Enabling one to use gage data to control part sizes, the EZ-Comp System automatically calculates and transmits statistically based tool wear offsets directly to a CNC control. The EZ-Comp can accept data from practically any electronic gage or SPC software program and has an output format that is compatible with most CNC controllers.

The device accepts data from handheld, column, PC based gages from manufacturers such as Edmunds, Mahr Federal, Marposs, Z-Mike, Mitutoyo, L.S. Starrett, Moore, TSK, and others. It's also compatible with CNCs from GE Fanuc (several series), Okuma, Mazak Mazatrol, Siemens, Haas, and Mitsubishi.

The technology behind the gage interface was based on advancements in tool compensation feedback technology: Absolute Comp and Statistical Comp. Absolute Comp is done by sending the actual offset amount needed to adjust the process to the desired level rather than making a fixed adjustment whenever the process shifts near the tolerance limits. Statistical Comp involves mathematical analysis of finished workpieces to determine when and how much to compensate.
