Dimensional Measurement

Solartron Metrology has taken a novel but practical route to solving
the problem of close proximity gauging to produce the D6P range of narrow body Gauging Probes. Read more...

Block Gauges make precision measurements of bores and cavities a simple and reliable process. A range of springs are available to ensure that tip forces can be maintained with the Block Gauge mounted in any attitude. Read more...

The Solartron Orbit® Network: a fully formed digital measurement system that makes it simple and easy to inter-connect high accuracy Solartron instruments, and other sensors to your computer, network, or PLC. Read more...

The freedom to roam with Solartron’s WiGauge™ brings increased efficiency to gauging stations and work practices. The ability to work without cables means that the gauging process is not restricted by cable length and routing, or the risk of cable damage. Read more...

Block Gauges make precision measurements of bores and cavities a simple and reliable process. A range of springs are available to ensure that tip forces can be maintained with the Block Gauge mounted in any attitude Read more...

Feather Touch Probes are designed specifically for applications where low tip forces are critical. Air is vented through the shroud at the front of the probe during actuation, which in turn cleans the bearing. With no gaiter to protect the shaft from contamination they are unsuitable for use in wet or oily conditions Read more...

Flexures are ideal for very high volume and high precision applications such as bearing component gauging. They are often the best solution for measuring moving material, such as roundness testing, with Orbit® 3 set to very high resolution and fast data transmission. Read more...

'J' type probes are similar to standard pneumatic probes except that actuation is by an inbuilt piston. High tip forces are available but as air is vented through a port close to the front on the probe, they have a lower IP rating. Read more...

The DT/30 range of Pneumatic Push Probes is designed for use in automatic gauging applications where extra mechanical travel eliminates the need for pneumatic actuators. These probes are to be used where a parts cavity or hole depth needs to be measured. The shaft retracts up to 31 mm allowing simple automatic loading of the fixture. The DT/30 is available with 5 and 10 mm measurement ra... Read more...

The Ultra Feather Touch probe has so light a tip force, it is a viable alternative to a non-contact sensor in many applications. With various tips available in ruby and nylon, the UFT is already being used to check glass, rubber, semi-conductor wafers and other delicate materials. Read more...
