UNIVERSAL LENGTH MEASURING SYSTEM LABMICROMETER

Product catalog summary

Overview
The LABMICROMETER™ Universal Length Measuring System by Pratt & Whitney is a laser-based measurement tool designed for high accuracy and reproducibility. It uses a digital interferometer to measure internal and external dimensions by comparing probe positions to the laser light wavelength, minimizing errors such as Abbe error.

Key Features

Mechanical and Thermal Stability: A cast iron base ensures reproducible results.
Modular Construction: USB technology facilitates in-field serviceability.
Digital Laser Interferometer: Provides high resolution and traceability with zero Abbe offset.
Two Point Calibration: Allows mastering with two lab-grade gage blocks without environmental data collection.
PC Control with GageCal™ Software: Simplifies data collection and reduces errors.
Multi-Axis Measuring Table (Optional): Offers five degrees of freedom for quick part alignment.
V-Mounted, Bi-Directional Probes (Optional): Eliminates setup changes and allows easy switching between measurements.
Dual Measurement: Easily switch between English and Metric units.

Applications
The system is suitable for measuring gage blocks, thread gages, plugs, pins, and other precision components. It supports both predefined and custom applications.

GageCal™ Software
GageCal™ is a user-friendly control software that enhances measurement productivity with a graphics-rich interface. It supports multi-tasking and data export, and includes a gage management module for tracking and reporting gage information.
