The Vertex VMS Digital Height Gauge Range
What is a Height Gauge
What is a height gauge? As the name suggests, it is a device for measuring the height of an object. Their roots can be traced back as far as 1631, when Pierre Vernier, a French scientist and mathematician, invented the “Vernier scale.” This gave mechanical engineers the ability to measure and manufacture with much greater precision than ever before. Vernier's system of dissimilar scales was the founding of precision measurement, and nearly 400 years later, we still use Vernier's principles.
A height gauge is typically used in conjunction with granite surface plates or tables such as those in our Crown Windley range. Granite surfaces are a must for accurate measurement as they provide a flat and stable surface for inspection.
The Digital Height Gauge
Digital height gauges can be split into three distinct groups.
The first group is relatively basic and has accuracy levels similar to those of mechanical height gauges. It typically uses an inch/metric scale along with floating and absolute zero.
The middle group of digital height gauges is effectively an upgrade on the first. They share all the features of the first group but have several additional settings, such as ID/OD measurement and probe compensation. Height gauges within this group will have far greater accuracy than those in the first.
The final group offers another big step up in accuracy and a host of additional features. You can expect a computer interface, air bearings, motorised probing operation and 1D and 2D measurement capability. The Vertex VMS Digital Height Gauge is a great example of how advanced devices in this group have become.
