Easy-to-use measuring system

Mahr Federal Inc. has developed a portable measurement gage that the company says can be used to determine roundness, flatness, concentricity and axial run-out on the shop floor. The company says its MMQ 100 is versatile and easy to setup and operate to obtain high-precision measurements. The measuring instruments weigh about 62 pounds and can measure parts as large as 14 inches in diameter and 18.5-inches high. They are equipped with Dell Optiplex computers with wireless keyboards and run on Windows or Windows XP operating systems, and they use Mahr EasyForm Touchscreen software. www.mahr.com
