Bowers Air1 & Air2

HIGH ACCURACY NON-CONTACT MEASUREMENT

Air gauging on the shop floor is a simple yet robust method of measurement that offers a myriad of measurement capability but with the smallest of footprint in a busy crowded factory floor. The Bowers Air 1 (Single Channel) and Air 2 (Twin Channel) system boasts a user-friendly modern design and a touch screen for ease of use and readability.

SMALL UNIT, SIMPLE OPERATION

For improved accuracy, the Bowers Air 1/2 benefits from two or three points of calibration, the minimum, the maximum and the mid: this offers greater linearity.

With no moving parts, the toughened glass touch screen requires no special maintenance making this device suitable for harsh working environments. Numerous connectivity options make the measuring process fast and user friendly.

CONFIGURATION

The Bowers Air 1/2 allows you to set up the defined working parameters with speed, accuracy, and ease by using nothing more complicated than a QR code, which is pre-loaded with the correct measurements and tolerances. The QR scanner plugs straight into the device and does not require any external hardware other than the QR code scanner.
