Primarily used in Calibration Labs and testing facilities, the 6270A can be mounted to a rack, placed on a bench-top, or operated remotely via computer.

The unique feature of the 6270A is the quick-change, modular sensors. The mechanical engineer and I were able to design a system that used a combination of geometry and torque-limited thumb screws to align and secure the modules under pressure, all with no tools required.

This modular "a la carte" approach allows users to customize the effective range of their device to their exact needs, choosing from a wide range of available sensors.

The other key advantage of the modular system is that it allows service and repairs to occur at the sensor level, not at the calibrator level. Routine maintenance or unexpected problems no longer require taking an entire work station (and possibly assembly line) offline; the sensor can be swapped for an alternate and work can continue.

Update: this thing is going in the yellow circle above!
I'm...vaguely...aware what the green thing does, but it seems pretty cool!
