Technical Specification
The Vertex VMS range of digital height gauges supports both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) measurements. Some of the key capabilities for 1D measurement are outlined below;
• Comprehensive measurement of heights, drops, internal and external diameters, TDC (Top Dead Centre), BDC (Bottom Dead Centre), internal gap, external gap and centre-to-centre measurement
• Multiple datum facility, up to 8 assignable datums
• Comprehensive probe qualification
• Squareness measurements from the front and side of the surface
• Scribing facility for layout work
• Print function for ‘ALL’ or ‘SELECTED’ output
• The Vertex VMS performs all functions as fully autonomous routines with no pipes or trailing wires. If communication is needed with peripheral devices, such as a printer or network, this is achieved through the RS-232C
2D Measurement
The Vertex range of digital height gauges also offers 2D measurement to supplement its extensive 1D functionality, featuring a powerful onboard processor firmware. 2D Capabilities Include;
• Rectangular and polar coordinates
• Alignment of features
• PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) measurement
Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
The programmable 3-axis ECU is reminiscent of a “hole in the wall” display. The viewing area is kept clear apart from the key information being displayed. An ‘orbital keypad’ as the description implies is active around the viewing area offering the user an intuitive aspect with regard to software commands.
The viewing screen is produced from a clear, robust polycarbonate material. The tactile keyboard indicates to the user that a command has been made.
Ergonomic design provides a platform for accessing the multifunctional application software.
