Maintenance and maintenance of measuring tools

The correct use of precision measuring tools is one of the important conditions to ensure product quality. In order to maintain the accuracy of measuring tools and the reliability of their work, in addition to operating in accordance with reasonable methods of use during use, the maintenance and maintenance of measuring tools must also be done.

1. When measuring parts on the machine tool, wait until the parts are completely stopped, otherwise it will not only cause premature wear of the measuring surface of the measuring tool and loss of accuracy, but also cause accidents. Especially when a turner uses a foreign card, don't think that the caliper is simple and it doesn't matter if it is worn out. It should be noted that there are often pores and shrinkage holes in the casting. Once the pliers feet fall into the pores, the operator's hands can be pulled in, causing serious accidents.

2. The measuring surface of the measuring tool and the measured surface of the part should be wiped clean before measurement, so as not to affect the measurement accuracy due to the presence of dirt. It is wrong to use precision measuring tools such as vernier calipers, dial gauges and dial indicators to measure the forging blanks, or the surface with abrasives (such as emery, etc.), which will easily cause the measurement surface to wear quickly and lose accuracy.

3. Do not stack the measuring tool with tools, knives, such as files, hammers, turning tools, and drill bits during use, so as not to damage the measuring tool. Don't just put it on the machine tool to avoid the measuring tool falling and damage due to the vibration of the machine tool. Especially vernier calipers, etc., should be placed flat in a special box to avoid deformation of the ruler body.

4. The measuring tool is a measuring tool and must not be used as a substitute for other tools. For example, using a vernier caliper to draw lines, a centimeter as a small hammer, a steel ruler as a screwdriver for screwing, and a steel ruler to clean up chips are all wrong. It is also wrong to use a measuring tool as a toy, such as holding a centimeter in your hand, and arbitrarily swinging or shaking it, and it is easy to make the measuring tool lose its accuracy.

5. Temperature has a great influence on the measurement results. The precise measurement of parts must be carried out at 20℃. Generally, the measurement can be performed at room temperature, but the temperature of the workpiece and the measuring tool must be the same, otherwise, the measurement result will be inaccurate due to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of the metal material.

Temperature also has a great influence on the accuracy of measuring tools. Measuring tools should not be placed in the sun or on the bedside box, because the temperature of the measuring tools will not be able to measure the correct size. Do not place precision measuring tools near heat sources (such as electric furnaces, heat exchangers, etc.) to avoid thermal deformation of the measuring tools and loss of accuracy.

6. Do not place precision measuring tools near magnetic fields, such as on the magnetic table of a grinder, so as not to make the measuring tools magnetic.

7. When it is found that there are abnormal phenomena in the precision measurement, such as uneven surface of the measuring tool, burrs, rust spots, inaccurate scale, bending and deformation of the ruler body, inflexible movement, etc., the user should not dismantle and repair by himself, let alone use it by himself. Rough methods such as hammering, filing, and polishing with emery cloth may increase the error of the measuring tool. If the above situation is found, the user should take the initiative to send it to the metering station for repair, and continue to use it after checking the accuracy of the metering station.

8. After the measuring tools are used, they should be wiped clean in time. Except for stainless steel measuring tools or those with protective coating, the metal surface should be coated with a layer of anti-rust oil, placed in a special box, and stored in a dry place to avoid rust.

9. Regular verification and maintenance of precision measuring tools should be carried out. Precision measuring tools used for a long time should be sent to the measuring station for maintenance and verification accuracy on a regular basis, so as to avoid product quality accidents caused by over-tolerance of the indication error of the measuring tool.
