Ashcroft’s Model K dual sensor thermometer combines two independent temperature sensing devices into a single instrument. For local indication, a silicone-dampened mechanical ANSI/IEC/EN classified bimetal system drives the pointer over an 80-, 100-, 130-, or 150-mm diameter dial. The choice of a stem from 90mm to 2000 mm also contains a type K thermocouple to…

Push-button simple gaging
According to the vendor, the Equator™ is a radical alternative to traditional dedicated gaging. The design, unique in construction and method of operation, is for high-speed comparative gaging for inspection of high-volume manufactured parts. The gage can switch between parts in seconds, for flexible manufacturing processes or accepting parts from multiple machines. It has been…
Thread Inspection Tool Eliminates Operator Fatigue
Manual inspection of treads on parts is inefficient and often inaccurate. Recently, the Van Wert, Ohio division of Eaton Corp., had a project that required 100% inspection, forcing the Eaton team to consider their options. The end product was a hose assembly with end fittings. Standard operation meant that quality inspection personnel would have to…
One Part Radiator Sight Gages
Sight gages show coolant level without having to uncap and check the level or use a dipstick. With a threaded base, the single component gage locks tightly into position and is less prone to leakage. These Polyetherimide (PEI) sight gages have strong hydrolytic and UV stability as well as radiation resistance. PEI is inherently flame…
