Taylor Hobson, a global leader in ultra-precision measurement instrumentation, has introduced a breakthrough metrology instrument that is able to perform three core measurements: roundness, form and surface finish on a single platform. The all-new Talyrond 500 Series combines Taylor Hobson’s decades of experience in high-accuracy surface measurement instrumentation with its expertise in ultra-precision machining.

The Talyrond 500 offers a highly cost-effective solution for extremely accurate roundness, contour and surface measurements that previously required three separate instruments, resulting in savings in both time and equipment outlays. In addition, the Talyrond 500 Series boasts of an impressive measurement resolution of 0.3 nm.

The highly versatile Talyrond 500 Series of metrology instruments uses rotary, vertical and horizontal measuring datums to duplicate a machine tool’s movement to exactly reproduce the work piece shape. This ultrahigh precision simulation of a cutting tool path then allows for precise control of a manufacturing process.

The Talyrond 500 is ideally suited for a wide range of high-accuracy measuring applications, including precision bearings, fuel injectors, crankshafts and turbocharger parts.

In addition, the new Series offers a comprehensive range of standard accessories along with a long list of highly specialised accessories that are able to accommodate the most demanding applications.
