Product Description |
The Nano-Gauge™ is an ultra high precision, single
axis, displacement measuring instrument capable of
resolving dimensions down to 1.5 nanometers (0.06
microinches) over a full scale range of 25mm (1 inch).
Combining ease-of-use and small physical size, the
Nano-Gauge™ can be quickly adapted to a wide variety
of precision measurement situations without lengthy
or complex setup procedures. A standard USB “Plug
& Play” digital interface connects the Nano-Gauge™
controller to a PC for a real-time display of measurement
values. Laptop PC’s with USB ports can be used
to bring the Nano-Gauge™ into the field for on-site
measurements. An on-screen zeroing button provides
a simple means to accomplish relative measurements
and makes the Nano-Gauge™ as easy to use as standard
machinist’s digital calipers. A displayed “up/down” measurement rate selector determines the data acquisition
time spacing. Measurement rates range from 50
ms/data value to 1 minute/data value. Available probe
tips include hardened steel, sapphire, and silicon nitride
balls. Probes can also be provided with threaded holes for
direct connection to moving components or customized
for specific applications. The pictured Nano-Gauge™
mounting is designed to fit standard optical table breadboards
- custom mounting for unique applications may
be specified. Probe tip loading is user adjustable via
internal springs. Probe loading may be eliminated by use
of magnetically coupled steel tipped probes. The extreme
precision and resolution of the Nano-Gauge™ makes it
ideal for transducer design and calibration, development
of nanoindentation systems, and materials testing. |
