“…It is widely recognized that air gauges are suitable measurement devices for a final check of the machines components like shafts [ 25 ], inspection of the machined pieces of the nuclear graphite [ 26 ]. More specifically, air gauges can be used also for cutting force measurement [ 27 ], for 2D roughness measurement [ 28 ] and surface topography characterization [ 29 ] including moving surfaces [ 30 ], for wheel-tooling gap measurement in the extrusion machinery [ 31 ], for continuous tool wear monitoring [ 32 ], or to control the gap between the lens and the surface in the auto-focusing mechanism, where it was able to reach an accuracy of 100 nm [ 33 ].…”

The paper presents a review of the research reports published in 2012–2022, dedicated to air gauging. Since most of the results are somehow related to Industry 4.0 concept, the review put the air gauging to the context of fourth industrial revolution. It was found that despite substantial decrease of the number of published papers in recent years, the investigations are still performed to improve air gauges, both in static and in non-steady states. Researchers paid attention to the digitization of the results, models and simulations, uncertainty estimation, calibration, and linearization. Specific applications covered real-time monitoring and in-process control, as well as form and surface topography measurements. Proposed solutions for integration with computer systems seem suitable for the air gauges be included to the sensor networks built according to the Industry 4.0 concept.

“…Over 60 years ago, Tanner [13] described the simplified measurements of lobing, circularity, and bore alignment with air gauges. Recent studies indicate that air gauging offers sufficient multiplication and reliability for tolerance measurement, significantly better than those of mechanical gauges [14], and it is still in use for surface topography characterization [15], form error measurement [16], and cylindrical surfaces assessment [17].…”

In this paper, the results of an investigation on the application of air gauges in the measurement of out-of-roundness parameters are presented. The principle of the measuring system is explained, in particular the novel design of the floating gauge head. An algorithm for fully automated measurement and data processing is described. The results from a series of initial measurements provided the data for further simulations, which revealed possible sources of errors. The simulations helped to evaluate the influence of some of the parameters on the final measurement results. After various accuracy tests, the method accuracy (MA) parameter was calculated in relation to the dedicated reference form tester. The result MA = 9.29% was judged to be highly satisfactory considering the short measurement time and non-contact method.

“…This sentence written almost 60 years ago [1], is still valid. The air gauges were successfully applied in the first decades of the 21st century in the industrial precise measuring tasks, like in-process inspection [2], both passive [3] and active type [4], as well as in analysis of the geometrical features like roughness [5] or form error [6]. The rapid development of computers and numerical calculation made it possible to use more precise and more sophisticated methods for data processing that were too complicated to be employed in the past [7].…”

In the article, analysis of the work conditions and the metrological characteristics of the air gauges dedicated for the roundness assessment is described. To reach the required accuracy of the acquired data, the phenomena of gas dynamics had to be analyzed in the whole flow through elements of the air gauge. A model based on the second critical parameters was used, because it reflects the true processes of the air flow. As a result, fast and accurate simulations provided series of the characteristics to be considered. Nevertheless, the chosen air gauge configuration underwent the experimental verification of its metrological characteristics. Finally, the entire measurement system Geoform with the gauge head based on the chosen air gauges underwent the accuracy test in order to make sure of its overall measurement quality.
