Air Gauging is a fast, user-friendly method of providing high precision results in even the most challenging of shop-floor environments. Using air flow volumes and pressures to measure parts, Air Gauging is a reliable, repeatable technology well suited for applications that demand sub-micron precision tolerancing.
Air Gauging technology is flexible; enabling measurement of not only dimensions, but geometric and relational characteristics, such as squareness, parallelism, ovality, taper and straightness.
The working range of our standard air gauge tooling is 0.08mm but can be extended by the addition of a third master. For optimum accuracy, Bowers produces the Setting Masters at the Upper and Lower product limits.
Different organisations may prefer differing methods of air gauging. Bowers Group offers air gauging with a multi-function touchscreen Air Gauge Display, the Bowers Air1/2, as well as the multi-function multi-channel Air3. The Air3 is expandable and can handle up to 99 connected devices.
Air gauging offers many great benefits including the following:
Air gauging can be used in a wide range of applications in a variety of industries, including:
