Bowers Ultima Bore Gauge offers a choice of resolutions up to 0.0001mm. Featuring the NEW Bowers ‘FASTFIT’ measuring heads with extended measuring range (above 14mm), the Ultima boasts a simple lever operation and a constant measuring force, ensuring outstanding ease of use and repeatability under laboratory or shop-floor conditions.
Sets including Sylvac probe holder with probe, digital readout, measuring heads, setting rings and full UKAS-certification.
Ultima probe holders are also available for customers who already have digital readouts made by other manufacturers.
Bowers Cylinder Bore Gauges now include an easy to use digital variant, bringing the benefits of a clear digital display and data output to this dependable gauge. Speed and accuracy is further increased by the ability of the instrument’s advanced electronics to ‘freeze’ and display the diameter of the bore after ‘sweeping’.
Bowers Mechanical Cylinder Bore Gauges have been further improved giving even greater ease of use and reliability. The introduction of tungsten carbide contact points ensures superior wear resistance. Suitable for use in most environments, these gauges are particularly useful for detecting ovality, or taking measurements relatively deep inside bores.
The revolutionary Bowers Snapmic shares the best attributes of a high quality digital micrometer and a flexible snap gauge. Its wide application range, adjustable support platen and ingenious snap action enable the rapid and accurate measuring of a wide range of parts.
An adjustable support stand is available to aid the speed of batch part measurement.
As well as its many standard uses the flexible nature of the Bowers Snapmic allows it to be configured to suit a multitude of specialised external measuring applications, the gauge can be supplied with special anvils to facilitate the trouble-free measurement of threads, splines, grooves, etc. The optional sturdy Snapmic stand permits the rapid accurate measurement of batch parts.
The Bowers Snapmatic snap gauge has been designed specifically for quick, reliable and accurate measurement of external cylindrical diameters. Particularly suitable for use in series production, the instrument is tough and solid enough to use on the machine in the workshop and flexible enough to be used in the measuring room for sample measurements. The measuring surfaces are of top-quality tungsten carbide mounted on a no-maintenance spring-operated mechanism. Special anvils (e.g for grooves etc) can be fitted to the standard gauge by means of the mounting holes in the anvil.
The Bowers XT500 large diameter 3-point bore-gauge has been designed specifically for the measurement of internal diameters between 300 and 500 mm. The newly designed constant-force digital readout ensures that the measuring pressure remains constant throughout the measurement whilst radiussed measuring anvils provide optimum centralisation in the part. Anvil sets are supplied in 25 mm steps (300-325, 325-350 etc) and each set has been manufactured to the exact toleranced size. The 300-325mm anvils are the master reference set and are used for setting the gauge in the setting ring. The other anvil sets are then fitted as required without further re-setting. This means that only one 300mm setting ring is required to set the gauge for all diameters in the full 300-500mm range of the instrument.
Supplied with digital display unit, measuring head with exchangeable anvils and setting ring with UKAS certificate
The new MICROGAUGE 2-point bore-gauging system has been designed specifically for the measurement of small bores between 1.0 - 6.0 mm. Featuring a completely new digital readout and extremely compact overall dimensions, the MicroGauge is truly a pocket-sized instrument. Digital readout and measuring head together are about the same size and format as a ballpoint pen which represents a big advantage for those needing to measure small precision parts and who need to have their gauge with them all the time. The clear LCD display is easily set using only two buttons and results are shown with switchable 0.01/0.001/0.0005 mm resolution. Data transfer is via Proximity-RS232 or Proximity-USB output. The measuring heads are equipped with spherical hard-chromed contact points and are set in appropriate setting rings. Like all Bowers bore-gauging products the MICROGAUGE system is available as individual instruments or as full sets. All setting rings are supplied as standard with UKAS certification.
