Bore Gauging System for High-Precision Measurement Needs



Sunnen Products Company offers the PGE-6000 Gage, a bore gauging system that redefines accuracy, versatility and efficiency in dimensional measurement.

"The PGE-6000 Gage surpasses traditional mechanical gages with its Electronically Amplified Comparative System, offering unparalleled accuracy, reliability, versatility, simplicity and economy," said a company spokesperson. "Its proven PG gauge mechanical design, coupled with sophisticated electronics, positions it as the most adaptable bore gauging system in the market."

This advanced gauge provides the flexibility to measure in inches and millimeters, catering to users working with diverse measurement standards. The menu-driven operator interface offers almost limitless customization, allowing users to tailor the display and functionality to their specific preferences. Selectable resolution options, ranging from 0.01/0.001/0.0001 mm (0.0001/0.00001/0.000001"), offer increased precision for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the gauge repeatability is +/-.00025 mm (+/-.000010").

Accommodating various bore sizes, the PGE-6000 features a standard measuring range of 9.40 mm to 38.10 mm (.370" to 1.500"), which can be extended up to 74.30 mm (3.000") with optional PG-250E Extension Fingers. Simple and quick calibration, along with an easy-to-follow set-up menu, minimizes set-up time and reduces the learning curve for new users.

The PGE-6000 Gage offers selectable scale settings ("Narrow"/"Wide") to optimize display and measurement sensitivity for different applications, as well as single or multiple measurement options for diverse inspection needs. Batch or serial number modes facilitate organized data collection and traceability. Programmable operator-defined default settings allow users to customize the gauge to their specific requirements, enhancing efficiency and saving time.

Measurement data is presented through a clear graphical and numerical value display, complemented by programmable visual limit indicators that simplify go/no-go decisions and minimize errors. Measurements are stored internally via the touchscreen or optional foot pedal, which eliminates potential errors with manual recording.

Portable with an external power supply, the PGE-6000 Gage offers flexibility across various locations. Stored measurement data can be exported via a flash-drive or a PC cable, which enables seamless integration with SPC software and other data analysis tools. The data display provides valuable insights, including average, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values. Compatibility with PG-400/PG-500 setting fixtures simplifies gauge diameter setting. Ring gauges may also be used to set diameter. The reversible base extends the measuring range with different finger sizes on each side, further enhancing versatility.

The PGE-6000 Gage facilitates rapid data collection and analysis. Its floating reed system is designed to eliminate friction and wear, offering long-term reliability and consistent performance. Designed for ease of use and durability in everyday shop use, its rugged construction offers longevity. The gauge accurately checks I.D., measuring variations in diameter indicating taper, barrel and bell mouth, even near ports, lands and at the bottom of blind holes. Its intuitive design requires minimal training.
