Metrology readout for gauging probes

Solartron Metrology has announced the SI 7500 digital readout, which interfaces with Solartron's gauging probes using the proprietary Orbit digital network, without the need for an RS232 adaptor.

Solartron Metrology, provider of displacement and gauging transducers, has launched the SI 7500 digital readout, which interfaces with Solartron's gauging probes using the proprietary Orbit digital network, without the need for an RS232 adaptor.

The SI 7500 is a multi-channel metrology data logger and display that accepts up to sixteen digital inputs.

The unit features a highly visible, intuitive and familiar interface with standard colour cues, instantly informing operators of pass/fail performance details for critical part dimensions; this is supported with helpful audio prompts and user-defined formulae.

The SI 7500 also reports dynamic Min/Max measurements, provides SPC analysis from an integrated database and includes connectivity to PCs and other peripherals.

Its 16 channel capacity can handle up to 100 parts enabling it to store, retrieve and manage enormous amounts of measurement data on the shop floor.

A Note on the Orbit Network: Solartron Metrology's Digital Products and the Orbit Network combine to provide a complete dimensional measurement and data acquisition system.

In addition to interfacing Solartron's own products, the Orbit Network can also host a variety of third party sensors.

Orbit is comprised of controllers and modules; these are used to perform measurements as well as some control functions.

The modules and controllers can be networked together to form a highly versatile plug and go measurement system.

Each module is identifiable through a unique address to simplify the data acquisition task especially in large multi-channel networks.

Orbit can be hosted in a PC using the Orbit network card or the USB interface module, it can also be connected to a via the RS232 Interface Module.
