AIR GAGING AND NEW HEIGHT GAGE

Mahr Federal offers its innovative line of Air Gaging products for machine tool holders, taper tooling and spindles, along with its new Digimar® 817 CLM Height Measuring Instrument. Tapers are critical in the performance of high speed machining applications. The ability of air gaging to incorporate multiple gaging points in a small tool makes it ideal for checking tapers for size and taper angle. Air gaging provides a fast and accurate means to measure and verify holders and spindles right at the point of manufacture.

Mahr Federal's new Digimar® 817 CLM Height Measuring Instrument offers three distinct ways to initiate measurement. In addition to normal keypad initiation, a Quick Mode feature allows the measurement cycle to be initiated by simply pushing the carriage in the direction of the object to be measured. Also, two Speed Keys on the base allow the operator to comfortably move the measuring carriage to the desired position and start a measurement. Combined with an easy-to-program Teach-In Mode, these features can greatly reduce inspection time for a mini series consisting of only a few test pieces. The Digimar 817 CLM offers a wide range of measurement functions in both 1 D and optional 2 D, including dynamic measurement functions, perpendicularity and straightness measurements. Data can be printed via a USB-connected printer, saved on integrated USB memory, or output for additional processing via an RS232-interface. Additional measuring instruments can also be connected with an Opto-RS232-interface. www.mahr.com
