Profilometers are complex machines capable of making extremely
accurate measurements if working correctly and used properly.
It is no wonder when considering the environment, they are used
in which, and with multiple operators, that eventually these gages
fail and need repair.
We repair broken profilometers or profilometers that no longer work. We have fixed and fix more profilometer gauges from not repeating by Mitutoyo,
Mahr and Brown and Sharpe.
Listed are some of the most common issues seen with
profilometers.

While some of these problems may be relatively minor, others
will require professional service. There are very few repair
shops that can competently complete this sort of work. As this is a piece
of precision equipment is should be repaired by people
specializing in the field. These gages require a number of
specialized tools to disassemble and repair as well as an anti
static environment. In North America, one of
the best repair shops is Precision
Tool Works.
