CENTERING INDICATOR C/W 7 TYPE FEELERS

A centering indicator, also known as a coaxial indicator, is a precision measuring tool used to accurately determine the center of a workpiece. It is commonly used in machining and manufacturing processes to ensure precise alignment of parts.

• For quick and accurate centering in boring and milling set-up
• Jeweled bearing
• Supplied with 7 type feelers

How it works:

A centering indicator consists of a mainbody with a dial indicator mounted at a right angle. As the workpiece rotates,the indicator measures the deviation from the center. By adjusting the workpieceuntil the indicator reads zero at all positions, the center is accuratelydetermined.

Applications

• Milling Operations: Used to ensure that a workpiece isproperly centered on the milling machine's table, relative to the spindle,before machining begins.
• Lathe Operations: Ensures that a cylindrical workpieceis aligned with the lathe's spindle axis for accurate turning, facing, andother operations.
• Quality Control: Employed in inspection processes toverify the concentricity and alignment of machined parts.
• Tool Setup: Helps in setting up cutting tools andfixtures by ensuring they are precisely aligned with the machine's spindle.

This measuring tool has other names too. Wiggler Machining Center-Finder, Coaxial Indicator or Centering Indicator

Advantages of a Centering Indicator

• High Precision: Provides accurate and reliable measurements, crucial for ensuring the quality and precision of machined parts.
• Time-Saving: Reduces setup time by allowing quick and easy alignment of workpieces, improving overall efficiency in the machining process.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications in different machining operations, making it an essential tool in any machine shop.
• Durability: Designed to withstand harsh shop conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

In summary, a centering indicator is an indispensable tool for machinists and engineers who require precise alignment of workpieces with machine spindles. Its high sensitivity, ease of use, and durability make it a valuable addition to any machining operation, ensuring that components are accurately centered and ready for precision work.
