(Albion Devices Inc.: Solana Beach, CA) -- Albion Devices Inc., an engineering firm specializing in precision measurement instrumentation, recently introduced its new, inexpensive Fireball USB interfaced digital linear-measurement probe.

Fireball digital probes are the lowest cost, easiest-to-use digital gauging probe available. Plug one or more into PC USB ports and connect to Albion’s free DigiGage for Fireball gauging software for an instant gauging system. You can also output to other software, such as an SPC or preferred gauging program, on your PC.

Fireball brings plug-and-play digital measurement probe USB connectivity without the clutter of power supplies and miscellaneous interfacing boxes to the industrial gauging workplace, with the resulting benefits of ease-of-use and considerably reduced expense.

Now digital measurement probes are available at prices comparable to LVDTs and half-bridge transducers, with the benefits of longer-range linearity, less need for regular calibration, and a single master rather than min and max masters.

Fireball digital probe highlights include:

• Low-cost precision digital measurement

• Measurement range: 1 mm (0.04 in.)
