Portable air gauge incorporates digital indicator
Mahr Federal has introduced a new concept in air gauging - portability.
The gauge has the ability to use single or dual master air tooling.
Based on the precision of the standard Mahr Federal Dimensionair, the gauge is part of a series of adjustable magnification air comparators that combines the best of a differential air system - stability, accuracy and fast response - with the ability to work as a single master or dual master air gauging system.
"Air gauging has increased in popularity in recent years as part tolerances have gotten tighter," said George Schuetz, Director of Precision Gauges for Mahr Federal.
"Air gauging is fast and accurate, readily used in production environments, and the gauges even help clean parts by blowing dirt away".
"The flexibility of the adjustable balanced air system on the new Universal Dimensionair provides stable, reliable results, and allows for single mastering or dual master setup quickly and easily".
In single master systems, the gauge is calibrated to zero or a reference measurement, and the user relies on the gauge system accuracy to determine tolerance limits.
Dual master systems use two masters to calibrate maximum and minimum.
For go and no-go applications, the air gauge is usually calibrated with both masters or setting gauges set for both tolerances.
When calibrated with Mahr Federal restrictor kits, it provides the same performance and stability as a standard Dimensionair, and can be used with Mahr Federal tooling and one master for single mastering air gauge applications.
With the addition of built-in magnification and zeroing controls, the unit can also act as a dual master air gauge comparator.
By selecting the appropriate dial configuration, it can be adjusted for use with virtually any dual master air tooling or span master.
