(Bowers Metrology Group: West Yorkshire, UK) -- A welcome consequence of the extended travel capability of Bowers’ latest, state-of-the-art XT Xtreme Bore Gauge, is its unique ability to accurately measure the diameter of the helix grooves of internal ball screw components.

A highly efficient way of accurately translating rotational motion into linear action, ball screws are used extensively within the machine tool, robotics, and aerospace industries. Ball Screws are manufactured to very close tolerances to minimize operational friction and to enable them to withstand the high thrust-loads that they are subjected to. The inaccessible yet precise nature of ball screws components’ internal grooves previously rendered them extremely difficult to measure. Bowers is now able to accurately manufacture measuring heads matching the precise geometry of any given ball screw, groove depth, and helix. When fitted to the company’s advanced XT Xtreme Digital Bore Gauge, users are able to quickly achieve extremely impressive, accurate, and repeatable measuring results.
