(ABTech: Swansey, NH) -- ABTech Inc., a precision air-bearing metrology gauge manufacturer has introduced the air bearing-based μicroForm Gage model μFG150. This compact gauge is designed around an air-bearing rotary axis with microinch (nanometer) accuracy, ensuring precise, repeatable measurements and years of maintenance-free operation. All thermal and vibration sources that commonly contribute to measurement errors have been purposefully isolated from the part being measured. State-of-the-art electronics provide nearly instantaneous results and field-programmable flexibility for system updates.

ABTech developed proprietary μicroForm software that simplifies operation for shop floor use, yet offers full analysis capabilities for quality control labs. On-screen, step-by-step instructions are available to assist novice operators with proper setup and measurement without hindering the efficiency of more experienced users. Intuitive navigation through the touch-screen-activated color monitor easily triggers the most complex of ASTM internationally accepted algorithms.
