CASE STUDIES: BENEFITS OF WIRELESS BORE GAGING

Gadebusch Plant Manager Steffen Timm has extensive experience with networked automatic gaging systems used in the plant’s shaft manufacturing area. These systems, supplied by Marposs (Auburn Hills, MI), automatically measure production shafts and provide compensation feedback to the controls to maintain quality.

That approach is not feasible in the case machining area. “Equipping them all with fully automatic measuring devices would be too expensive and economically unfeasible,” Timm explains. But Timm has been able to obtain many of the same benefits by changing from conventional cable-connected plug gages to M1 Wave wireless gages from Marposs.
