Ra/Rz Surface Roughness Control
Troika’s Surface Roughness software is an add-on for Anilox QC and Gravure QC , delivering high-resolution 3D scans of roll and cylinder surfaces. It captures key metrics like Ra, Rz, peak density, and profile shape to provide a clear, objective view of surface texture and wear.
With advanced filters and profile analysis, it pinpoints changes that impact coating adhesion, volume transfer, or engraving consistency. It gives teams the data they need to verify condition, take early action, and maintain tighter control over surface quality.
Surface Checks for Better Coating
Ready to coat. Ready to run.
Surface texture plays a critical role in coating and lamination performance. By measuring roughness, uniformity, and peak density in advance, operators can verify that surfaces are within the optimal range for adhesion.
This prevents common issues like voids, delamination, or uneven laydown. The software gives a clear visual and numerical understanding of surface condition, helping teams fine-tune processes and avoid costly rework.
Predictive Maintenance and Wear Monitoring
Stay ahead. Avoid downtime.
Rolls and cylinders degrade gradually, but the impact on production can be sudden. Surface Roughness software detects changes in texture and uniformity over time, revealing signs of wear before they become failures.
By tracking parameters like Ra, Rz, and RPc across the life of a cylinder, maintenance teams can plan interventions with confidence. It reduces downtime, protects production schedules, and extends the usable life of critical assets.
