Display Unit M1-M3 Air Gages
The M3 AG is a new generation of electronic for air gages. Thanks to its intuitive interface and its simplicity, the M3 will be immediately adopted by all operators. This display has different communication means, USB and RS232. This allows to drive the device and to read the measurements from a computer or a PLC. Its case, machined in a solid aluminum block offers to the M3 an unequalled robustness, even used in severe industrial environment (cutting oil etc...)
The M3 is the last generation of tool for dimensional control with an air gage : air ring, air plug gage, air fork etc.
The M3 is compatible with all the air gage brands available making possible to keep your current air gage and to use this modern and versatile display.
- 2 measurement configurations (2 dimensions)
- Different display modes with 1 or 2 dimensions per screen, with or without tolerances.
- Static and dynamic measurement (Min, Max, Max-Min, Average, Median)
- Control limits
- Sorting by classes (up to 16 classes)
- Connection of an optional box with 8 optocoupled inputs/outputs (MB-IO)
- Absolute or relative measurements
- Modbus RTU or ASCII communication
- USB keyboard function when the M3 is connected to a PC
- Automatic change of measurement configuration by buffer detection during use
- Integrated cone calculation
- Optional temperature monitoring and/or compensation
- Safe and easy to use
- Can be configured with a QR code scan, allowing a buffer change in a few seconds
- Very short stabilization time of the measurement
Many functions and operating modes can be defined:
- Nominal dimension, tolerance limits, control limits, standard dimension (reference part).
- Choice between 2 measurement configurations (2 dimensions)
- Calculation formula (C1, C2, -C1, -C2, C1+C2, C1-C2, -C1+C2, -C1-C2, 3-point diameter)
- Calibration
- Static or dynamic measurements (Min, Max, Max-Min, Average and Median)
- Relative or absolute mode
- Single or multi-range display mode (2 bar graphs) with or without tolerances
- Sorting by classes, up to 16 classes
- Locking of some functions with masking of buttons for a maximum simplified user interface
- Display resolution (2 to 5 decimal places)
- Metric (mm or µm) or inch measurements
- M-Bus connector to connect a box with 8 optocoupled inputs/outputs (good part, bad part, calibration etc...)
- Automatic dimension change by detection of sensor movements
- Choice of language for the user interface
The M3 is equipped with a mini-USB connector with 2 functions
1. Power supply via a supplied wall transformer.
2. Measurement transmission: When the M3 is connected in USB to a PC, it is detected as a keyboard with the standard drivers of your operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux...). When you transfer measurements from the M3, they appear on your computer screen as if they had been entered on the keyboard. No need to install any specific driver or software.
Advantages of this feature:
- No risk of error when entering values
- Saves time
- Works everywhere on all software: Excel, SAP, Word....
- No need for a driver, interface software or computer knowledge: you just plug in the display and you can work
