60-Second Surface Analysis – Are these peaks real, or noise? Part 3

 

Sometimes it’s hard to see the forest through the trees—or the surface through the peaks! This is the third video in our series about how to tell surface texture features from noise. The peaks on this ground and lapped shaft don’t look like the result of grinding or lapping…can we still salvage this measurement and see the surface that’s hidden within all those peaks? Find out how to do it—and when not to do it—in this 60-Second Surface Analysis video!
