Western’s Micro IIi Air Gage Readout delivers precise measurements of internal and external diameters, tapers, and roundness with 5 micro-inch resolution. It features a microprocessor, digital and analog displays, USB and RS-232 outputs, and auto-calibration. Western also offers custom air gages for various precision inspections.

Air gauges are non-contact devices that utilize air pressure for measurement. They play a crucial role in ensuring precision and quality control in the manufacturing industry, from automotive to aerospace industries. They are particularly valuable for measuring delicate or easily deformable materials.

Air gages work well due to three main reasons: they are body-piloting type, use dual-opposing sensor method, and have a noncontact sensing component. These features are present in most air gage designs, including ID/OD air probe, air ring, and air length gages.
