PosiTector RTR 3D

Measures 2D/3D Surface Profile Parameters

Model No. :

Brand : Defelsko

The PosiTector RTR 3D is an advanced electronic instrument for meticulously analyzing the surface topography of a blast-cleaned substrate using $Testex$ $Replica$ $Tape$ . By generating a detailed $three-dimensional$ $(3D)$ $image$ $and$ $over$ $fourteen$ $surface$ $texture$ $parameters$ , it moves beyond simple peak-to-valley measurement to provide a comprehensive digital characterization of the profile. This elevates quality control by providing data comparable to lab-grade contact and non-contact profilometers, directly in the field.

Captures detailed $3D$ $surface$ $imagery$
Records $2D$ and $3D$ roughness parameters
Complies with global industry measurement standards

FAQs

What is the $PosiTector$ $RTR$ $3D$ ’s primary advantage over the $RTR$ $H$ ?

The $RTR$ $3D$ uses $optical$ $technology$ to capture a high-resolution $image$ of the $replica$ $tape$ , which allows it to calculate and report $14$ $2D$ $and$ $3D$ $surface$ $texture$ $parameters$ in addition to the standard peak height ( $HL$ ), providing a far richer dataset.

Which $replica$ $tape$ $grade$ $is$ $best$ $used$ $with$ $the$ $RTR$ $3D$ ?

For acquiring accurate $2D$ and $3D$ surface parameters ( $Ra$ , $Sq$ , $Spd$ , etc.), the $Optical$ $Grade$ $X-Coarse$ $Replica$ $Tape$ is recommended, as the instrument has been specifically calibrated and optimized for this material.

What does the $3D$ $Spd$ $parameter$ $represent$ ?

The $Peak$ $Density$ ( $Spd$ ) parameter is a $3D$ metric that indicates the number of peaks within a given area ( $peaks$ $per$ $square$ $mm$ ). This value is crucial for assessing the uniformity of the blast pattern and is related to key functional properties like coating adhesion and wear.

Is the $PosiTector$ $RTR$ $3D$ $calibrated$ $at$ $the$ $factory$ ?

Yes, the gage arrives fully calibrated and includes a $Long$ $Form$ $Certificate$ $of$ $Calibration$ traceable to national metrology institutes ( $PTB$ for $HL$ and $NPL$ for $Ra$ $and$ $Rt$ ), documenting its accuracy against certified standards.

What $software$ $is$ $used$ $to$ $view$ $the$ $3D$ $surface$ $data$ $files$ ?

The free $PosiSoft$ $Desktop$ software includes a built-in $.SDF$ $viewer$ for analyzing the high-resolution $3D$ data plots, $extracting$ $traces$ , $and$ $modifying$ $filtering$ $settings$ .
