Gaging Machines |
|
 | Rugged Design: our machines are built tough and designed to be simple to maintain. Heavy duty steel frames and black-oxide working surfaces protect sensitive gaging components from damage. |
 | Micron-Level Accuracy: machined surfaces can be measured precisely and repeatably, and our gages ship with a standard 10% GR&R requirement. Both static surfaces (bearing races, datum points, etc) and dynamic surfaces (rotating flanges, bearing surfaces, etc) can be measured accurately. |
 | Hardware Flexibility: the type of hardware used (transducers, controls hardware, etc) can be specified by the customer. |
 | Fast, High Volume Approaches: a single gage can be used to measure multiple part characteristics if necessary. |
 | Inventive, Low-Cost Approaches: if
a longer cycle time is available, machine capital cost can be reduced
by using manual gaging techniques. |
 | Integration: we can provide a stand-alone, offline gage, or we can integrate a machine into an existing process, including process tracking and data collection. |
 | Signal Conditioning and Analysis: our mechanical experience with gaging, and our proprietary digital signal processing techniques allow us to improve the accuracy of our gages beyond the sum of their individual measurement components. |
| Dimensional Gaging - Brake Caliper Characteristics | ||
| The ASC2175 Basic Characteristics Tester is used to test brake caliper performance characteristics. The machine controls a closed-loop hydraulic feed system that pressurizes the part with standard DOT3 brake fluid. Fluid displacement, pressure, and displacement of the caliper body are measured. A wide variety of test profiles are available, and results are exported directly to Microsoft Excel when the test completes. | ||

Machine Type | lab benchtop tester |
| Controls Package | standard PC with custom control software | |
| Cycle Time | minutes to hours, depending on test type | |
| Dimensional Repeatability | +/- 0.003mm | |
| Notes | Once the caliper is set up, testing is fully automated. Lengthy tests can be completed without requiring operator intervention. | |
| Dynamic Dimensional Gaging - Pinion Head Height | ||
 |
The ASC3121 Pinion Head Height Gage measures the distance between the machined flat on a pinion, and an imaginary line stretching between two bores. This measurement proves that the pinion has been assembled and shimmed correctly. The machine rotates the pinion from the flange side to improve dynamic accuracy. | |

Machine Type | production test machine |
| Controls Package | Siemens PLC and HMI | |
| Cycle Time | 30 seconds | |
| Dimensional Repeatability | +/- 0.005mm | |
 | Notes | The machine uses a proprietary algorithm to improve dimensional repeatability by 50% as compared to direct measurement methods. |
| Dynamic Dimensional Gaging - Runout | ||
The ASC2296-04 Flange Runout Gage measures the axial and radial runout of an axle's pinion flange. A precision gage head (shown in red) engages the pinion flange. This gage head is measured by LVDT sensors (mounted to the left of the gage head disc). |

 |
Machine Type | production test machine |
| Controls Package | Allen-Bradley PLC and industrial PC | |
| Cycle Time | 45 seconds | |
| Dimensional Repeatability | +/- 0.013mm | |
| Notes | Non-periodic measurement disturbances (such as debris on the measurement disc or electrical noise) are automatically discarded. | |
