Cut the Cord! Wireless Gages Set You Free (Video)

What’s the biggest difference between wired and wireless gages? A lot of aggravation, that’s what. With wired gages, it happens all the time: the CNC machine operator accidentally gets the cord caught inside the work envelope, or steps on the cord, or cuts it somehow. And many other kinds of mayhem can tangle up your part-measuring process. Wireless gages to the rescue!

Too Expensive, You Say?

Wireless gages can be a great solution, that’s an easy decision. But did you know that wireless technology is now available on lower-cost gage systems? Check out this video and learn:

• How a wireless gage pays for itself, immediately
• How to avoid downtime or producing non-complying parts by using a wireless gage
• How to make it easy to check parts in the CNC machine, up to 40 feet away
• How simple it is to use Okuma’s THINC^®-OSP CNC control to integrate your wireless gage and improve accuracy and productivity
