Kluczowe komponenty:

  • Dial Face: 58mm diameter, clearly marked with 0-10mm range and 0.01mm increments.
  • Tłok nurnikowy: The movable rod that contacts the surface being measured.
  • Kant: The rotating outer ring of the dial, used for zeroing.
  • Śruba blokująca: Secures the bezel in position after zeroing.
  • Circlips (Tolerance Markers): Two adjustable clips on the dial for setting maximum and minimum tolerance limits.
  • Mounting Lug: A tab with a hole on the rear for attaching to a magnetic base or other fixtures.
  • Trzon: The cylindrical body of the indicator, also used for mounting.

3. Informacje dotyczące bezpieczeństwa

Always handle precision instruments with care. Dropping or impacting the dial test indicator can affect its accuracy and cause damage. Store the instrument in a clean, dry environment away from dust and corrosive materials. Avoid applying excessive force to the plunger or other components.

4. Konfiguracja

  1. Montowanie: Secure the dial test indicator firmly. It can be mounted using the lug on the rear of the dial, typically attached to a magnetic base, or by clamping the stem. Ensure the mounting is stable and free from vibration.
  2. Pozycjonowanie: Position the indicator so that the plunger is perpendicular to the surface being measured. This ensures accurate readings.
  3. Zerowanie: Gently bring the plunger into contact with the reference surface. Rotate the bezel until the main needle points to '0' on the dial. Tighten the locking screw to secure the bezel in this position.

5. Instrukcja obsługi

  1. Pomiar: Once zeroed on a reference point, move the indicator to the point of measurement. The main needle will indicate the deviation from the reference point. Each major division on the dial represents 0.1mm, and each small division represents 0.01mm.
  2. Wskaźnik zasięgu: The small inner dial indicates full revolutions of the main needle, typically showing the total travel within the 0-10mm range.
  3. Tolerance Setting: Use the two adjustable circlips on the dial face to mark your desired maximum and minimum tolerance limits. This allows for quick visual inspection of whether a measurement falls within acceptable parameters.
  4. Lifting the Plunger: If equipped, use the puller mechanism to retract the plunger for easier positioning over the workpiece without scratching the surface.

6. Konserwacja

  • Czyszczenie: After each use, wipe the indicator clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Smarowanie: The internal mechanisms are factory-lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate the plunger or other moving parts unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer, as this can attract dust and affect accuracy.
  • Składowanie: Store the dial test indicator in its protective case (if provided) or a clean, dry place to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.
  • Kalibrowanie: W przypadku zastosowań krytycznych zaleca się okresową kalibrację przez wykwalifikowanego technika w celu zapewnienia ciągłej dokładności.
