Centering Indicator Kit - 7 Piece
SERIES 297

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 main body with a dial indicator mounted at a right angle. As the workpiece rotates, the indicator measures the deviation from the center. By adjusting the workpiece until the indicator reads zero at all positions, the center is accurately determined.

Applications

Milling Operations: Used to ensure that a workpiece is properly centered on the milling machine&s table, relative to the spindle, before machining begins.
Lathe Operations: Ensures that a cylindrical workpiece is aligned with the lathe&s spindle axis for accurate turning, facing, and other operations.
Quality Control: Employed in inspection processes to verify the concentricity and alignment of machined parts.
Tool Setup: Helps in setting up cutting tools and fixtures 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

Applications

Machining and Metalworking: Used to hold the dial indicator securely while measuring the accuracy of workpieces, such as checking for flatness, parallelism, and concentricity.
Quality Control: Essential in inspection processes to verify the dimensional accuracy of parts, ensuring they meet specified tolerances.
Tool and Die Making: Used to set up and measure precise distances, depths, and alignments in the creation of tools and dies.
Metrology: Employed in metrology labs for high-precision measurements and calibration tasks.

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.
