Wireless Version of the Model 600 Data Collector Released
Plymouth, MN, USA, - ASI DATAMYTE announced today the general availability of the Wireless Model 600 Handheld Data Collector. This version of the 600 works with a long list of devices that are equipped with compatible RF transmitters, such as LMI's 241, 241BW, TP107 and 200. Additional devices can be linked to a Wireless 600 using the MicroRidge Mobile Module. This wireless interface supports a variety of gages, including Brown & Sharpe, CDI, Dillon, Flexbar, Fowler, LMI, Mahr Federal, Mitutoyo, Ono Sokki, Starrett, Sylvac.
"The unique benefit of the Wireless 600," explains Frank Skog, ASI DATAMYTE Product Manager, "is in its use of gage addresses." When an RF-equipped gage is paired with a 600, a dedicated RF link is set up - not only from the gage to a specific 600, but to a specific gage address within that 600. A 600 can have multiple device addresses, each linked to a digital handheld gage, caliper, micrometer, digital indicator, gap and flush gage, true position probe, etc. This means the 600 can collect data from several devices without having to connect and reconnect cables to them.
"The time savings and error-proofing implications should be pretty clear," says Skog. "Eliminating one step that is repeated hundreds of times in the course of a shift has a dramatic effect on productivity. When eliminating the cable connecting and disconnecting steps when multiple devices are involved, the efficiency gains are enormous."
