ARM9USBEthernet

Merlin is the benchmark product in the gauge computer sector and represents a tried and trusted solution when collecting data used to optimise industrial production analysis and monitoring processes. Based on a Windows embedded operating system, Merlin forms the basis of a range of compact, easy-to-use devices that are ideal for use in manual gauging applications. It is capable of executing SPC checks, with in line Cp and Cpk calculation’s, complete with histograms and control charts. It can be used to manage several production batches and users, and includes multi-lingual support. Merlin can be used to manage numerous part types and define measurement batches in order to simplify production certification and monitoring. The specially designed user interface greatly simplifies system setting, program definition and batch management procedures. Merlin was specifically designed for simple manual operations and supports all the main Marposs measuring devices, as well as several third party devices, and features RS232, USB, Ethernet and Bluetooth connection options. With Merlin it is possible to carry out statistical process control by analysing the data associated with the variables in real time (control chart, machine and process capacity) and save data in CSV and qs-STAT® compatible formats. BENEFITS • easy to set-up and use • production process quality control by means of in line SPC or by exporting single cycles or batches • step measurement cycle management • production batch management, including automatic closing and opening • multi-lingual and multi-operator support • manages complex measurement formulas
