Mitutoyo ROUNDTEST RA-1600M

The Mitutoyo ROUNDTEST RA-1600M is a PC-based roundness and cylindricity measuring system built for precision form analysis in both laboratory and shop-floor environments. It combines a high-accuracy turntable, guided workpiece alignment and flexible analysis software to support repeatable inspection of rotational components. This combination helps quality teams move from workpiece setup to documented results within one coordinated measurement workflow.

High-Accuracy Roundness and Cylindricity Measurement

The RA-1600M evaluates roundness, cylindricity, coaxiality and related form characteristics that can affect the fit, motion and performance of shafts, rings, bearings and other turned parts. Mitutoyo specifies rotational accuracy of (0.03 + 6H/10,000) µm, supporting demanding inspection while keeping the system accessible for entry-level through mid-range roundness applications.

Simplified Workpiece Centering and Leveling

A precision turntable and alignment table help operators center and level the workpiece before measurement. Preliminary measurements identify misalignment, and on-screen guidance shows the required micrometer-head adjustment. The system provides a centering range of plus or minus 5 mm and a leveling range of plus or minus 1 degree, helping reduce setup uncertainty across different workpieces. An over-range protection function stops movement when the detector exceeds its range.

Visual Analysis and Customizable Reporting

Measurement results can be displayed through normal, wire-frame, surface-map and shaded graphics to make form conditions easier to interpret. Report layouts can be customized with selected results, graphics and data, while saved measurement procedures can carry the workflow from measurement through calculation, result storage and printing. FA Metrology can help determine how the RA-1600M fits within a broader surface and contour measurement program.
