About
LSIZE Wireless
The
wireless technology that is used by LSIZE Wireless was developed by MicroRidge
and has been shipping to general manufacturing facilities since October 2006.
When the MicroPak data collector (released in 1990) was discontinued in March 2009, the decision was made to
bring the wireless technology to LSIZE.
When collecting measurements, place the LSIZE Handheld in a convenient location in your measurement collection area (you will need it close by when you need to change bins) and then take measurements using the LSIZE Mobile Module attached to our gage. The Handheld receives the wireless measurements from the LSIZE Mobile Module and sends a measurement received acknowledgement back to the Mobile Module. With the large color screen on the Handheld, you can see the shape chart automatically building as you take the measurements. You can also view stats, histograms, and control charts on the Handheld. Depending upon which Setup & Reporting Option you purchase, you can print reports using the LSIZE Mobile Quick Print or download your measurements into LSIZE Software for PC by placing the Handheld into the Docking Station at your computer.
The LSIZE Handheld is a ruggedized unit designed for industrial environments that wirelessly receives measurements from the Mobile Module. The Handheld features a large color touch screen and contains the software and firmware designed and developed by MicroRidge.
The LSIZE Mobile Module provides the wireless link between your gage and the Handheld. The Mobile Module fits conveniently on the back of your gage and provides user feedback via highly visible LEDs.
The Docking Station provides the communications link between the Handheld and one of the two Setup & Reporting Options on your PC . The Docking Station is located at your computer. When you are ready to print reports using the Wireless Quick Print utility or to download your measurements into LSIZE Software for PC, place the Handheld into the docking station at your computer. The Docking Station also charges the Handheld.
Note: LSIZE Wireless can be used with any Mitutoyo gage (calipers, micrometers, digital indicators, etc.) that has SPC output.
