Protomar Mini

The versatility of the Protomar Mini is proven through its application in multi-diameter machines, such as grinders for broaches or turbine blades. What sets it apart from conventional measurement systems is its ability to eliminate the setup and zeroing procedure on a master workpiece for the various diameters across its measuring range. Protomar Mini provides absolute measurements across its 100mm measuring range, eliminating the need or retooling when changing diameters. Operators can achieve exceptional measurement performance with 2.5μm repeatability, ensuring uninterrupted productivity and significant reductions in setup time.
