The Benefits of On-Line Gauging

Tighten Process Variations, Reduce Energy Use, and Realize Saving

Off-Line Measurements

Off‑line measurement gives only snapshots: so one out‑of‑spec sample can make an entire production window suspect and costly to rework or scrap.

On-Line Gauging

On‑line measurement delivers real‑time control, alerting operators instantly to any drift so they can correct it immediately.

Measure in the Process

Simplicity and Versatility in Design and Operation

Continuous Product Flows

The gauge tolerates product height fluctuations of ± 100 mm without the measurement being affected.
