The Taylor-Hobson-Talysurf surface roughness tester uses a stylus that senses variations in a surface's profile. As the stylus moves across the surface, the gap between its armature and induction coils varies, modulating the AC current flowing through the coils. This modulated output is demodulated so the current is directly proportional to the stylus' vertical displacement. The demodulated output operates a pen recorder to produce a surface profile record and allows for a numerical roughness assessment. The Taylor-Hobson-Talysurf provides a more rapid and accurate roughness measurement than other testers due to its carrier modulating principle and demodulated output.

- 2. The Taylor-Hobson-Talysurf surface roughness tester:- This instrument is a stylus and skid type of instrument working on carrier modulating principle. The variation in the surface profile is sensed by the probe , which is attached to the armature. The gap between the armature and E-shaped arm varies according to the surface profile and due to this amplitude of the AC current flowing in the coil is modulated. Construction:- As shown in figure ,the stylus is mounted on the armature , which is pivoted at the central limb of an E-shaped soft iron head. The outer limbs of the head are provided with two induction coils and a small air gap is left between the armature and outer limbs of the head.
- 4. Working:- A downward movement of the stylus results in decreasing the air gap of the primary coil and in an equal increase of the air gap at the secondary coil. Thus the amplitude of the original A.C. current flowing in the coils is modulated. The output of the bridge thus consists of modulation only as shown in figure . This is further demodulated so that the current now is directly proportional to the vertical displacement of the stylus only. The demodulated output is caused to operate a pen recorder to produce a permanent record and the meter to give a numerical assessment directly. The response of this instrument is more rapid and accurate as compared to Tomlinson surface tester.
