FlexPort Gage Interfaces define flexibility:
Connecting to any brand or type gage is a given. Flexibility is the control you have over your gages and how it benefits you. We take flexibility and control to the next level. The many advanced (and exclusive) features of the FlexPort allow it to adapt to any application.
Connect and collect data from multiple digital gages to a single RS232 output:
The Universal FlexPort can collect data from a wide variety of digital gages such as Mitutoyo, Mahr Federal, Starrett, Ono Sokki, Fowler and more. Many other devices, such as weigh scales, balances, readouts and more, can be connected using standard cables to collect up to 5 readings from a single output. Mix and match gage types side by side. The ability to collect data from virtually any device gives you the power to use the instruments you need.
The FlexPort simultaneously combines the signal from multiple tools and converts it to a standardized format (RS232 serial) for collecting into any software you choose. (SPC software packages have a driver for this format). The front panel includes multiple data send LED’s to signal successful data sending. The LED’s turn on when data is requested and automatically turn off when data has been sent.
Lowest cabling cost on the market:
The FlexPort is compatible with all standard Mitutoyo gage cables. As an added benefit, the power of the FlexPort allows standard cables to be used for a wide variety of gages. This means custom cables that competitors offer for $200 are replaced with our standard cabling priced at $50. (That’s a savings that really adds up - especially since cables come up missing over time!)
Data send options - collect the way you want:
The FP-2U, 4U and 8U offer 3 ways to request a reading to be sent to your PC. A footswitch jack (contact closure), the send button (on the gage) and host commands from the PC can all be used to request readings. All requests can trigger a static or dynamic (TIR) reading, trigger all or any combination of ports, send serial requests to a gage, notify PC that a data request has occurred and many more features exclusive to the FlexPort line.
Pass-Thru Port can be used as additional serial input or to backplane units:
This port (DB9M) can connect directly to a serial gage and extract 1 to 5 readings from the output. The Pass-Thru Port can also be used as a backplane for connecting interfaces to the PC. The standard cable used to connect to the PC will combine all MidwestFlex products (digital, serial, analog, display, and more) for up to 99 inputs.
