The M3 is the last generation tool for dimensional control from 1 or 2 air gauges, probes or scales. This version (13020, 13000) allows you to connect : Incremental probes (Heidenhain (example Heidenhain MT101), Magnescale DK with an adaptor and Mitutoyo LG with an adaptor). Linear scales (Heidenhain, Magnescale), Rotary encoders. 

Key features

  • 2 measurement configurations (2 characteristics) 
  • Different display modes with 1 or 2 measurements, with or without tolerances.
  • Tolerance limits and control limits (Warnings).
  • Absolute or relative measurement
  • Direct or dynamic measurement (Min, Max, Max-Min , Average, Median)
  • USB communication “virtual keyboard”
  • Modbus-RTU or ASCII Communication on RS232
  • Sorting by classes of size, up to 16 classes by characteristic
  • Possibility to connect an optionnal I/O module with 8 optocoupled I/O.
  • Possibility to connect a multi-function footswitch (measurement transfert, calibration etc…)
  • Optional external module for temperature compensation from PT100 sensor or Type K thermocouple.
  • Easy to use and reliable

Thanks to its user friendly interface and its general simplicity the M3 is a device that will be immediately adopted by every operator.

The 4”3 resistive touch screen display can be used with gloves.

This digital readout has several way of communication, USB and RS232 to remote control the device and/or send the measurements to an external system.

Its housing machined in a solid aluminium block offers the M3 an incomparable robustness even when used in the most severe industrial environments.

USB connection

The mini-USB provides power to the M3 and allows for measurement transmission

Many functions and measurement mode can be selected through the keyboard:

  • Tolerance limits, Control limits (warnings) Dimension of the master piece (reference piece)
  • Calculation formula (C1, C2, -C1, -C2, C1+C2, C1-C2, -C1+C2, -C1-C2, 3 points diameter)
  • Calibration 
  • Different display modes with 1 or 2 characteristics displayed 
  • Direct or dynamic measurement (Max, Min, Max-Min, Average, Median) 
  • Absolute or relative measurement
  • Sorting by classes of size, up to 16 classes by characteristic
  • Measurement direction inversion
  • Possibility to lock selected functions with a password
  • Display resolution (from 2 to 5 decimals) 
  • M-Bus connector for the optionnal connection of a module with 8 input/outputs (go, nogo, preset, send measurement etc…) 
  • Metric (µm or mm) or imperial measurements (inches) 
  • Selection between 2 measurement configurations (2 characteristics) 
  • Automatic change of program by moving the probe 
  • Different languages installed. New language can be installed upon request
