Marposs Corp. introduces the i-Wave, its newest wireless device in the M1 Star bore gauge product line. The i-Wave wireless handle allows quick and easy “plug-and-play” changeover of a variety of mechanical gauge heads without any tools. The handle features the innovative StarLock locking device, a mechanical interface that allows connecting new & existing gauges to the world of wireless gauging.

The i-Wave handle with StarLock can accommodate any mechanical gauge head featuring standard M10, M6 or M3,5 thread (M12,5 is available, as well as any other size upon request). These include:

• Marposs M1Star MBG bore plugs, as well as competitors’ bore plugs with the same thread standards;
• Marposs M3Star snap heads and rings;
• Depth gauges;
• Sweep Gauges;
• Gauges for chamfers, spot-facings, countersinks.

The i-Wave wireless interface unit has been specifically developed to work in the most severe shop floor conditions. Its rugged design guarantees a very high level of protection against coolants and dust. Standard alkaline “C” batteries allow over 220 continuous hours working time. Battery life can be further increased by using the programmable auto-shutdown feature, extending use by several months in normal operating conditions. A contactless, inductive recharging system is available that immediately recharges after each use or work session, therefore eliminating the need to disconnect the power pack or plug something in to energize the battery. By simply pushing the button on the I-Wave handle, the device communicates in real time with the electronic display, showing the acquired value. The measuring value is transmitted to the electronic unit via Bluetooth® wireless technology, safely and reliably to a maximum 10m distance. The same button is also used to accomplish simple step functions or the control of more advanced cycles and guided sequences.

The i-Wave communicates wirelessly to all Bluetooth enabled Marposs electronic displays and measurement units, such as Merlin and E9066 gauge computers and the E4N Wave electronic column. Communication software developed by Marposs is also available to allow connection of the i-Wave unit to commercial computers.
