P5K: Profile Metrology System

Revolutionize your metrology process with the Glebar P5K Gauging System – the fastest and most accurate solution for medical guidewire measurement. Scanning at a remarkable 16,000 diameter readings per second, the P5K delivers precise, high-quality data that ensures a high-quality product and drives efficiency. Advanced air bearings ensure longevity of the scanner head and eliminate mechanical interference typically associated with faster scans. In one operation, inspectors can easily scan multiple single parts or one long part by clamping the part in the fixture and in one mouse click begin scanning. The simple user interface allows inspectors to quickly determine product quality on the manufacturing floor. Extensive analysis data and traceability features comply with the strictest quality requirements. Plus, with the SQL version, data centralization is a breeze across multiple facilities. Common applications include medical guidewires, arthroscopic shavers, and fasteners.

MMT’s Glebar P5K Gauging System provides medical device and industrial manufacturers with the fastest and most precise scanning and profiling capabilities available for guidewire measurement and metrology processes.

The patented P5K system is fully automated, ensuring complete objectivity while measuring components up to 78 inches (2 meters) in length and 0.250 inches (6.35 mm) in diameter with complete accuracy and reliability.

The P5K measures an impressive 16,000 diameter readings per second, delivering 12x the data of any currently available gauging system (1). Plus, with its sit, stand, or sit/stand options, the P5K is the first in the industry to prioritize operator comfort, flexibility, and productivity.

The innovative P5K boosts throughput, provides invaluable predictive quality insights, and significantly minimizes scrap.

Time and cost efficiencies and achieved through:   

• The industry’s first 5-year extended limited warranty with special pricing through November 30, 2025.

• User-friendly, intuitive software, developed with the operator in mind, ensuring traceability with fully automated measurement to guarantee objectivity and reliable results with each scan.

• Four (4)x the data output while operating at 4x speed of the P4K, enhancing part quality and significantly improving manufacturing efficiencies. (Read the White Paper here!)

• Improved interface, allowing inspectors to quickly scan multiple parts with a click of a mouse to assess product quality on the manufacturing floor.

• Advanced air bearings, enhancing the longevity of the scanning head and eliminating mechanical interference, a common issue in faster scans.

• Extensive data analysis features, with optional SQL packages, complying with the strictest requirements and delivering flawless data centralization across multiple facilities.

• Increased speed, permitting operators to significantly improve in-process quality control (QC) with efficient returns to the grinder and boosting overall productivity.

• Reduced time required to establish new product recipes, accelerating deployment and minimizing training required for staff.

• More immediate insights into size compensation, providing feedback to Glebar Grinding Systems: CAM.2, GT-9AC, and GT-610 CNC.
