ROMER to Introduce 6-Axis MultiGage at EASTEC
 WIXOM,
MI, May 21, 2008 - ROMER Inc., a Hexagon Metrology company, announced today
its new-to-the market ROMER MultiGage will be showcased in Booth #3101 at
EASTEC 2008, Eastern States Exposition, in West Springfield, MA, from
May 20 - May 22, 2008. Designed exclusively for today's machine shop, the
six-axis MultiGage is a portable, precision CMM with a 1.2 m measuring
volume. The new MultiGage is used for 3D dimensional control of molds,
parts, tooling, castings, and more. Its quick-mount system allows the CMM to
be setup for on-demand measurement and inspection of parts or assemblies on
your machine tool or anywhere on the shop floor. ROMER is industry renowned
for its line of portable CMMs utilized in over 100 industries including
automotive, aerospace, ship/ boat building, and more.
 With
the MultiGage, a machine shop can streamline their measurement process and
replace a variety of handheld tools in the inspection room or out in the
shop, such as height gages, dial calipers, bore gages, jo blocks,
micrometers, dial indicators and more. The new CMM is easy to install and
use, with a very short learning curve for operators. The system's
plug-and-play probes and ultra-intuitive software interface add up to
no-nonsense operation. Detailed measurement reports are also generated
automatically.
“The ROMER MultiGage is the state-of-the-art metrology tool for machine
shop owners looking to upgrade their operation with precision dimensional
control and inspection. The MultiGage provides the functionality of a 3D
height gage, but packs on new features and extremely high accuracies.
Measuring features and geometric shapes on parts has never been so easy,"
states Paul Evans, Product Manager for ROMER, Inc.
Mobile and Easy-to-Operate
The portable MultiGage gives machine shops access to the same
functionality typically found in a metrology lab. The MultiGage‘s long life,
internal battery grants unfettered mobile operation. There is no special
installation required onsite. The MultiGage can be mounted directly onto a
machine tool, and the user can inspect parts without removal. Operators are
not required to have metrology knowledge. After each part inspection, the
software program automatically generates detailed measurement reports.
Innovative Counterweight and Wrist Design
The MultiGage's innovative counterweight design eliminates operator
fatigue and assures the same high accuracy over the full range of
measurements. A new ergonomic wrist with intuitive and easy-to-reach buttons
is comfortable to use, and increases operator productivity.
Plug-and-Measure Probe
Using Swiss-made multi-wire connectors from TESA, ROMER’s automatic probe
recognition feature is now combined with a highly proven, robust kinematic
joint connection. MultiGage electronic probes are automatically recognized
and identified by the software requiring no recalibration of probes required
when changing from probe to probe.
