The role of Equator™ gauging systems on the shop floor To control manufacturing processes, gauges, for example sets of callipers, go / no-go gauges or bore gauges, have been used for decades. The Equator system is a flexible gauge, designed to provide speed, repeatability and ease of use for manual or automated applications on the shop floor. As a standalone gauging system • Allows in-process corrections to be made manually or automatically after key manufacturing operations • Allows increased frequency of inspection, and rapid reaction to process variation • Provides quality assurance during manufacture, increasing confidence in final part quality • Both simple and complex measurements are achievable on a single device As part of an automated cell • Delivers all the benefits of a standalone Equator gauging system • Connection to robots and controllers eliminates human error and boosts throughput • Offset feedback can be sent directly to machine tool controllers • Parts can be automatically sorted based on whether they pass or fail inspection
