Bowers Metrology has launched the Sylvac Hi Gage One range of shopfloor proof, digital height gauges.

Available in 400mm and 600mm capacities, the new gauges are water and coolant resistant and designed to provide high levels of accuracy and repeatability throughout extended use. The range’s ergonomic design, quick release handle and fast measuring carriage displacement capability allows for easy use.

Through the use of Sylvac’s electronic system, a configurable menu and simple three button operation, a range of simple and intuitive functions is available to the operator. The Hi Gage One range also features large 9.6mm digit, high resolution LCD readouts for displaying results, enabling the gauges to be used in less than ideal lighting conditions.

To help extend battery life, the height gauges enter a sleep mode following 20 minutes of inactivity. A wake-up mode is automatically activated by renewed use, whilst the previous scale position is recalled on the instrument’s digital display.

If required the gauges are able to download all readings via built-in USB/RS232 outputs, whilst an optional plug-in module enables the convenient transfer of measurements in wireless mode.
