Pratt & Whitney offer most Accurate, Direct-reading, Horizontal ID/OD Measuring Instrument in the World

The laser-based Labmaster Universal has been developed by Pratt & Whitney for gage calibration laboratories that need to precisely measure length, outside diameter, inside diameter, pitch diameter, linear displacement, and thickness. The Labmaster Universal is capable of measuring gage blocks, end standards, plain rings, threaded rings & plugs, pin & plug gages, tapered plugs, cylindrical setting gages, ball bearings, micrometers, indicators, LVDTs, calipers, and snap gages with instrument uncertainty to 2 millionths of an inch (0.05 micron). It is suitable for virtually all ID and OD applications through its wide 0.020-inch (0.5 mm) to 14-inches (356 mm) measuring range.

High accuracy is maintained by its laser interferometer, zero Abbe offset design, and large measuring table with center position, pitch, and yaw controls. The computer-controlled precision air bearing slide and gaging fingers remove operator-influenced errors commonly observed with traditional gaging methods by maintaining constant force. It also greatly minimizes ‘wear and tear' to both the measuring standards and the instrument.

The GageCal gage management software controls the operation of the Labmaster Universal and facilitates data collection. Dimensional data can be transferred to Word, Excel, or your favorite spreadsheet for creating a calibration certificate.

Pratt & Whitney designs, manufactures, and services dimensional metrology systems used in gage calibration laboratories throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
