An operator is using
Height gage #A to measure a step height having a customer tolerance of 25.4 mm +0.1 mm.
Still in the midst of up-grading its ISO 9001 Certification to a higher level, it elected to install a Swiss-made
height gage to effect the change--the Trimos V-600 electronic
height gage.
Three size models of the Mestra-Touch Trimos 1D/2-D
height gage handle measuring ranges up to 50", each having a resolution of 0.00001" and a repeatability of 0.00002".
"Our latest acquisition is a 12" Fowler/Trimos V-300 Series
height gage that provides us with very accurate diameters and heights.
"We like instruments that can help us attain optimum repeatability, accuracy, and ease of operation." He comments that two such instruments that have promoted the purposes of the EMP program are a new pistol grip bore gage and an electronic
height gage, both manufacturing in Europe (the UK and Switzerland) and distributed exclusively by Fred V.
Because of the range of components made by Progressive Tool, the need for an accurate
height gage that "actually lives up to the specifications promised by equipment manufacturers was most important to us," says Thompson.
System includes a 12" manual
height gage, centerline block, 12" x 18" granite surface plate and your choice of a VDI 30 or VDI 40 toolholder block.
A
height gage (digital with LCD display) has a resolution of 0.0005" or 0.01mm.
One instrument key to the QA program's success is the 12" Fowler Z-Cal
height gage, produced in Switzerland and distributed exclusively in the US by the Fred V Fowler Co Inc, Newton, MA, which enables the company to perform inspection more accurately and three times faster than previously.
