Test & Measurement

Crankshaft Gage aids 100% inspection of critical tolerances.

Designed for operating 2 or 3 shifts per day, Model 1300 has granite surface and incorporates touch-screen control, air bearings, and optical linear scale for end-of-line accuracy. It permits automatic loading on horizontal axis and features less than 1 min cycle times with sub-micron accuracy for 3 micron roundness tolerances. Gage enables statistical production control of journal grinders for...

Surface Finish Gage speeds crankshaft measurements.

Model 1000 has 3 variable reluctance pickups, each having 5Â-µm diamond stylus that measure roughness parameters such as Ra, Rp, Tp, and Rsk on main and rod journals as well as thrust faces. Manually loaded, fully automatic gage utilizes Windows NT software graphics and may be stored and used in SPC programs. Capable of scanning 2,000 points/mm, gage measures entire length of journal in 1...
