BLTl inc. Pride In Précision ABU Mi oForm Eage Ultra-Precision Form Measurements ABTech's MicroForm™ Gage brings ease and confidence to measuring geometric tolerances with ultra-precision accuracy and repeatability. State-of-the-art technologies are featured throughout the gage system. The metrology platform combines an ultra-smooth, maintenance-free rotary air bearing with an integrated direct drive as the reference axis embedded in a cast iron base. Reliable and repeat-able. Common contributors to measurement errors in competitors' gages come from internal electrical components that are sources of thermal and/or vibration interference. These have been purposefully engineered out of the MicroForm measurement platform. The motor drive amplifier, power supply, encoder interface and other electronic hardware are installed in the separate metrology controller and therefore isolated from the work piece. This gives you the confidence to know that your measurement result is from the part alone, and doesn't include "noise" from the rest of the system. Along with measuring roundness, flatness, square-ness, concentricity (in and out of plane), and parallel-ism, we've incorporated a novel "live runout" feature for quick in-process shop floor TIR checks. There's even an optional Wedge (aka "Edge Thickness Varia­tion" or ETV) measurement module that extends the system's automated measurement and analysis capa-bilities for applications specific to the optics industry. Other form measurements available. Features: High speed data acquisition for real-time measurements Nearly perfect linearity over full measurement range Ultra-smooth maintenance-free air bearing table Integrated brushless DC servo direct drive Drives and electronics isolated from test platform Thermally stable rigid cast iron base Independent controller éliminâtes PC resource conflicts Indicator positioning flexibility with articulating gage arm Chrome plated steel T-slots for multiple gage stand options Spherical seat tip/tilt maintains center when adjusting tilt ABTech, Inc.
