The new LiteSurf system from Flexbar features integrated Bluetooth and USB connection to Android smartphones, tablets and PCs, enabling a quick and easy way to transmit surface roughness measurements. Due to the included Roughness Studio Basic App, information can easily be stored and shared.

With this handheld instrument, it is possible to measure surface roughness details in multiple positions horizontally, vertically, below and above. Through use of the 90° laterally rotatable preloaded probe, each area of the piece is measurable. A range of interchangeable accessory probes are also available for special measurement applications.

The body of the LiteSurf is machined from a solid block of a light alloy and combines an ABS plastic shell that guarantees high rigidity with high impact resistance. The device’s integrated refill management system guarantees an autonomy of 10 hours of work time and at least 300 measurements within a 50-minute period.

Connectivity features include integrated Bluetooth and USB connection. LiteSurf also features the ability to measure zones horizontally, vertically, up, down or sideways. It connects to laptops or tablets via the Roughness Studio Baese app, and its battery can reportedly be fully charged in 50 minutes while guaranteeing 10 hours of work.
