The GapGun is a wireless laser gauge used extensively across the world by major manufacturing companies, primarily in aerospace and automotive markets.

With our extensive list of dedicated distributors, the GapGun is a truly class leading product, with the best ergonomics, repeatability and data handling capabilities in the world.
As its name might suggest, the GapGun is designed to measure gaps. But that is just the beginning of its measurement capabilities. The GapGun can measure gap and flush (also known as step or mismatch) simultaneously, along with other features such as height, width, radius, hole diameter, scratches, rivets, chamfers and much more!

Most leading automotive and aerospace companies use the GapGun.

The GapGun system comes equipped to operate either non-contact (no standoffs) or contact (with standoffs). Because adding or removing the standoffs takes only seconds, you can maximise performance by selecting the best method for each measurement point.

Always use the GapGun without standoffs (non-contact)
1 - Where accuracy and repeatability are critical.
2 - On any surfaces that are soft, plastic, or may move.
3 - Where surface damage is a concern.
4 - For hard to reach, concave, or restricted areas.

Otherwise, use the GapGun with standoffs (contact)
1 - Where speed is more important than accuracy
(contact is approximately 15% faster).
2 - For measuring at arms length or on small complex features.
3 - Where an application specific standoff is used.
4 - To train new operators.

• 7 Key reasons to choose the GapGun

1 Fast, strong and easy to use
The GapGun is small, light and ruggedly designed. It can take multiple measurements from most surface shapes up to ten times faster than other gauges.

2 No surface contact
The GapGun never touches your product, eliminating surface damage, reducing measurement variation, and acilitating new types of measurement.

3 Proven precision
Conforming to QS9000-MSA for a wide variety of complex measurements, and supplied with a traceable calibration, the GapGun provides a dramatic improvement in accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility.

4 Robot compatible
The measurement head can be removed from the GapGun’s body and attached to a robot or co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM), ensuring consistent measurements and providing a fully automated measurement solution.

5 True portability
You don’t have to be tethered to a PC.You can connect your GapGun by Ethernet or 802.11 WiFi to a laptop or other computer.

6 On-screen graphics
Photographs upload automatically to the GapGun’s large colour touch screen, guiding new operators to the correct point to measure.

7 Full SPC
The GapGun’s Statistical Process Control system enables comprehensive planning, collection and analysis of measurement data. Automatic data transfer interfaces are available for most current SPC packages.
