DETROIT, MI -
GKS Inspection Services, a global
provider of dimensional measurement and laser scanning services, has
improved the capabilities of its Surface Analyzer equipment in its
Detroit-metro lab. “Surface finish evaluation is the study of tiny
surface irregularities on anything ranging from medical and automotive
parts to consumer and aerospace components,” said Steve DeRemer, General
Manager of the GKS Michigan regional office. “Our customers are able to
have the expert technicians at GKS do the surface testing for them
without having to purchase the equipment to evaluate the parts
themselves. This saves expense and time in training and performing the
analysis.”

GKS continuously upgrades its Surface
Analyzer hardware and software. The latest Mitutoyo Surfpak Series
surface roughness analyzing programs measure three dimensional surfaces,
and have high operability to easily exchange and manage data. Because
GKS uses the most current international parameters and standards (ISO,
DIN, etc.) to measure and report surface roughness, customers are able
to maintain their own quality systems to industry standards. “Our
world-class tools and technicians give clients the competitive edge,
along with ‘one-stop shopping’ in contract measurement services,”
remarked DeRemer.
Most customers who use GKS Surface Analysis
services want to make sure that the roughness of a specific surface is
within their parameters. Expert operators perform complicated
measurement speedily with the enhanced control functions found in the
Surfpak software. In addition the Surfpak software has sophisticated
report generation functions that can be used to tailor reports to
customer requirements. The assessed profiles, calculation results,
measuring conditions, and comments can be easily laid out and printed as
reports. Users can cut and paste not only the measurement results, but
also image files to create unique reports with photos and company logos.
GKS offers no-cost quotes for surface finish
evaluation via telephone or on the website (http://www.gks.com).
Surface Analysis services can be performed at the GKS facility in
Plymouth, MI or onsite at the customer location. Surface finish
evaluation is covered as an accredited service under GKS’ A2LA
accreditation (American Association of Laboratory Accreditation).
