This gage measures width, length, and height of food trays.

Full part length contacts ensure the correct dimensions for
every measured parameter.
The gage employs a system of pneumatics to withdraw Special GaGinG
probes for quick, easy loading and unloading of trays.

A steel master is used to replicate a perfect part. The
electronic indicators are then set to their mean values.
The result is a reliable and accurate system with fast
throughput to measure a specialized, complex part.

MeAsureMent of tHe InterfAce of A
coffee cup And lId
Most of us have heard the story – a large fast food chain
is sued because the lid came off of a Styrofoam coffee cup
and scalded a customer. The company lost the suit and the
word went down to find a way to make sure that the lid
stays on and the cup does not leak – a specialized, difficult
measurement that required a custom solution.

The hand held gage pictured provides the perfect solution
to this application. The cup and lid are both measured with
the same gage, with a simple sensor change to go from
one to the other.
Each are measured to within ±.001".
The result is a reliable and accurate system that keeps the lid
on the cup and prevents leaks. The fast food customer is safe
from hot coffee and our customer is safe from costly lawsuits.
