DMS 5000

 

DMS 5000: Long Standoff Non-Contact Distance Gage

          Up to 24 inch standoff

          1 (one) 30mm diameter gage head per measurement

The DMS 5000 is a non-contacting, ultrasonic precision distance measurement system capable of accuracies of 0.001" or better. It is intended for hostile environments as a stand alone system or with a computer or PLC. Options are available for analog output, automatic recalibration to a reference surface, Measuremate software and numerous software options. Options allow the gage to be used in hybrid distance applications including, runout, straightness, fill level, blind hole depth, counting, thickness, flatness, missing bearing detection, piston height, etc. The gage comes complete with controller, mounting fixturing, air service, filters, electronic alignment and cables.

Like the TMS family of products, the measurements taken by the DMS series are not affected by surface variations such as color, texture and reflectivity, electronic or mechanical noise, humidity, lighting, water vapor, dust, or temperature. The DMS products are non-contact, air-coupled ultrasonic distance measurement systems designed for use in industrial environments. The DMS product family can measure to a distance of 23.9999 inches from the material surface.

Any surface, liquid or solid, can be measured, on line, to an accuracy of better than one-thousandth of an inch. Applications include inspecting piston engines for missing connecting rod bearing inserts, measuring the piston deck height in diesel engines, precision fill level, depth of a blind hole, flatness, bottle cap security, etc.
