The Hole Story: Bore Gage Calibration
Bore gages are used to measure the inside diameter or bore size of a hole. They can come in a variety of sizes and types including dial, digital, electronic, and Vernier.
While some adjust to provide direct measurement of the size of a bore, others are set to a specific size using a ring gage and are then used to verify the size of a bore. In either case, both your bore gages as well as your ring gages should be calibrated to ensure accurate and repeatable measurement.
Product Spotlight: CCP Comparators
J.A King has joined with Certified Comparator Products (CCP) to bring you the latest in optical comparator technology. CCP, which was the first optical comparator company to introduce an all LED light driven machine, offers machines in 14”, 16”, 20” and 30” viewable screens. These machines feature industry leading internal edge detection for both accuracy and speed, reducing operator variation and decreasing inspection time. Additionally, E-Check software allows for full automation of their motorized machines.
VIDI-Probe, the latest CCP offering, brings video measurement into the comparator world with the ability to use your comparator screen when you need to see a larger field of view. This technology provides automated edge detection and gathers many data points per measurement, allowing for filtering to remove unwanted burs and contamination.
