E2S, European Safety Systems: ACCURATE HEIGHT GAUGING

E2S, European Safety Systems: Selling its renowned products into every industrialised country, the worlds leading independent signalling manufacturer, E2S, European Safety Systems, specialises in the design, development and manufacture of a wide range of high performance electronic sounders, intelligent voice annunciators and flash alarms.

Specifically designed for use within the most onerous industrial environments, such as petrochemical plants, E2S’s Hazardous Area Ex flameproof products are manufactured to the most demanding of dimensional tolerances at its London based manufacturing facility. 

When recently tasked with procuring an accurate Height Gauge that would help speed-up the company’s high-volume of precision inspection routines, E2S Technical and Quality Manager Mike Shaw considered the available alternatives.  Following demonstrations from several leading gauge suppliers, Mike found the solution to his challenging technical requirements in an advanced Sylvac Z-cal height gauge, purchased from Bowers Metrology UK.
 
E2S’s new height gauge boasts a patented, motorised measuring system, giving probe travel speed proportional to the user’s finger pressure applied to the control buttons. Using rechargeable batteries, the Z cal’s ergonomic design and logical button layout, enables an extremely wide range of useful features to be accessed, including heights, internal/external diameters and centre-line distances. An RS232 output allows measured data to be downloaded to printers, data collectors, etc.

Mike Shaw enthused “The safety critical nature of many of our products means that we perform 100%, high-tolerance inspection on the crucial features located on machined castings. Used by several company personnel, our easy to operate Sylvac Z-cal has proven to be extremely useful for accurately measuring countless component features and helps us keep pace with the large volume of work passing through our busy Quality Control Department.“
