Grinding machines often produce parts that drift out of tolerance during a run. When dimensions change, you lose material, waste time, and risk customer complaints. The Marposs P3ME Electronic Gauge gives you live dimensional data, so you can keep the process inside the required limits without stopping the machine.
Marposs P3ME Electronic Gauge for Grinding Machine Dimensional Control with Marposs
Stop guessing and start measuring every cut. The Marposs P3ME Electronic Gauge for Grinding Machine Dimensional Control is a compact electronic unit that connects to Marposs measuring heads and to the grinders control system. It reads the workpiece size in real time, shows the value on an analog meter and an 8-character digital display, and can trigger automatic corrections. Users who struggle with scrap parts, long set-up times, or unpredictable wheel wear will find this gauge essential. With Marposs technology you get reliable data, automatic wheel wear compensation, and seamless PLC integration.
