Electronic Comparator Gage

Electronic Comparator Gages are precision measuring tools used in the field of metrology for dimensional inspection and quality control purposes. They are part of the supply class Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools, which falls under the supply group Measuring Tools.

Electronic Comparator Gages are designed to measure the dimensional accuracy and tolerances of various objects, such as machined parts, components, and assemblies. They utilize electronic sensors and digital displays to provide accurate and precise measurements.

These gages typically consist of a measuring probe or stylus, which is brought into contact with the object being measured. The probe converts the physical displacement into an electrical signal, which is then processed by the electronic comparator unit. The comparator unit compares the measured value with a predetermined reference value and displays the difference on the digital display.

Electronic Comparator Gages offer several advantages over traditional mechanical gages, such as increased accuracy, faster measurement times, and the ability to store and analyze measurement data. They are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and quality control laboratories.

Some key features of Electronic Comparator Gages may include:

1. Digital display: Provides a clear and easy-to-read measurement value.
2. Data storage: Allows for the storage of measurement data for future reference or analysis.
3. Statistical analysis: Some gages may have built-in statistical functions to analyze measurement data and calculate parameters such as mean, standard deviation, and range.
4. Connectivity: Some gages may have the ability to connect to a computer or network for data transfer and analysis.
5. Multiple measurement modes: Gages may offer different measurement modes, such as absolute, incremental, or comparative measurements.
6. Adjustable measuring force: Some gages allow for the adjustment of the measuring force applied by the probe to ensure accurate and repeatable measurements.

It is important to note that the specific features and capabilities of Electronic Comparator Gages may vary depending on the manufacturer and model. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications and user manual for detailed information on a particular gage.
