The STANDARD of Accuracy Laser-Based Verify and calibrate rectangular, square and thin gage LABMASTER is designed to provide the ultimate in blocks, plug gages, threaded plug gages, balls, and user-friendly operation while delivering calibration-quality just about any precision part with complete confidence. accuracy and reproducibility. Our exclusive digital interferometer Measure thickness, diameter, step height, parallelism, measures internal and external dimensions by comparing roundness, flatness, straightness, and concentricity more the measurement probe position to the wavelength of a accurately and with higher precision than before. laser light source, effectively coupling the wavelength of By selecting the automatic cycle mode, the LABMASTER .

Our patented laser path is probe will raise and lower at regular intervals, allowing you in line with the measurement axis to eliminate Abbe error. to remove and place blocks on the anvil after the measure- The thermal coefficient of expansion for this laser ment has been automatically recorded in GageCal. By wavelength is more than ten times smaller than that of steel, employing this automatic cycle mode, users can reduce making for a highly stable measurement source. Equally an 88 piece gage block set calibration time from eight important, the linearity errors inherent in other scales hours to one hour. (glass, steel, LVDT's) are absent in Pratt & Whitney's laser. Pratt & Whitney also offers the LASERULER , Because this wavelength of light is stable, linear, and an economical alternative for your less demanding has very high resolution, when compared to like instruments, metrology needs.

3 LABMASTER provides the most accurate means of linear dimension measurement available in the world. And A STANDARD to Grow With that's not all. At Pratt & Whitney we're committed to an ongoing GageCal , our own Windows -based control software development program, that will produce a continuous simplifies data collection and speeds up data entry.

4 Today, be assured that your investment is safe. Because Simple, Flexible and Fast as your measurement needs evolve-and they will-your To master the SYSTEM , use the following two step LABMASTER and Pratt & Whitney will be there ready to technique. First place a small gage block on the anvil and accommodate your new measurement needs. lower the probe. Once engaged, enter the value of the block. Next, raise the probe and replace the gage block Guaranteed Service/A2LA Accredited with another larger gage block. Lower the probe to the The LABMASTER was designed with serviceability block and enter the value of this block. The SYSTEM is now in mind. Our exclusive modular design facilitates problem calibrated over the range of the smaller and larger gage isolation and field interchangeability. We offer a one-year blocks.

By controlling the operation of the LABMASTER and facilitating data collection, GageCal increases total measurement productivity. And with a graphics-rich user interface, you'll be amazed with how simple it is to use. We designed GageCal to be intuitive and self-teaching. The operator simply chooses the class of gage So much so, that the extensive context sensitive HELP (ie., XX or XXX), in the dialogue box, selects the appropriate screens are seldom called upon. Mouse or hot key driven, cell in the smart spreadsheet, and clicks on the close with pull down menus and icons that let you click your way probe icon(or presses the footswitch). GageCal displays through a calibration, GageCal helps put you at ease, so the measurement in the Current Reading window and you can concentrate on the business of MEASURING .

The data can be saved, Microsoft WINDOWS environment allows multitasking printed in a customized report, or exported to any Windows based program. and data export to other programs. Smart Spreadsheets Speed Up Data Entry Gage Management Faster measurement begins with selecting an icon Our optional gage management module, designed in (or pressing the hot key) to first master the instrument, and accordance with ISO 17025 and ISO 9000, puts gage then calibrate your particular gages. The user can choose information at your finger tips. It represents a logical addition between pre-defined applications (Gage Blocks, Balls, to the LABMASTER because it makes storing, retrieving Plugs, etc.) and Free Measure (for custom applications). and reporting gage information quite simple.
