Precision air gauge measurement, made simple

The PneuGage is Versa Controls' flagship pneumatic gauging system — a rugged, 7-inch touchscreen display that converts air-tooling (plug gauges, ring gauges and multi-jet fixtures) into a repeatable, operator-friendly measuring station. It is designed for shop floors that rely on air gauges for bore, taper and ovality inspection but want the speed, data and traceability of a modern digital gauging display.

Air gauging is prized for sub-micron repeatability, self-cleaning of the measured surface and long tooling life. The PneuGage adds the intelligence: it displays six channels simultaneously, applies your result formulas for diameter, taper and ovality, grades parts into up to 25 bins and calculates SPC (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk, Sigma) live as you measure. That makes it a complete precision gauging solution for high-volume automotive, bearing and precision-machining lines — and a cost-effective Indian alternative to imported air-gauging columns.

Because it speaks RS-232 to Fanuc controls and carries 7 digital outputs and 8 digital inputs, the PneuGage drops straight into in-process gauging and gauging automation cells, signalling accept/reject and machine-stop conditions to your PLC or CNC. One-touch reports export to PDF, CSV and DFQ (Q-DAS) over LAN, Wi-Fi or USB.

Key features & benefits

Everything you need to run air gauging on the shop floor, from first master to final report.

6 pneumatic channels

Read up to six air-gauge circuits at once for multi-dimension checks on a single part — true multi gauging.

0.1-micron resolution

Selectable 0.1 μm / 1 μm resolution with Current, Min, Max, TIR, Average, plus Ovality and Taper results.

Live on-screen SPC

Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk and Sigma with XBar-R, XBar-S, Histogram and Run-chart views, right at the gauge.

Auto air cut-off

Air switches on only when a job is inserted and off when removed — cutting compressed-air cost and noise.

Automation-ready I/O

7 isolated digital outputs + 8 digital inputs and Fanuc RS-232 for in-process and CNC gauging automation.

One-touch reporting

PDF, CSV and DFQ (Q-DAS) reports over LAN, Wi-Fi or USB, stored shift-wise for full traceability.

Where the PneuGage is used

Air gauging excels wherever you need fast, repeatable bore, taper and form checks. Typical PneuGage applications include:

Engine & powertrain cylinder bores, crankshaft & camshaft journals, connecting-rod big/small end, valve guides

Bearings inner and outer race bore/OD diameters, ovality and roundness on high-volume lines

Transmission & gears gear bores, shaft diameters, splined and stepped features

Hydraulics & pneumatics cylinder bores, spool valves, pump housings needing tight taper control

Precision machining & honing post-honing bore verification, taper and ovality on finished IDs

Automotive component inspection an air gauge for the automotive industry across machining and assembly QC

Why buy from Versa Controls

Global-grade air-gauging technology, engineered, priced and supported in India.

Air-gauging know-how in India has long meant importing expensive columns from European specialists. The PneuGage gives you comparable accuracy and richer data — live SPC, DFQ reporting and automation I/O — as a locally built measuring instrument backed by direct engineering support. Versa Controls has designed and manufactured manufacturing gauges and gauging displays in Pune since 2002, and the PneuGage carries the G.S. Parkhe Industrial Award for indigenous product development.

FAQ

Common questions about the PneuGage and pneumatic (air) gauging.

What is a pneumatic gauging display?

A pneumatic (air) gauging display reads the back-pressure or flow from air-gauge tooling — plug or ring gauges — and converts it into a precise dimensional reading. The PneuGage handles up to six air channels at once and shows diameter, taper and ovality with live SPC on a 7-inch touchscreen.

How many air channels does the PneuGage support?

Up to six pneumatic channels, so you can check several dimensions on a single part in one cycle (multi gauging). You can also combine channels using the on-board result formula editor.

What accuracy and resolution can I expect?

Display resolution is selectable at 0.1 µm or 1 µm. Overall system accuracy depends on the air tooling, masters and setup; our team will help you match the right tooling to your tolerance band.

Can the PneuGage connect to CNC or Fanuc machines for in-process gauging?

Yes. It has RS-232 for PC communication and a second RS-232 compatible with Fanuc o-i Power Mate / 16 / 18 controls, plus 7 digital outputs and 8 digital inputs — so it fits directly into in-process and automated gauging stations and can trigger machine-stop on a reject.

Does it calculate SPC?

Yes — Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk and Sigma are computed live, with XBar-R, XBar-S, Histogram and Run-chart views on the display.
