Abstract: An In-Process Diameter Gage comprises a Position Detection Subsystem, preferably an optical switch and trigger, a Dimension Measurement Subsystem, preferably comprising a wheel of known diameter and a rotation encoder, and a Data Processing Subsystem, all configured and arranged to determine a dimensional property of a rotating part, such as diameter.

Abstract: A method system of reducing operator-induced error in measurements comprises a measurement tool, such as a diameter gage, that is configured to communicate electrical signals representative of measurements to a computing device, which is configured to receive the signals and to determine a value for the measurement without the operator having to interact with the tool to zero the gage, acquire the data or transmit the data.

Abstract: A metrological instrument configured to measure diameters comprises one or more guide rails, a plurality of clamping blocks configured to removably or releaslably securely locate the blocks on the one or more guide rails, and also configured to removably or releaslably securely clamp a measurement arm substantially normal to the one or more guide rails. A displacement transducer, such as a dial indicator or a digital indicator, may be disposed at an end of one or more of the measurement arms for determining a displacement, relative or absolute, between the measurement arms. To provide the required measurement accuracy, precision, and repeatability, the instrument may be configured with carbon fiber reinforced composite guide rails, and/or measurement arms.
