What is Orbit Gauging System (OGS)?

An Orbit Gauging System (OGS) is a metrology system that uses a network of digital sensors, interfaces, and software to perform precise measurements and data collection. This system is particularly effective in various industrial settings, allowing for efficient and accurate gauging of parts and components.

OGS connects up to 200 sensors—from digital probes to laser triangulation and even third-party devices—into one seamless network. Whether you’re checking battery cells, turbine blades, glass, or semiconductors, OGS handles it all with high speed and top accuracy.

Why Choose Orbit Gauging System (OGS)?

  • Extreme Precision – Resolutions up to 0.01 µm, ideal for tolerance-critical parts
  • Fast Data Collection – Up to 3906 readings/sec for real-time monitoring
  • Rugged for the Line – IP65+ rated probes for oily, dusty, or high-vibration environments
  • Modular & Scalable – Easy integration across your line or QA station
  • Wireless Options – Use WiGauge™ for cable-free inspection in tight spaces
  • PLC & PC Compatible – Plug into Modbus®, EtherCAT®, Profinet®, Excel®, and more

7 Key Features of Orbit Gauging System

Calibrated Sensors

Solartron Digital Probes are calibrated with a laser interferometer at its UK Factory. For the customer, this reduces setup time, and decreases the likelihood of human error from onsite scaling.

No Min/Max Mastering

Solartron Digital Probes are calibrated across the full measurement range, meaning no need for min max mastering at the factory. This reduces cost, as only one master is required and setup time reduced.

Simplicity

Easy set up and mastering with the Solartron Orbit® network means less time and labour cost when creating a measurement system for quality checks.

Multiple Outputs

Orbit 3® can network up to 200 sensors on a robust, modular system with multiple output options. Interfaces include USB 2.0, Ethernet TCP/IP, Wireless, and 6 different PLC interface protocols. Digital readouts are also available.

Less Downtime

In cases of sensor breakage, Solartron Digital Sensors can be replaced quickly, with available features such as “Hot Swap” and Inline Plugs.

Fast Data Tracking

Instead of writing on a chart or manual entry, data from gauging measurements can automatically be output into a spreadsheet or saved into a network via PC, PLC or other interface. Output speeds are up to 3906 readings per probe, per second.

Network to 3rd Party Sensors

Solartron offers multiple Interface connections to 3rd party sensors, including DC & 4.20mA analog output, Digimatic, TTL, and others. There is also a module that connects to Air Gauges. No other network provides this much versatility.
