FAQs
What is the accuracy of the included dial indicator?
The included dial indicator has an accuracy of 0.01mm, providing precise measurements for detailed work.
Can this stand be used on non-metallic surfaces?
No, the magnetic base requires a ferrous metal surface to function and provide a secure hold.
What is the maximum height the stand can reach?
The maximum height of the stand is 175mm.
How strong is the magnetic base?
The magnetic base has a pull force of 60kg, offering strong holding power on appropriate surfaces.
Can I use my own dial indicator with this stand?
Yes, the stand is designed to be compatible with standard dial indicators that have a suitable mounting stem.
How do I clean the magnetic base?
Wipe the magnetic base with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before engaging the magnet or placing it on a surface.
What is the advantage of the V-grooved base?
The V-groove allows for secure and stable mounting on cylindrical objects, such as shafts or pipes, in addition to flat surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic base not holding securely
Ensure the surface is clean, flat, and made of ferrous metal. Check that the magnetic switch is fully engaged. Clean the magnetic surface of the stand.
Articulated arms are loose and won't hold position
Tighten the adjustment knobs on the articulated arm joints. If the issue persists, contact support.
Dial indicator reading seems inaccurate
Verify the dial indicator itself is functioning correctly and calibrated. Ensure the stand is securely mounted and the probe is making proper contact with the surface being measured.
Difficulty achieving fine adjustments
Ensure the fine adjustment mechanism is clean and free of debris. Try gently moving the arm to ensure the mechanism is properly seated before making adjustments.
