Today, modern digital gages have underused capabilities that allow for even greater ease of use and accessibility for all users.

Digital gaging, or the software and hardware used to take and process digital measurements, has grown considerably in the past 20 years. It has also come a long way when it comes to advancing quality.  

Digitalization has changed our world as the internet and modern technology continue to shape the manufacturing industry. For example, the vision of Industry 4.0 shows that production systems and machines are required to be flexible and adapt with continuously changing manufactured products. That means production will be more individualized, flexible, and faster. 

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced a series of Motorized Digital Test Frames for performing a wide range of basic, high volume in-situ lean manufacturing force testing applications including tension, compression, flexural cyclic, shear and friction.

Whether you’re talking about measurement checks in the quality room or a quick, accurate check on the shop floor, height gages remain one of the most useful tools in metrology today. 

Morehouse Instrument Company has introduced new types of Digital Force Gauges. 

Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing organization has launched the new wireless DRX-Plus high resolution digital DR detector that provides exceptional image quality, optimum portability and improved workflow for use in many NDT mobile and lab inspection applications.

Mitutoyo’s QM-Height digital height gages line offers high accuracy measurements of 4.5microns and high resolution linear encoders for position detection.

Easy-to-use menus in eight languages make programming simple. The electro luminescent EL display shows force value, unit, and peak, and can be programmed with user-selectable data.
