Key Advantages for Calibration Labs

Adding the UDT-2 calibration stand to your toolroom offers clear operational benefits:

  • High Calibration Precision: Verifies fine graduations down to 0.001 mm or 0.0001 inches.

  • Rigid Construction: Stable iron base eliminates frame flexing during test spindle adjustments.

  • Versatile Mounting: Securely clamps stems and lug backs of various indicator sizes.

  • Cost Efficiency: In-house calibration saves thousands in external testing fees annually.

Common Industrial Applications

Quality control managers and calibration technicians rely on the UDT-2 tester for routine tasks:

  1. Routine Metrology Maintenance: Verify dial indicator accuracy before issuing tools to machinists.

  2. ISO Compliance Audits: Document calibration accuracy curves to satisfy strict quality standards.

  3. Repair Verification: Test repaired indicators to ensure full mechanical responsiveness.

  4. Bore Gauge Calibration: Set up linear measurement standards for internal diameter gauges.

How to Test an Indicator in 4 Easy Steps

Follow these simple steps to perform an indicator calibration test:

  1. Mount the Indicator: Clamp your dial gauge firmly into the tester holding bracket.

  2. Set Initial Zero: Bring the micrometer spindle against the contact point and zero both dials.

  3. Advance the Micrometer: Rotate the micrometer head in precise incremental steps.

  4. Compare Readings: Note deviations between the micrometer displacement and the indicator dial.
