The measurement of roughness close to production is becoming increasingly important. In connection with the measurement of gears, roughness parameters are of great interest, for example, as they not only describe the surface topography in the micro- and nanometer range, but also characterize the running behavior of gearboxes. In addition to roughness, waviness also plays a role.
