L.S. Starrett Bluetooth-Enabled Electronic Digital Bore Gages
The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced two new Bluetooth® enabled series of electronic digital bore gages with a range of accuracy and convenience features for increasing measurement throughput when inspecting internal hole dimensions. The 781BXT AccuBore® Electronic Bore Gages are a trigger-operated gaging system, and the 770BXT Electronic Bore Gages, operated via thimble rotation, feature IP67 protection against dirt and coolant, making them ideal in harsh machining environments. Bluetooth wireless technology in both bore gage series enables fast, robust measurement data acquisition capabilities without the encumbrances and limitations of cables. Wireless technology also provides an ideal platform for manufacturers bracing to meet the comprehensive big data requirements of Industry 4.0.
AccuBore gages are a trigger-activated, two-point and three-point bore gaging system with extended range. Convenient single-hand operation provides increased measurement speed, control and throughput. A user simply squeezes the trigger, inserts the gage into the bore and releases the trigger, producing an instant reading from a large, easy-to-read digital display. Speed and convenience is further enhanced by a repositionable indicator for left, right hand, or vertical viewing and Go/No-Go tolerance indicator lights quickly display when a bore is within a preset measurement range.
