ELECTRONIC BORE GAGES

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced two new Bluetooth enabled series of electronic digital bore gages with a range of accuracy and convenience features for increasing measurement throughput when inspecting internal hole dimensions. The 781BXT AccuBore Electronic Bore Gages are a trigger-operated gaging system, and the 770BXT Electronic Bore Gages, operated via thimble rotation, feature IP67 protection against dirt and coolant, making them ideal in harsh machining environments. Bluetooth wireless technology in both bore gage series enables fast, robust measurement data acquisition capabilities without the encumbrances and limitations of cables. Wireless technology also provides an ideal platform for manufacturers bracing to meet the comprehensive big data requirements of Industry 4.0. Both the 781BXT and 770BXT Bore Gage Series feature enhanced wear life due to carbide-faced measuring contacts that are available on sizes above ½" (12.5mm), resolution of .00005" (0.001mm), and accuracy of up to .00015" (0.004mm). Gages also feature push button inch/ metric conversion. Wireless output capability for SPC analysis is available via USB to a PC or RS232 connection.
