Magnescale DK and DS gauges are used in mechanical testing of metals, resins, and composites.
10. Marine Propeller Inspection
The Pitchometer is a precision instrument for measuring pitch, axial position, and angular deviation of marine propellers. Available in manual, motorised, and fully automated laser-based versions, it complies with ISO 484 standards and includes training and custom reporting.
11. Multi-Axis Measurement & Wireless Data Collection
IBR Messtechnik solutions such as the C200 Column Gauge, IMBus modules, and ISM wireless systems are used in automated inspection cells and multi-gauge setups. These systems support real-time data acquisition and integration with SPC software.
12. Bore Measurement in Aerospace & Automotive
DIATEST bore gauges offer repeatability up to 0.0002 mm, making them ideal for high-precision internal diameter checks in aerospace and automotive components. Products like the DIA-COME and DIATRON1500-S are used for gear gauging and automated inspection.
13. Surface Plate Inspection
Granite surface plates provide a stable, flat reference for dimensional inspection. Used in calibration labs and workshops, they support height gauges, dial indicators, and CMM setups for flatness and squareness checks.
14. Snap Gauge Applications
Snap gauges are used for fast, repeatable go/no-go checks of external diameters in high-volume production. Ideal for shafts, pins, and turned parts, they ensure dimensional conformity with minimal operator training.
15. In-Process Measurement Solutions
Our in-process gauging systems integrate directly into machining centres, enabling real-time feedback and automatic compensation. These systems reduce scrap, improve cycle times, and ensure consistent part quality.
16. Digital Readouts (DROs) for Manual Machines
Magnescale DRO systems provide high-resolution feedback for manual milling, turning, and grinding machines. With intuitive displays and robust linear encoders, they improve operator accuracy and reduce setup time.
17. High-Precision Linear Encoders
Magnescale SR Series linear encoders offer micron-level resolution and are used in coordinate measuring machines, precision stages, and automated inspection systems.
