface topography measuring instrument. Depending on the sensor used, contact profilometer measurements can be divided into three types: inductive, piezoelectric, and photoelectric. When the stylus gently slides along the surface being measured, the stylus moves up and down along the peaks and valleys due to the tiny peaks and valleys on the surface. The movement of the stylus reflects the surface profile. With the continuous development of technology, people's requirements for profilometers are also getting higher and higher.
[0003] Existing step gauges have certain drawbacks. First, the probe accuracy of existing step gauges cannot meet the requirements, they are not easy to assemble quickly and easily, and their measurement efficiency is poor, which is not conducive to their use. In addition, existing step gauges cannot easily and quickly align objects, which has a certain adverse effect on the actual use process. To address these issues, we propose a vibration-damping probe-type step gauge. Utility Model Content
