    New Gauge System with Advanced Hardware:

    • Granite Table for Thermal Stability, Rigidity and Flatness of Mounting Platform.
    • The current system available in today’s gauges use the same Laser Mike Head with a high speed encoder input option on the Intellipak. The linear data points are now collected with a 0.1 micron Linear Servo Motor Table and Gemini Servo Motor Drive.
    • High Speed Parker Linear Motor with a 0.1 micron resolution built in encoder for high accuracy length measurements.
    • Dual Monitor displays part print and gauge information.
    • Bar Code Reading from operator ID badge or shop floor paperwork to speed transition to next operator.

    New Gauge System Has Many User Friendly Features:

    Over the entire history of our Laser Wire Profile Measurement Gauge, we have developed many useful variations to how the data point analysis is managed. We now offer all of these features password protected and available within each wire recipe.

    • Excel compatible measurement summary files, i.e. Minitab.
    • Upload recipe and database files to any "disc like" storage device, i.e. USB Stick.
    • Bar Code Scanning option.
    • Gauge and Go, no need for operator to pick intersections or "find" gauge points
    • Enhanced settable linear velocities for more data-points in critical areas
    • Multiple layers of Password Protected Screens
    • Multiple Gauge Point Setting
    • Set hours until Calibration with advance warning and Lock Out
    • Linear Motor Utilities for Length Calibration

    This Wire Profile Measurement Gauge can be networked to your office computer to retrieve and evaluate database information from a remote supervisor computer.

Royal Master Grinders has introduced an updated Gauging system with not only a new robust appearance, but more software enhancements.

Our engineering team have mounted our .1 micron linear motor onto a surface plate with flatness qualities of .0002" over 60" in its length. This enables you to move the system from place to place without the need to re-validate the system. The tube steel from gives the granite the rigidity that it deserves and that can maintain its integredity.

Partnering with Beta Lasermike, they have been providing us with a Lasermike that has a superior accuracy capabilities, while being able to gauge down to .0008" in diameter, smaller than any other system.

Royal Master has done many gauge R&R evaluations and are proud to share them with you. Let us know if you want a copy of them e-mailed to you

For software platform we use Windows XP as a base. The features that have been incorporated into the system have been driven by users. Our flexible programmers have integrated over 100 different features into these systems over the 12 year history of this system.


Laser Head

Diameter Range: .0008" to .250 ( .202 - 6.35mm )
Resolution: .000004" ( .00010mm )
Accuracy: .00001" ( .00025mm )
Repeatability: +/- .000005" ( +/- .00013mm )
Scans per Second:2000

Linear Motor

Resolution: .000004" ( .1 micron )
Repeatability: through the Linear Motor using motor counts as verification +/- .000004"
Repeatability as verified by a laser interferometer: .0001 over 35" through Gauge Software (This is done by a gauge repeatability Study over 1000 cycles )

Some of our newer software features include:

  • Bar Code Reading and employee badge scanning for easy profile recall
  • Moveable Datum Points
  • Adjustment limits feature
  • Point to point dimensioning

  • "Gauging by the "envelope method"

  • Automatic Corner Picking with Pass, Pass / Adjust, or Fail Flagging

  • Faster system without losing accuracy
  • Measurement summary report, both printable and exportable to excel. Import data into any SPC tool desired
  • Export directly into Minitab if desired
  • Settable linear velocities for more data in critical areas

  • Password protected screens
  • Gauge and go, no need for operator to determine if wire passes or fails inspection
  • Operators do not determine if wire passes or fails inspection by picking what they feel is the intersection
  • Linking of your profile to your products
  • Opening and closing of your lots
  • Multiple gauge point settings
  • Set hours to calibration. System will lock out any further gauging until calibrated
  • Linear motor utilities for length calibration
  • Manual mode for quick wire referencing
  • Zoom in over 2000 times actual wire size
