Cutting-Edge Bore Gaging System Offers Unmatched Precision, Versatility, and Efficiency for High-Precision Measurement Needs
ST. LOUIS, MO – Sunnen Products Company, a global leader in high-precision bore finishing and measurement, highlights the PGE-6000 Gage, a cutting-edge bore gaging system that redefines accuracy, versatility, and efficiency in dimensional measurement.
The PGE-6000 Gage surpasses traditional mechanical gages with its Electronically Amplified Comparative System, offering unparalleled accuracy, reliability, versatility, simplicity, and economy. Its proven PG gage mechanical design, coupled with sophisticated electronics, positions it as the most adaptable bore gaging system in the market.
This advanced gage provides the flexibility to measure in both inches and millimeters, catering to users working with diverse measurement standards. The menu-driven operator interface offers almost limitless customization, allowing users to tailor the display and functionality to their specific preferences. Selectable resolution options, ranging from 0.01/0.001/0.0001 mm (0.0001/0.00001/0.000001”), deliver exceptional precision for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the gage repeatability is +/-.00025 mm (+/- .000010”).
Accommodating various bore sizes, the PGE-6000 features a standard measuring range of 9.40 mm to 38.10 mm (.370” to 1.500”), which can be extended up to 74.30 mm (3.000”) with optional PG-250E Extension Fingers. Simple and quick calibration, along with an easy-to-follow setup menu, minimizes setup time and reduces the learning curve for new users.
The PGE-6000 Gage offers selectable scale settings (“Narrow”/“Wide”) to optimize display and measurement sensitivity for different applications, as well as single or multiple measurement options for diverse inspection needs. Batch or serial number modes facilitate organized data collection and traceability. Programmable operator-defined default settings allow users to customize the gage to their specific requirements, enhancing efficiency and saving time.
Measurement data is presented through a clear graphical and numerical value display, complemented by programmable visual limit indicators that simplify go/no-go decisions and minimize errors. Measurements are stored internally via the touch screen or optional foot pedal which eliminates potential errors with manual recording.
Portable with an external power supply, the PGE-6000 Gage offers flexibility across various locations. Stored measurement data can be exported via a flash-drive or a PC cable which enables seamless integration with SPC software and other data analysis tools. The data display provides valuable insights, including average, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values. Compatibility with PG-400/PG-500 setting fixtures simplifies gage diameter setting. Ring gages may also be used to set diameter. The reversible base extends the measuring range with different finger sizes on each side, further enhancing versatility.
The PGE-6000 Gage facilitates rapid data collection and analysis. Its proven floating reed system eliminates friction and wear, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance. Designed for ease of use and durability in everyday shop use, its rugged construction ensures longevity. The gage accurately checks I.D., measuring variations in diameter indicating taper, barrel, and bell mouth, even near ports, lands, and at the bottom of blind holes. Its intuitive design requires minimal training, guaranteeing accurate measurements irrespective of the operator’s skill level.
