(Mahr Federal: Providence, RI) -- With the introduction of the MarSurf XR 1 surface measuring system, Mahr, a manufacturer and marketer of dimensional measuring equipment, has bridged the gap between portable surface measuring devices and larger, full-featured, PC-based surface measurement and evaluation systems. The MarSurf XR 1 combines the skidded and skidless drive units of Mahr’s portable M-Series instruments with its industry-leading MarWin evaluation software.

The new XR 1 provides an affordable entry into the world of PC-based measurement and evaluation systems, including compliance with all international standards, diverse evaluation methods, extensive documentation, large storage capacity, data export and import, and networking and other benefits.

“The gap between portable units and higher-end surface evaluation systems used to be quite large,” says Pat Nugent, vice president of metrology for Mahr Federal, a member of the Mahr Group. “The XR 1 sits squarely in that gap, offering users the benefits of both portability and fuller-featured evaluation in skidded and skidless measurements.”
