Caliper with plug-and
play connectivity
Hexagon Metrology has launched its
Tesa Twin-Cal IP67 caliper, a user-friendly
digital hand tool with an innovative
built-in output connection. The electronic
measuring tool is IP67 compliant, with
its main components encapsulated and
protected from shop floor contaminants
such as dust, oil and coolants.
The adaptable and upgradable calipers
can be used wirelessly or with a cable
using the new plug-and-play TLC (Tesa
Link Connector). The TLC allows the
user to send measured data from the
instrument to the computer via USB,
TWIN (Tesa Wireless Interface, available
Q1, 2013) or Digimatic option. The USB
cable connection allows the caliper to be
directly connected to a computer.
The wireless module is integrated in the
battery cap and enables the operator to
retrieve data for optimal SPC monitoring.
Digimatic output is a cabled connection
that allows Tesa instruments to work with
any competitor’s interface.
Suitable for applications in the metrology
laboratory or on the production floor, the
caliper can be used in combination with
mechanical instruments or stationary
machines.
Established in 1941, Tesa SA manufactures
and markets more than 5,000 dimensional
metrology products, ranging from
high-precision handheld tools to
sophisticated measuring systems.
CMM products and vision systems for
non-contact measurement are also
included. Most of the range is produced
under the “Swiss Made” label.
A worldwide direct sales and distribution
network is a major asset of the Swiss
company whose primary sectors are the
automotive, aerospace, watch-making,
medical and metal processing industries.
Tesa is part of Hexagon Metrology,
which offers a comprehensive range of
products and services for all industrial
metrology applications in sectors such
as automotive, aerospace, energy and
medical.
