Abstract
A lot of properties depend on the quality of the surface, such as efficiency, reliability, functional properties, external appearance, and, last but not least, the cost of the entire production process. And if there is an inaccurate assessment during evaluating the integrity of the surface, especially for assessing roughness, this can lead to fatal problems in the actual use of the inspected part in practice. In order to meet all the requirements of the evaluation of the surface structure, it is necessary to keep up with the times and always have control of new possibilities and knowledge from the fields of measuring and evaluating the integrity of the surface, and being able to implement this knowledge into real conditions of use.
In the area described in this article, the selection of software filters, this is not always the case. The main reason is low awareness and the great complexity of choosing a suitable combination of possible procedures and techniques for setting software filters.
Therefore, a comprehensive methodology for the selection of software filters for both periodic surfaces and subsequently for aperiodic surfaces was created and is described in this article. Its coherence and graphical simplicity are prerequisites for quick understanding and easy implementation of the methodology in common practice.
The methodology for the selection of the software filter has 4 steps for periodic surfaces and 5 for aperiodic surfaces, which help the user of the profilometer, whether contact or contactless, to correctly set the device. Furthermore, the methodology should ensure that two people measure the same, or at least in the order of hundredths of the same results (values), which currently is not quite the case.
