ROMER Inc. Showcases New-to-Market MultiGage At EASTEC 2008

ROMER Inc., a Hexagon Metrology company, announced today its new-to-the market
ROMER MultiGage will be showcased in Booth #3101 at EASTEC 2008, Eastern States
Exposition, in West Springfield, MA, from May 20 - May 22, 2008. Designed
exclusively for today's machine shop, the six-axis MultiGage is a portable,
precision CMM with a 1.2 m measuring volume. The new MultiGage is used for 3D
dimensional control of molds, parts, tooling, castings, and more. Its
quick-mount system allows the CMM to be setup for on-demand measurement and
inspection of parts or assemblies on your machine tool or anywhere on the shop
floor. ROMER is industry renowned for its line of portable CMMs utilized in over
100 industries including automotive, aerospace, ship/ boat building, and more.

With the MultiGage, a machine shop can streamline their measurement process and
replace a variety of handheld tools in the inspection room or out in the shop,
such as height gages, dial calipers, bore gages, jo blocks, micrometers, dial
indicators and more. The new CMM is easy to install and use, with a very short
learning curve for operators. The system's plug-and-play probes and
ultra-intuitive software interface add up to no-nonsense operation. Detailed
measurement reports are also generated automatically.

"The ROMER MultiGage is the state-of-the-art metrology tool for machine shop
owners looking to upgrade their operation with precision dimensional control and
inspection. The MultiGage provides the functionality of a 3D height gage, but
packs on new features and extremely high accuracies. Measuring features and
geometric shapes on parts has never been so easy," states Paul Evans, Product
Manager for ROMER, Inc.

Mobile and Easy-to-Operate

The portable MultiGage gives machine shops access to the same functionality
typically found in a metrology lab. The MultiGage's longlife, internal battery
grants unfettered mobile operation. There is no special installation required
onsite. The MultiGage can be mounted directly onto a machine tool, and the user
can inspect parts without removal. Operators are not required to have metrology
knowledge. After each part inspection, the software program automatically
generates detailed measurement reports.

Innovative Counterweight and Wrist Design

The MultiGage's innovative counterweight design eliminates operator fatigue and
assures the same high accuracy over the full range of measurements. A new
ergonomic wrist with intuitive and easy-to-reach buttons is comfortable to use,
and increases operator productivity.

Plug-and-Measure Probes

Using Swiss-made multi-wire connectors from TESA, ROMER's automatic probe
recognition feature is now combined with a highly proven, robust kinematic joint
connection. MultiGage electronic probes are automatically recognized and
identified by the software requiring no recalibration of probes required when
changing from probe to probe.
