Pratt & Whitney
SUPERMICROMETER™ PC
New PC Supermicrometer™ Now Available – 1 millionth resolution
June 10, 2009 - Pratt & Whitney begins shipment of their new External
Supermicrometer™ PC for gage calibration laboratories. This new bench micrometer is
capable of performing OD calibrations from 0 to 40 inches [1 meter]. Its versatility
provides improved, cost effective, in-house gage control capabilities to users in a wide
range of industries.
The Supermicrometer PC includes a desktop or laptop computer and Pratt & Whitney’s
proprietary GageCal™ automatic tolerance software. This Windows® based software
automatically enters tolerances for plug gages, pin gages, ball bearings, and straight/taper
threads. Additional software features includes calculation of pitch and major diameters of
standard thread forms and flags out of tolerance conditions. Certificate of calibrations can
easily be saved and printed.
Being able to provide a complete turnkey system, the Supermicrometer PC allows
companies to cost justify calibrating gages in-house that were previously done by outside
services. This not only provides a faster turnaround on calibrations, it also allows for more
control over calibration standards.
Pratt & Whitney will showcase their new Supermicrometer PC measuring instrument at the
upcoming NCSL and Quality Expo trade shows. Pratt & Whitney designs, manufactures,
and services dimensional metrology systems used in gage calibration laboratories
throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
