Video: ProPanel caliper measures panels and flat products
CHARLOTTE - Accurate Technology’s ProPanel is a large handheld, portable caliper, designed to measure panels and flat products. The company will be exhibiting in Booth #110 at the co-located Wood Pro Expo Charlotte/Cabinets & Closets Conference & Expo, March 6-8 in the Charlotte Convention Center.
 
With repeatability of 0.001 inches, ProPanel can measure many different features of parts, including outside-to-outside dimensions, inside-to-inside dimensions, hole-to-hole, edge-to-hole, comparison of diagonal measurements, and more. It comes included with four cylinders that are used with the jaws to compare diagonal measurements.
 
Perfect for shop-floor applications, the company says the rugged anodized aluminum rail and hard anodized jaws are long lasting and durable, even when debris is present. The standard range is in sizes up to 120 inches, but custom sizes up to 16 feet are also available, as well as custom designs including absolute encoder designs.
 
It features special functions such as Go/NoGo, summation of part lengths, MIN, MAX, and AVG statistics, while a built-in SPC port can be used to send measurements over wired or wireless connections. It also features a digital readout that can remember calibration information for five different inserts and/or attachments.
 
ProPanel also features a sliding carriage that moves on four ultra-low friction bearings to minimize pitch and yaw errors, a large LCD readout, automatic temperature sensing and auto-correction for CTE, and the company’s Series II measuring technology.
 
 
The Wood Pro Expo brand comprises a series of strategic regional events, located in key areas throughout the United States where professional woodworkers congregate. Wood Pro Expo features a full day of education and tours followed by two expo days oriented to equipment and supplies focused on the small-to-medium size shops. The educational offering includes CNC basics, employee recruitment, finishing, lean manufacturing, business management, software, and shop safety.
 
The Cabinets & Closets Conference & Expo is an annual event featuring a full-day conference, plant tour, and exposition, and is dedicated to home remodeling professionals specializing in building kitchen cabinets, closets, and other home storage designs. Scheduled for March 6-8, 2019 at the Charlotte Convention Center, the Cabinets & Closets Conference and Expo will co-locate with Wood Pro Expo, which is held annually in Charlotte.
