NEW MEYER GAGE CALIBRATION LABORATORY

As of October 29, 2010, Meyer Gage Company Inc is extremely pleased to provide calibration and final inspection services with new instrumentation capabilities reaching dimensional accuracy levels down to a mere 2 millionths(0.05 microns) of an inch as part of our continuous improvement program.

Meyer Gage has recently completed construction of a dedicated, fully-automated climate controlled inspection room to promote the highest levels of gaging and measurement reliability standards while delivering the lowest level of measurement uncertainty than any other time in our 50 year history.

We've installed a Pratt & Whitney LabMaster Universal® laser-based universal length measuring (ULM) system for gage calibration that can precisely measure:
• length
• taper
• outside diameter
• inside diameter
• pitch diameter
• major/minor diameter
• linear displacement
• lead
• thickness

The ULM system maintains ultra-high accuracy by fully integrating a laser interferometer, zero Abbe offset design, and a large measuring table with center position, height, pitch, and yaw controls.

The Pratt & Whitney proprietary system helps remove operator-influenced errors commonly observed with traditional gaging methods, by using a computer-controlled, precision air-bearing slide and gaging fingers —to maintain a constant force during measurement.

The Labmaster Universal (LM U306270) is suitable for virtually all internal (ID) and external (OD) measuring applications within a range of 0.020-inch (0.5 mm) to 14-inches (356 mm).

Some of the new ULM measuring capabilities include:
• gage blocks
• pin & plug gages
• tapered plugs
• end standards
• snap gages
• plain rings, threaded rings & plugs
• cylindrical setting gages
• API gages
• micrometers, indicators, LVDTs, calipers

The Labmaster Universal uses Pratt & Whitney's GageCal® software that automatically enters tolerances for:
• rings
• plugs
• pins
• balls
• threads (calculates pitch/major diameter)

The ULM and GageCal software combination also flags out-of-tolerance conditions.

To sustain these high levels of reliability, this inspection station is housed within a new 20' x 44' laboratory which includes a custom designed HVAC system with a microprocessor-based environmental management system to allow for more precise temperature and humidity control.

This new addition to our South Windsor, CT facilities can deliver some of the highest levels of gaging and measurement reliability in the industry. Meyer Gage has positioned itself to bring new levels of quality to our customers —now, within 50 nanometers of precision.
