SURFTEST SJ-310 SERIES
A portable roughness tester with colour LCD and
powerful measurement capability
PRE 1383
Form Measurement

The Surftest SJ-310 is a Compact, Portable, Easy-to-use
Surface Roughness Measurement Instrument Equipped
with Extensive Measurement and Analysis Features.
Complies with many industry standards
The Surftest SJ-310 complies with the following standards: DIN EN ISO,
VDA, JIS, ANSI as well as customized settings.
Displays assessed profiles and graphical data
In addition to calculation results, the Surftest SJ-310 can display sectional
calculation results and assessed profiles, load curves, and amplitude
distribution curves.
Highly functional
Extensive analysis and display features
Large colour graphic LCD
The color touch-screen provides excellent readability and an intuitive
display that is easy to negotiate. The LCD also includes a backlight for
improved visibility in dark environments. The integrated printer allows you
to print measurement results on the spot.
Easy to use
Despite its reduced charging time the Surftest SJ-310 is capable of
making approximately 2.5 times the number of measurements when fully
charged. The detector supports a variety of measurement orientations
and can make measurements up against a wall surface or while facing
upward. When combined with optional accessories such as a height
gauge adapter, the detector can make measurements in various
orientations and settings.
Enhanced power for making measurements on site
Internal memory
Up to 10 measurement conditions and one measured profile can be
stored in the internal memory.
Optional memory card
The optional memory card can be used as an extended memory to store
large quantities of measured profiles and conditions and adds the con-
venience of automatically saving data from the 10 most recent measure-
ments.
Password protection
Access to each feature can be password-protected, which prevents
unintended operations and allows protection of your settings.
Multilingual support
The display interface supports 16 languages, which can be freely
switched. Stylus alarm (patent pending in Japan, U.S.A., EU): An alarm
warns you when the cumulative measurement distance exceeds a preset
limit.

The large 14,5 cm (5.7-inch) colour graphic touch-screen LCD provides excellent readability. Furthermore, selecting icons from the touch panel
display*1 provides intuitive and easy operation. The integrated high-speed printer also allows the user to perform the entire process from making
measurements to printing the results with the push of a single button (START button).
You can save parameter recalculations and measurement results in text format on a memory card and import into commercial spreadsheet software
on a PC. You can also connect to a PC using the USB connector and use a dedicated software application to perform everything from measurement
control and condition modification to issuing inspection result reports.
Detector supplied as standard
One of two types may be selected:
•
Measuring force : 0.75 mN
Stylus form: Tip radius 2 µm
Tip angle 60°
•
Measuring force : 4 mN
Stylus form: Tip radius 5 µm
Tip angle 90°

Drive units
Standard drive unit
•Popular standard drive unit
Transverse tracing drive unit
•Best suited for measurement
of narrow, shrouded workpiece
features such as crankshaft
bearings, EDM parts, etc.
(Patent registered in Japan)
Retractable drive unit
•The detector is in the retracted
position at rest so it is immune
from damage when inserted into
a feature whose shape cannot be
easily seen, such as a blind hole, etc.
A wide range of optional detectors is available,
including detectors for small holes, extra small holes,
gear tooth surfaces, and deep grooves.
BAC and ADC curves can be printed in addition
to calculation results (including pass/fail results) and
assessed profiles. The printer offers an easy-to-
understand layout and can also print horizontally to match
the content displayed on the LCD. Furthermore, printing
speed is approximately 50% faster than conventional
models.
Built-in battery
With drastically enhanced power compared to
conventional models, the Surftest SJ-310 can make
1500 continuous measurements on a full charge
achieved in 4 hours.
Frequently used functions, such as the measurement start button, are provided
as rugged sheet buttons with excellent durability.

explanations of touch-screen buttons.
You can not only magnify
or shrink waveforms,
but also calculate the
coordinate difference
between two points using
a ruler operation.
You can quickly check the
irregularity status without
waiting for a printout.
With the Surftest SJ-310,
you can delete portions
of measurement data.This
feature allows you to make
new calculations by deleting
data that should not be
included in parameter
calculation, such as data on
a scratch.
Setting assessment conditions is simple because you can select the desired condition from a displayed list (e.g., standard, parameter).
Icon Text
By specifying a tolerance in advance, you can display pass/fail results in color.

Using the result of a single measurement, you can make calculations or
analyze assessment profiles under two different assessment conditions
(standard, profile, filter, etc.) without using the recalculation feature.
The stylus alarm function cumulates the measured lengths, and displays
the message when designated threshold value exceeds the cumulative
distance.
You can make a maximum of 300 statistical measurements using up to
three parameters to obtain averages, standard deviations, maximums,
minimums, passing rates, and histograms (upper and lower limits can be
displayed). This feature is ideal for day-to-day data management.
1-parameter display:
one parameter measurement result
Profile display: one parameter measurement
result and the measured profile
4-parameter display: four parameter
measurement results Trace display: the ten latest measurement results
using the same parameter
After completing measurement, you can modify the assessment conditions (standard, profile, and parameter) and easily recalculate the results using the
new condition.* *Not possible with all measurement conditions.
Recalculation function
Positive stylus contact indication
Dual assessment of a single measurement Stylus alarm function
Extensive statistical processing features
Measurement results can be displayed in several ways
No contact Contact
Stylus contact with the workpiece is indicated by color coding in the
display. This is helpful when visibility of the surface to be measured is
restricted (e.g. when measuring within a shrouded feature or groove).
Measurement results can be presented in the form of a 1-parameter, profile, 4-parameter or trace display.

Optional Accessories: For External Equipment
By connecting this printer to the Surftest SJ-310's digimatic output, you
can print calculation results, perform a variety of statistical analyses,
draw a histogram or D chart, and also perform complicated operations
for X-R control charts.
A footswitch is used to trigger measurement. This tool is very useful in
cases where you need to measure the same workpiece multiple times
using jigs and other fixtures.
This unit allows you to load Surftest SJ-310 calculation results (SPC
output) into commercial spreadsheet software on a PC via a USB
connector. You can essentially use a one-touch operation to enter the
calculation results (values) into the cells in the spreadsheet software.
