The Detector in-machine gage probe for measuring ODs from 1.375" to 2.750" (35 mm to 70 mm) complements the manufacturer's, SPC Innovations', line of automatic gage probes with the DF-040 probe, which measures ODs from 0" to 1.5" (0 mm to 40 mm).
The new probe is plug-in compatible with existing Detector gage controller/amplifiers such as the PC2003M/B and the PC300. Keeping the important features of the existing Detector, the new probe may be used to measure diameters "on the fly" during indexing errors on multi-spindle automatics. The probe is designed to operate inside the machine with coolant and chips. Many parts of the probe are common with existing gage probes.
