ASDQMS Genesis QA3000-Handheld SPC Data Collectors Made to Last

Advanced Systems & Designs, Inc. (ASDQMS) has a wide variety of products, including rugged handheld SPC data collectors like the Genesis QA3000.

A great deal of ASD's customers using the Genesis QA3000 can attest to its ruggedness, and to the quality of this shop-hardened roving SPC data collector. ASDQMS's dedication to staying on the cutting edge includes the Genesis QA3000 - ASD are still manufacturing new units, doing repairs, making eprom updates, and even added a few new gages to the gage interface eprom every month to provide ASD customers with the most up-to-date data collection interfaces on the market.

With the Genesis QA3000, there is flexibility in its use - not only is it handheld (portable and self-contained), but now it is capable of entering data using the keyboard, or an electronic gage; ASD customers are able to set up data collection jobs on a PC, or the data collector. Variables and attribute data can be collected in one sequence, and the Genesis QA3000 can gather up to 32 variables and/or attributes.

Depending on the model, users may collect data from analog, digital, LVDT, bar code or voice recognition devices. With the Genesis' automatic gage recognition, there is no need to program in gage information - just plug in any gage (Mitutoyo, Mahr Federal, Ohaus, Ono-Sokki, Starrett, and many more) and collect data. Users collect data from a wide range of electronic gages and convert the signals to a common RS232 output with ease. Measured data goes directly to the PC for use with SPC software.

As operators collect data, the collector will display out-of-control values and SPC in real time. Now it is possible to view all of the Statistical Process Control charts, including X bar and R, as well as histograms. The high-contrast LCD screen displays these charts with crystal-clear clarity, and the 16-line by 42-character twist LCD displays more information than other portable collectors.
