DI-10KD DI-0560SC
■Origin position shifts during measurement. Dial Indicator / Comparator Model No. DI-10 DI-1060SC
・Temperature changes during measurement can cause repeatability error.
 Please try the following solutions:
 ●Use in location with constant temperature.
DIAL GAUGE DI-1058 DI-0160SC

 ●When taking measurements, periodically adjust zero point using a Master reference to correct for Thank you for purchasing the Niigata Seiki Dial Gauge. Used with a Magnetic Base or Indicator Stand,
  temperature induced drift. this gauge will show the difference in position from a zero point set at a reference position.

■Measurement is not stable, or measurement accuracy is poor. ■APPLICATIONS

・Worn Contact Point will affect accuracy. ・ Comparing parts to a master part during inspection ・Checking vise parallelism on milling machines
 Periodically check Contact Point for wear, and replace if wear is affecting measurement accuracy. ・ Measuring machine tools positioning accuracy ・Measuring flatness of surfaces and assemblies
・ Measuring runout for rotary shafts ・Confirming machine tool feed distance
