Automated Gaging – Flexible, Low-Cost Alternative (Video)

In previous videos we’ve talked about how to implement automation and how to use smart gages. In this video featuring Bill Cox and the Renishaw Equator™, we combine these two concepts and talk about automated gaging.

So Flexible, So Easy – It Pays for Itself Quickly

The Renishaw Equator automated gaging system is a great alternative to manual or custom gaging because it’s very flexible, easy to apply on the shop floor and delivers accurate data to your CNC machine. Because it’s designed to handle inspection of a wide variety of parts, the Equator is a go-to resource, as handy and practical as a “swiss army knife of gaging.” With the flexibility to be used on multiple tasks, the Equator gage delivers a fast return on investment.

Check out the video and learn about:

• How the Equator is easy to set up and simplifies part changing
• The low-cost design for automated gaging
• The variety of ways you can get information from the gage into your CNC machine
