Air gauging systems

High precision Swiss technology

The pneumatic measurement or air gauging units and systems are mostly used for measuring cylindrical work piece features such as bores and shafts diameters. It is a non-contact measuring technique that performs dimensional and geometric checks of the part.

It offers the following advantages:

Measurements are taken with high reliability, accuracy and repeatability
Non-contact measurement eliminates the risk of damaging the work piece
Pneumatic measurement system can be operated in harsh environment
Air pressure acts as a powerful cleaner at the measuring points, thus enabling the user to inspect even dirty, oiled and greased surfaces
Inexperienced users and qualified staff are usually promptly convinced of the safety use and fast and stable results, as tolerances are more and more tighter on the shop floor

Tech Specs

The repeatability given here is valid when the other parameters like small introduction gap and all the other rules in the measuring chain are respected. To assure those kinds of repeatability value the analyse from one of our technician is necessary with the purpose to focus on repeatability value.
