P5K: Profile Metrology System

New Product!

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.
