Check for out-of-parallel anvils and determine wear on micrometers. This gauge has nine steps that measure from 0.140” to 0.964”.

Check your caliper’s inside and outside measurements. These calibration checkers work with electronic, dial, and vernier calipers. They come with a certificate of calibration traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy.

Inspect micrometer spindle and anvil tips to identify whether they're worn or out of parallel. These discs help you keep your micrometer measuring accurately, especially after repeatedly measuring hard items such as ball bearings. Place them between the anvil and spindle and look at the resulting light pattern on the glass.

Optical parallels determine if your anvil and spindle are parallel. You’ll know your micrometer is out of parallel if the spindle side reflects a different number of lines than the anvil side. Each parallel includes four discs to check each quarter-turn of your spindle and identify where it has worn down.

Ensure consistent coloring on products such as labels and packaging. The sensor on these colorimeters translates the light an object reflects to an exact color reading. Use them for quality control to prevent slight variation that you might miss with your eyes alone. Calibrate your colorimeter using the included white calibration block. The machine measures all other colors according to their variance from true white.

Color Calibrators—Color calibration plates (sold separately) test and calibrate your colorimeter. They include five colors across the color spectrum to give the device a reference point for exact color readings. Precisely manufactured to ISO/IEC 17025, these plates meet standards for testing and calibration equipment.

A stack light and audible alarm alert you when packages, products, and parts are too heavy or too light. Also known as check weighers, these scales verify quality and consistency in packing, parts machining, and other activities. Set your weight range, and the stack light tells you if an object is OK to go using three colored lights: one for too heavy, one for too light, and one for just right. Specific measurements appear on a bright, backlit LCD.

The scale's memory stores up to 10 weight ranges, so you can switch from one range to another as your tasks change. In counting mode, the scale tallies the total number of parts based on the weight of a single part. When using a container to hold small items, press the tare button to reset the scale to zero. To print or transfer data to a computer, connect an RS-232 computer cord (not included) to the scale's DB9 port.

Check for quality and consistency among packages, parts, and other objects in areas that are frequently washed down. These scales are IP and NEMA rated, so they seal out water and dust. Also known as check weighers, they alert you when items are outside of a set weight range. The stack light uses three colored lights: one for too heavy, one for too light, and one for when items are good to go. An audible alarm also signals when items are outside your weight standard. Exact measurements appear on a bright, backlit LCD display. Mount the display to the included column to position it where it’s easiest to see.

Press the tare button to reset these scales to zero when using a container to hold small items.

Read tension and compression measurements with a glance—these gauges have three color-coded indicator lights to show you if a part is at your desired force. Red means the force is too high, orange means too low, and green is just right. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They have a backlit LED display to easily read force measurements, even in low light. The display is reversible, so it will be readable whether you have the gauge positioned with the shaft on top or bottom. All have a threaded male shaft to connect tips, hooks, and other attachments. Use the included software to upload measurement data—it downloads peak data from the gauge’s memory or captures continuous data.
