Pratt & Whitney offers most Accurate,
Direct-Reading, Gage Block Comparator
Bloomfield, CT, April 11, 2004 – Pratt &
Whitney will showcase their
LabMaster Standard measuring instrument at this
years
EASTEC trade show. The digital, laser
interferometer-based LabMaster Standard has been
developed by Pratt & Whitney for gage calibration
laboratories that need to precisely measure length,
outside diameter, linear displacement, and
thickness. Popular measuring applications include:
gauge blocks, ball bearings/spheres, pin and plug
gages, thread wires, and film thickness.
The LabMaster Standard is computer-controlled
with a motorized probe, providing automatic cycling
for user-defined gage measurements over a large,
8-inch (200 mm) measuring range. The standard,
constant measuring force is precisely 0.5 oz (14 g),
with optional force configuration settings from 2-40
oz. (50-1100g). A rigid, low-expansion granite base
provides for a stable foundation. Specially designed
hold-down anvil fixtures ensure measurement system
integrity. These features ensures instrument
uncertainty to 2 millionths of an inch (0.05
microns).
The GageCalŪ automatic tolerance software
controls the operation of the LabMaster Standard and
facilitates data collection. Dimensional data can be
transferred to Microsoft Word, Excel, and most
popular gage management programs.
Pratt & Whitney designs, manufactures, and
services metrology systems used in gage calibration
laboratories throughout the Americas, Europe and
Asia. Pratt & Whitney product lines include: gage
calibration instruments, comparators, height gages,
checking instruments, roundness gages, thickness
measuring instruments, geometry & form metrology
systems, laser measuring machines, laser
micrometers, material testing instruments
(tensile/compression), torque instruments, as well
as master and setting gages.
Specialty applications such as gears, bearings,
shafts, balls, optics, films, API threads, tapers,
rings, gage blocks, or your precision components can
also be measured on P&W instruments.
