Left most digits starts Blinking. For changing Digit position press “LEFT” key and for

changing value on segment use “UP” OR “DOWN” key for incrementing or

decrementing value on segment.When you are at 7th digit position and press “LEFT”
key for moving 8th position it is blank.

This is Digit Sign position. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key for minus sign (positive
sign is not shown on display) When there is no any sign present then it will indicate positive

value. Press “ENT” key to store that value.

*Note : Total 25 programs you can set for 25 no. of different jobs.
Changes to these menus are applicable for only that job you have
selected. For every new job you have to set new parameters in a new
program.

Fanuc interface:
Fanuc Interface is used for communication of Airgauge with Fanuc
controller for offset adjustment. Port Selects Fanuc to send data to the Serial
Port.
When asked the main offset value is send to the Fanuc controller as
per the protocol, Baud rate- 9600, 8 bit, Stop bit=1, parity=none.
Offset value is calculated by taking average of 20 values
(settable Max 20).
If the average of 20 values is greater than control limits UCL or LCL
for consecutive 7 times (settable Max20) then the new offset is calculated &
added to the main offset value. This main offset is then saved in memory &
send to the Fanuc controller when asked to send. If offset value calculated is
more than wear limit then change tool alarm is showed & this offset value is
not added in the main offset value. Average count & consecutive count is
cleared.
If values for averaging taken is less than 20, then this average values
are not taken for checking with control limit.
Reset function is used to clear main offset value, Average count,
consecutive count, Also main offset value=0 is saved in memory.
After calibration or preset or at power ON, Reset, or change in
program, Average count=0, Consecutive Count=0, Average=0.
Array is moving average array Ie. Last In First Out.
Wear limit:- If the Offset value is greater than the wear limit then show

H] FACTORY SETTING MODE :

This mode is a useful mode and is required when the system malfunctions and does
not function correctly. Use of this function is cautioned as this will erase all the settings and
corrections applied.

This function is used to set the Airgauge to factory defaults.

How to Factory set Airguage UNIT :

To factory set Airguage UNIT directly switch off the Airguage and keep pressing “CAL”
key & then Power ON the Airgauge.

Effect of Factory setting on Airguage :

This will set default parameters in home position.

All the programs in setup mode will set to default parameters.

Reset channel reading.

This will erase correction factor, probe center, all the data in memory, ovality measured &
center offset calculated.

This process will take some time; wait up to Program No. 25 After that Airgauge will enter

in calibration mode, if you want to enter in Home Position, then press “ESC” key.

I] CALLIBRATION MODE :

Requirement before calibration:

Ensure that before calibration input air pressure should be grater than 4 bar. This air is
regulated to 4 bar and this air is given to the unit.

In Regulator unit this air is again regulated to the 2 bar.

In calibration mode when the +20 µm ring is placed then adjust the front knob to display the
value between 6.000 & 7.000. And for -20 µm ring display should show the value between
3.000 & 4.000. Then start the calibration.

At power ON, Airgauge will enter into calibration mode or you can press “CAL” key
to enter in this mode. After Airgauge entered in calibration mode, You first select Channel No.,

( press “CH1” key for channel-1 or press “CH2” key for channel-2). Display shows

Insert Higher Master message, after inserting press “ENT” key. Then display shows

Insert Lower Master message, then press “ENT” key. Then displays Done & goes
back to calibration window.

Note: You should re-calibrate the Airguage for better

Performance .

A) TIR (Ovality) :
• Start measurement, after inserting plug in job current reading is shown.
(See Parameter No. 20 to 28)
• If reading is in the auto-sense range then after auto-sense time the TIR (Ovality)
value will reset to zero automatically.
• Then rotate the job to check Ovality.
• If Ovality tolerance increases above Ovality Higher tolerance value the Selected
Channel’s 7- Segment color change to RED (i.e. reject) otherwise it will be Green
(i.e. accept).
• We set Ovality lower tolerance is 1 micron means job has minimum Ovality of 1
micron.

B) MAX :
• Start measurement, after inserting plug in job current reading is shown.
(See Parameter No. 20 to 28)
• If reading is in the auto-sense range then after auto-sense time the MAX value will
reset to current job value automatically.
• Then rotate the job to check MAX value. MAX reading is calculated automatically &
displayed.

C) MIN :
• Start measurement, after inserting plug in job current reading is shown.
(See Parameter No. 20 to 28)
• If reading is in the auto-sense range then after auto-sense time the MIN value will
reset to current job value automatically.
• Then rotate the job to check MIN value. MIN reading is calculated automatically &
displayed.

D) AVG :
• Start measurement, after inserting plug in job current reading is shown.
(See Parameter No. 20 to 28)
• If reading is in the auto-sense range then after auto-sense time the AVG value will
reset to current job value automatically.
• Then rotate the job to check AVG. Then MAX, MIN, AVG reading is calculated
automatically & AVG value is displayed.

E) TIR_SP :
• In this mode you can check both Ovality of the job as well as job size.
• Start measurement, after inserting plug in job current reading is shown.
(See Parameter No. 20 to 28)
• If reading is in the auto-sense range then after auto-sense time the TIR value will
reset to current job value automatically.
• Then rotate the job to check O
• SP mode will check for value entered, if this value is greater than size tolerance (i.e.
HL & LL) then it will be in reject mode.
• SP mode will check for Ovality: If Ovality is greater than Ovality Tolerance, then also it
will enter in Reject mode.
• If job is removed & again inserted & if its value is in the settable range, then Ovality
measurement will reset.
• Checking of value is continuous in SP mode.

Connect LVDT probe to the Airguage & probe stand as shown in below fig.
For length measurement with LVDT do the following settings in Airguage.

• In Parameter settings menu : (Refer Chapter G for settings)

1) Set the Nominal value (i.e. Diameter setting ) Parameter No.1:- e.g. 20.000

2) Set the higher tolerance limit (i.e. HL) Parameter No.2:- e.g. 20.0100

3) Set the lower tolerance limit (i.e. LL) Parameter No.3:- e.g. 19.9900

4) Set the higher master (i.e. HM) Parameter No.4:- e.g. 1.0000

5) Set the lower master (i.e. LM) Parameter No.5:- e.g. 0.0000
Above HM & LM settings for 1mm measuring range, set these parameters as per required
range.

6) Set the Outer Diameter Mode Parameter No.6:-

7) Set the ABS mode Parameter No.7.

8) Set the Resolution & range as per requirement Parameter No. 8 :-

e.g. Resolution = 0.0001.

9) Set SIM - NOR mode from Parameter No.8.

Select SIM mode, for calibration by only one master i.e. HM (Higher Master).

[You can select NOR mode, for calibration by two masters i.e. HM & LM (Higher Master &
Lower Master).]

Calibration of LVDT Probe :

Here select SIM mode for calibration.

1) Now Press key to enter in calibration mode. Here (Big) 7

Segment display shows Actual probe value (when probe not pressed).

2) Adjust the LVDT probe to 0.0000 (i.e. Mechanical zero position.)

3) Place the Higher Master of 1.000 value & press key to do the calibration.

Calibration is done. Now, you can start the measurement.
