Measurement technology

Brief description of analogue and digital measuring devices

Vernier calipers are versatile hand tools used to measure outside, inside and depth dimensions. They consist of a fixed and a movable leg, with the movable leg sliding along the measuring rail to take measurements.

Micrometers are precision measuring tools used to determine dimensions in the micron range. They consist of a U-shaped frame, a spindle and a vernier scale that shows the exact dimension.

Dial gauges are instruments used to measure small distances or deviations. They use a spring to move the needle on a circular scale that shows the measurement.

Height markers are measuring tools used to measure and mark the height of a point above a reference surface, usually a flat surface. They have a fixed base and a vertical bar on which the ruler slides.

Scribing tools are hand tools used for scribing or marking lines on workpieces, typically in metalworking. They consist of a handle and a hard steel pin.

Force gauges are tools used to measure the force exerted on an object in different units such as newtons or kilograms.

Shims are precision steel tools used in pairs to hold work pieces at a specified height in a vise or on a machine.

Gauge blocks are high precision hardened steel blocks used to calibrate gages and set up machines in the manufacturing industry.

Digital precision spirit levels use sensors to determine deviations from the horizontal or vertical. The measurement results are shown on a digital display that offers high readability and accuracy.

Depth gauges / depth calipers are devices that measure the depth of depressions, holes or spaces. They often use capacitive or inductive measuring methods and usually show the measured values on a digital display.

Precision measuring devices are high-precision instruments that are used in areas such as micromechanics or microelectronics. You can automate complex measurement tasks and display the results digitally.

Radius gauges are used to measure the radius of objects such as spheres or cylinders. They use sensors to record the curvature of objects and evaluate the data digitally.

Thickness gauges use sensors to measure the thickness of materials. They can be used on a variety of materials including metal, wood, plastic and glass.

Magnetic tripods are devices used to fix measuring instruments or other tools to a magnetic surface. Electronic models can be remotely controlled or programmed to assume specific positions or movements.

Roughness gauges are measurement tools that quantify the surface roughness of a material. They usually use a stylus arm to scan the microstructure of the surface and display the measurement data on a digital display.

Thickness gauges use sensors to measure the thickness of materials. They offer high accuracy and fast measurement results, which are shown on a digital display.

Digital hardness testers use sensors and a spring-loaded probe to determine the hardness of a material. The readings are displayed on a digital screen.

3D probes are devices used in CNC machines to determine the position of a workpiece on the machine. They enable high precision and speed in positioning and can often communicate directly with the CNC control.

Angle gauges use sensors to measure angles with high accuracy. They can be used for both simple tasks like checking an angle and more complex tasks like aligning machine parts. (Analog and digital available)

Devices for measuring the straightness of pipes use lasers or other sensors to determine deviations from straightness. They offer high precision and the ability to digitally capture and analyze data. (Analog and digital available)

2D profile measuring devices are electronic measuring tools that are used to record and analyze contours or surface profiles of objects. They record the data using optical or tactile sensors and create a digital image of the measured surface.

Devices for calibrating measuring tools are used to check the accuracy and consistency of measuring instruments and adjust them if necessary. They often use special software and reference standards to ensure high accuracy of the measuring devices.

Measuring plates – the optimal basis

For a precise measurement, an extremely smooth measuring surface is sometimes required. Here, too, there are solutions that help you to use the test device or your measurement technology effectively and to carry out measurements on the highest scale. Workpieces can be accurately fixed using a measuring plate or control plate. These bases, which are mostly made of hard rock or hard metal, help you to process and measure your workpieces with the highest precision.
