The document demonstrates MicroComp, a micro-computer gaging system from Albion Devices. It has a compact size and can be used as a gage amplifier, temperature compensated gaging system, or to compensate other gages. It has an easy-to-use interface and menu system for setup, calibration, feature configuration, and temperature compensation. MicroComp provides highly accurate dimensional measurement on the shop floor.

1. Demonstration of MicroComp micro-computer gaging system from Albion Devices, Inc.

2. MicroComp is a micro-computer gaging system. When fitted to a gage fixture it can be the most accurate and repeatable dimensional measuring instrument on the shop floor.

3. Overview of MicroComp display and controls “ Hard” keys. Used to move selection when in a menu. Analog “Scale” (one of two display options). Digital dimensional display. Information window. W = Work temperature G = Gage temperature M = Master temperature. “ Soft” keys. Function is determined by box immediately above on LCD. LCD Display. Select “Soft” key. Doubles as “Enter” key in some screens.

7. Operating Mode # 1 a MicroComp as Gage Amplifier In this mode MicroComp is used as an indicator to read and display dimensional gaging results using LVDT or similar input devices. It can be used with a single LVDT….

8. Operating Mode # 1 b MicroComp as Gage Amplifier - 2 LVDTs … .or with 2 LVDTs in A+B or A-B configuration.

9. Operating Mode # 2 MicroComp as Temperature compensated gaging system With the addition of temperature sensors, MicroComp can automatically compensate for the largest cause of gaging error - temperature.

10. Operating Mode # 3 MicroComp as Temperature compensation system MicroComp can be configured to automatically temperature compensate other gages, even gages from other manufacturers.
