DIAL GAUGES INDICATOR - DIAL GAUGE HOLDER - TOUCH PROBES

The dial indicator is an essential precision measuring tool designed to determine linear displacement with high accuracy. Available in various types, indicators can be either analog or digital.

Analog dial indicators utilize a needle system with graduated scales, enabling direct visual readings. Conversely, digital indicators provide precise numerical readings on a display, simplifying data interpretation without requiring additional calculations.

There are also specialized types of indicators, such as test indicators with probe arms for internal measurements, ultra-precision indicators for applications requiring extremely tight tolerances, and models specifically designed for measuring internal and external arcs and radii. Some indicators are Accredia-certified, ensuring compliance with quality and measurement reliability standards. Additionally, we offer replacement contact points and indicator mounts to ensure durability and optimal tool performance.

Magnetic bases are essential tools for mounting and stabilizing dial indicators during measurements. These stands utilize a powerful magnetic field, activated via a lever switch or push-button, allowing secure attachment to any metallic surface, including large structures.

Magnetic bases are available with articulated arms or adjustable rods, providing precise control over the angle and positioning of the indicator to ensure stable and repeatable measurements. Models with mechanical joints are ideal for applications requiring rigidity and repeatability, while models with hydraulic joints allow for even finer adjustments and enhanced stability due to constant hydraulic oil pressure.

These magnetic bases are particularly useful in technical fields such as the automotive industry, where they are employed to verify the concentricity and runout of mechanical components, such as brake discs, after exposure to high temperatures.

Touch Probes are highly specialized instruments primarily used for quality control and the verification of component dimensions and geometries. These devices gather extremely precise data on surfaces and shapes, playing a crucial role in industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and precision metrology.

Mechanical probes use a physical stylus that contacts the surface of the measured piece, detecting minute dimensional variations with exceptional accuracy. In contrast, optical probes and capacitive probes employ advanced non-contact technologies, enabling non-invasive measurements ideal for delicate surfaces or complex geometries that are challenging to assess with traditional methods.

The choice of probe type depends on the specific characteristics of the component and the required precision, with tailored solutions available to meet the demanding needs of both industrial and advanced research environments.
