SINE BAR

Generally Sine bars are made from High Carbon, High Chromium corrosion resistant
steels.
The normal distance between the axes of the rollers is exactly 100 mm, 200 mm or 300
mm.
Value.

For better result, both the rollers could

also be placed on slip gauges of h1 and
h2 respectively. Then,
Sin =

LIMITATIONS OF SINE BAR

SOURCES OF ERRORS IN SINE BAR

1. Error in distance between roller centers.
2. Error in slip gauge combination used for angle setting.
3. Error in parallelism between gauging surface and plane of roller axis.
4. Error in equality in size of rollers and cylindrical accuracy in the form
of rollers.
5. Error in parallelism of roller axes with each other.
6. Error in flatness of the upper surface of the bar.

SLIP GAUGES OR GAUGE BLOCKS

Slip gauges are universally accepted End standard of length in

industry.
These are rectangular blocks of high grade steel
With close tolerances and maximum resistance
to wear.
Gauge blocks or Slip gauges are used for
a) Direct precise measurement
b) For checking accuracy of Vernier calipers micrometers
c) Setting up a comparator to a specific dimension.
d) For measuring angle of work piece with sine bar.
e) To check gap between parallel locations such as in gap gauges or
between two mating parts.

Measuring Jaws
It is supplied in pairs i.e. Type A and Type B. type A
jaws are used for both internal and external
measurements and type B jaws are used for external
measurement only.
Scriber and Centre point:
It is used in conjunction with the holder and slip gauges for
very accurate marking out purposes.
Holder and Base:
Holders are used holding rigidly combination of slip gauges
with in their range. Base is designed in such a manner that
holder can be attached to it normal w.r.t. the wringing
surface.

AUTOCOLLIMATOR

Applications of Auto-Collimator
1. Measurement of straightness and flatness of surfaces.
2. Precise angular indexing
3. Calibrating polygons.
4. Assessment of squareness and parallelism of components.
5. Measurement of small linear displacements.
