MarCal 16 EWRi Mahr's integrated wireless calipers are useful for tasks, including quality-assurance and process-control applications, in which measurements must be recorded. Data collected by the calipers can be archived and used for tracking and improving operator throughput.
What's new? Software for the device, which now runs on MarCom Professional 5.0.
Benefits Convenience, due to the calipers' wireless capabilities. With MarCom Professional 5.0, the gauges can easily transfer data to a PC or virtual interface, making documentation a seamless part of the measuring process. Because they eliminate the need for add-on transmitters, the calipers reduce expenses. Compared to devices with add-on transmitters, they're also more ergonomic. Caliper users can quickly and easily create multiple data-collection stations — an option that can be cost-prohibitive when using add-on transmitters. In addition, the integration of transmitters into the calipers' electronics makes the units more energy efficient — extending battery life by up to 50 percent.
