The Mitutoyo 178-583-12E detector is a high-precision accessory designed for use with Mitutoyo portable surface roughness testers such as the SJ-210, SJ-310 and SJ-412. Offering both skidded and skidless measurement capability, it enables accurate roughness and waviness assessment across a range of surfaces with minimal measurement disturbance. With a stylus tip angle of 90° and 5 µm radius, and a measuring force of 4 mN, this detector supports standardised evaluation according to ISO, ANSI, JIS and VDA methods.

Standout Features and Benefits of the Mitutoyo Roughness Tester

  • Enables both skidded and skidless measurement modes for versatility.
  • Designed for compatibility with Mitutoyo SJ-210, SJ-310 and SJ-412 series testers.
  • 50 mm X-axis traverse capability (drive unit standard type) and Z-axis measurement range of up to 800 µm.
  • Low stylus measuring force (4 mN) reduces influence on delicate surfaces.
  • Stylus tip: diamond, 90° angle / 5 µm radius, optimal for general‐purpose surface roughness measurement.
  • Supports a full suite of roughness profiles (primary, roughness, waviness, motif) with recognised standards (JIS, ISO, ANSI, VDA).

Engineered for Accurate Surface Profile Measurement

This detector drive unit is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Mitutoyo’s portable testers, enabling robust measurement in both laboratory and manufacturing environments. The switchable skidded/skidless mode allows measurement of typical surfaces (skidded) as well as complex, stepped or curved surfaces (skidless) without sacrificing accuracy. According to Mitutoyo documentation, skidless measurement is essential for capturing waviness and fine stepped features where the skid would otherwise interfere.

Applications Across Various Fields

  • Use with Mitutoyo SJ-210 / SJ-310 / SJ-412 portable surface roughness testers for general or demanding inspection scenarios.
  • Ideal for skidded (standard) and skidless (high-accuracy) surface roughness measurement on machined parts, castings or coatings.
  • Suitable for roughness, waviness and motif evaluation in quality-control settings across automotive, aerospace, tooling and precision manufacturing.
  • Works where surface features include steps, curvatures or narrow grooves and require minimal measurement disturbance.
