Standard components
Standard components for simple and complex measuring chains
Our dimensional metrology checks diameters, lengths, distances, shape, and position of your workpieces either with tactile or pneumatic sensors depending on measuring task and process-integration. The robustness and precision of our measuring solutions are the result of the know-how we have acquired over several decades. This experience can be found in our standard modules developed in-house and which equip our customers‘ simplest „at-line“ manual measurement gages as well as their complex measuring machines, integrated into the most efficient production lines.
Pneumatic measurement convinces with a very high resolution. It is extremely robust and insensitive to dirt, making it perfect for use under tough manufacturing conditions. Our pneumatic process meets the high standards of DIN 2271.
Tactile measurement uses contacting sensors that record the measured values extremely quickly. Typically, tactile sensors are used in multi-point measurement technology where the individual measured values must be recorded quickly in order to maintain a short cycle time.

Pneumatic measuring components
A pioneer in pneumatic, non-contact measurement technology, we are a world-renowned specialist with more than 70 years of experience. Pneumatic metrology uses air jets in combination with air to electronic converters to create a high pressure air circuit that allows sub-micron measurement of precision parts. Our pneumatic technology is capable of measuring a variety of part features, including I.D., O.D., roundness, cylindricity, parallelism, conicity and even distances between axes.

Probe satellites
Probe satellites function as a receiver for pneumo-electronic transducers, or LVDT tactile sensors. Each measurement circuit is attached to one channel on the probe satellite, which corresponds to an assigned I.D. in the evaluation software.
The PS50, PS75 & PS100 probe satellites can perform dynamic or static dimensional measurements, with the option of connecting to a large variety of either HOMMEL ETAMIC, or other commercially available sensors.
