The tribology laboratory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has                established an ongoing program to characterize various tribological             surfaces used in industry, including high precision components such as          aircraft rolling contact bearings and computer recording discs.                 However, the profilometer system used for characterizing surfaces was           never designed for such high precision work or for other than flat              surfaces.  This project provides an optical table, a stylus                     profilometer, and an optical profilometer to enable surface                     measurements for high precision tribological elements and also curved           elements.
