Abstract
A method for adjusting the position of the probes of a plug gauge having one or more plugs fixed to a support. The plugs are coaxially fixed to the support with great precision and subsequently the position of the probes is adjusted taking the plugs as references. A plug gauge for actuating the method comprises measuring heads adjustably fixed to the support and annular plugs having limited heights for permitting the accessibility of the measuring heads.
Claims19
A method for adjusting the positions of the probes of a plug gauge having a support adapted to define a geometrical axis of the plug gauge;
- a protection plug adapted to be fixed to the support, the plug defining radial holes;
- and measuring heads adapted to be fixed to the support, the measuring heads including said probes and means for adjusting the rest position of the probes with respect to the support, the probes being arranged in part within said plug and passing through said holes, comprising the steps of fixing the plug to the support in a coaxial position with said geometrical axis, and of subsequently adjusting the positions of the probes with respect to the support taking said holes as spatial references.
A plug gauge comprising a support adapted to define a geometrical axis of the plug gauge;
- a protection plug adapted to be fixed to the support;
- and measuring heads adapted to be fixed to the support, the measuring heads including probes adapted to cooperate with the surface of the part to be checked and adjusting means for adjusting the rest position of the probes with respect to the support, and wherein said plug has a shape substantially annular, with a limited height with respect to the height of the gauge, for protecting the probes while permitting the accessibility of the measuring heads, the plug defining radial openings for the passage of the probes, said radial openings providing spatial references for adjusting the probes with respect to the support.
