Custom-Built Machine Gauges

We can build custom gauges for any machine or machine designed specifically for any application and requirements – even gauges not designed or built by anyone else! Interface options include multi-language support, multiple measuring capabilities, and any communication method.

Application examples for preventative maintenance:

• Workpiece holding and clamping systems: Is your machine using proper force and alignment consistently? Could wear or friction be on internal components? A gauge can be designed to fit the constraints or model of a workholding machine or part with any unique specifications.

• Turning centers, spindles, and lathes: Alignment/centering, speed, force, and axial positioning are crucial measurements to test for repeatability, wear on internal or external components, and overall run-out of a machining system.

• CNC Machines: Many costly and destructive damages can occur if detrimental elements of CNC machines are not checked on a regular basis – chances are, we already have a gauge designed to inspect these elements. If your machine is unique by most standards, we can easily provide a solution.

• Actuators and positioning systems: Test for repeatability and accuracy under any system. Preventative maintenance gauges may also improve the threshold and operating conditions a machine system can work at, as well as test for issues before they occur and cause damage.

Examples of features and options:

• Rotational and torque measuring (RPM) for spindles, lathes, and turning centers
• Axial positional measuring
• Custom functions or features for a display
• Data logging and wireless data transmission
• Calibration and conversion to any measuring units or specifications
• Support for multiple languages
• USB, Serial, PC, and Network interfaces
• Tool holder, drawbar, and spindle designs with specific dimensions, unique standards, and integration with even unsupported components
• Gauges built with special materials for different environments
• Machine tool integrated clamping force reading
• On-demand measuring and preventive maintenance systems
