MasterGage / Multigage users

[chipking]

We are getting a MasterGage for the shop and looking for some feedback from ACTUAL users. There are some people that bag on Romer brand but beings it is a shorter arm I see where it can hold the accuracy that they claim. Any help??? Thanks!!!

I've gone through a 3-4 day seminar and training session with Ron Branch at Verisurf. Got to play with the setup quite a bit. I don't have access to one on a daily basis, but it is a nice setup IMHO.

 

Also with Ron....noway, nohow, nowhere will you find better support and knowledge.

Are those used for inspection only or for reverse engineering also? I looked all over and it seemed like they only can inspect parts.

[Chris Rizzo]

oh no it will reverse as well. real nice package for it.

We sell those here in Finland, so I have used it a lot. It can do reverse and inspection. You can also use it to inspect paper drawings.

 

I have attached a picture of a part that I reversed using 3Dgage. I then used the Robotmaster-addon to cut the same part (scaled smaller) with a robot. Then I could inspect the part I just cut, to see if it came out right. The robot had default parameters, so it had a habit of messing around in Z-direction.

 

One of our customers uses it to make custom rally and historic car parts. They can reverse the old part so it looks historically correct, and machine a fresh copy from solid aluminum block. After machining, they can inspect it to see, if the part is ok.

cool! What model of robot was it Eki?

 

I work exclusively with Robotmaster here in Canada - if you ever have any questions about Robotmaster or robots let me know - Always up for sharing info

Yeah glad to see people doing things never thought possible just 10 years ago. We passed the 100 arms sold point. Amazing little pieces of equipment. As product manager I can say I am really impressed and think every shop will benefit from this solution.

 

Here are a couple videos about what it does:

Here is my 2 cents...... Ron Branch is NO sales guy. He is a guy who tells it like it is, good or bad. If I had the $$$ I would already have one of his arms im here. I challenge you to find another guy in this industry who is more respected....
