Precision Wireless Electronic Depth Gauges



The L.S. Starrett Company offers three Wireless Electronic Depth Gauges, including the W640JZ, W643JZ and W644JZ, which are made in the USA, part of a line of over 40 new electronic precision gauges that Starrett recently introduced to the market. The depth gauges feature a digital readout that can be viewed on a large easy-to-read LCD display, and offer automated wireless measurement data collection when integrated with data acquisition applications such as Starrett DataSure 4.0 software.

Tim Cucchi, Continuous Improvement Manager for Assembly, The L.S. Starrett Co., said, "The new wireless depth gauges are convenient and fast, with no wires to contend with. Together with DataSure 4.0, measurement data can automatically be collected by the touch of a button. An embedded radio in the wireless depth gauge allows data to be transmitted up to thirty feet, or up to hundreds of yards by adding a backpack."

The W643JZ depth gauge features a knife edge base and a needle point contact that has been hardened and ground. The conical point, which is 1/2" long with a 40° angle, can be precisely positioned for close work due to a cutout on the knife base. All three of the new Starrett wireless electronic depth gauges are accurate to +/-.001"/ 0.03 mm and have a 0.0005"/0.01 mm resolution. Measurement ranges for each of the gauges are as follows: the W640JZ offers a range of 0-.500" (0-13 mm), the W643JZ offers a range of 0-.125" (0-3 mm) and the W644JZ offers a range of 0-3" (0-75 mm).

All gauges feature positive, tactile-feel button activation as well as a long battery life, which is also rechargeable, origin set and zero set, and automatic shutoff after 20 minutes of inactivity.
