Gage-X
Software

Gage-X™ metrology software lets users of SmartScope® video measurement systems with manual translation stages automate the measurement process. Using tools with graphical cues, any operator can find a feature and accurately focus on it. Gage-X is easy-to-learn, and easy to operate - and has the computational power to make the measurements you need.

Technical Data/Specifications

location of radius or diameter, included angle and
intersection point, location, and size of width,
distance (XYZ, polar, 3D, point to line, point to
plane), angle of plane, intersection points between
lines and circles, gage ball target to two lines, gage
line between two non-parallel lines, edge contour

CNC Control
