Gauging System Delivers 16000 Readings/Second for Long Component Measurement
Medical Manufacturing Technologies (MMT), has announced the launch of the patented Glebar P5K Gauging System. Offering the fastest and most precise scanning and profiling capabilities available, combined with unparalleled ergonomic flexibility for operators, the P5K is poised to revolutionize guidewire measurement and metrology processes for medical device and industrial markets worldwide.
Recent advancements in the medical, aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors, including the creation of more sophisticated and smaller machined components, presents the growing challenge for manufacturers to achieve fully automated parts measurement to ensure patient and end-user safety and performance. While the P5K was originally developed to meet the exacting requirements of medical guidewire measurement, the innovative P5K technology accurately measures long, slender components, translating to improved manufacturing outcomes for a multitude of industries.
With the ability to scan and profile components up to 2 meters (78”) in length and 6.35 mm (0.250”) in diameter, the P5K measures at an impressive speed of 16,000 diameter readings per second. The P5K delivers 12 times the measurement of any currently available gauging system on the market1 and provides the first available sit, stand, or sit/stand option, prioritizing operator comfort, flexibility, and productivity.
“The launch of the P5K comes at a pivotal time when manufacturers are seeking solutions that deliver not just speed but also reliability and predictability,” comments Trent Steckler, Vice President of New Product Development at MMT. “Use of the P5K for guidewire and industrial parts measurement ultimately translates to significant time and cost savings achieved via increased throughput, predictive quality insights, and reduced scrap” Steckler concludeds.
