Pratt & Whitney to Demonstrate the Most
Accurate,
Direct-Reading, Measuring Instrument in the World
Bloomfield, CT, March 5, 2004 – Pratt &
Whitney will showcase their
LabMaster Universal ID/OD measuring instrument
at this years
Quality Expo trade show. The laser-based
LabMasterŽ Universal has been developed by Pratt &
Whitney for gage calibration laboratories that need
to precisely measure length, outside diameter,
inside diameter, pitch diameter, linear
displacement, and thickness.
The LabMasterŽ Universal is capable of measuring
gage blocks, end standards, plain rings, threaded
rings & plugs, pin & plug gages, tapered plugs,
cylindrical setting gages, ball bearings,
micrometers, indicators, LVDTs, calipers, and snap
gages with instrument uncertainty to 2 millionths of
an inch (0.05 micron). It is suitable for virtually
all ID and OD applications through its wide
0.020-inch (0.5 mm) to 14-inches (356 mm) measuring
range.
High accuracy is maintained by its laser
interferometer, zero Abbe offset design, and large
measuring table with center position, pitch, and yaw
controls. The computer-controlled precision
air-bearing slide and gaging fingers remove
operator-influenced errors commonly observed with
traditional gaging methods by maintaining constant
force. It also greatly minimizes ‘wear and tear’ to
both the measuring standards and the instrument.
The GageCalŽ gage calibration software controls
the operation of the LabMasterŽ Universal and
facilitates data collection. Dimensional data can be
transferred to Word, Excel, or your favorite
spreadsheet for creating a calibration certificate.
Pratt & Whitney designs, manufactures, and
services dimensional metrology systems used in gage
calibration laboratories throughout the Americas,
Europe and Asia.
