3.6 Adjusting the Thickness Gauge to Different Materials
Using different combinations of test weight and feeler shape, you can adjust the
thickness gauge to check a wide variety of materials.
3.6.1 Changing the Feeler
The feeler is screwed to the PRESSURE DIE.
1. Hold the PRESSURE DIE with one hand to prevent twisting.
2. Screw off the FEELER with the other hand.
3. Place the FEELER you want to use in the center of the MEASURING TABLE.
Then lower the PRESSURE DIE until it reaches into the threaded hole.
4. Hold the PRESSURE DIE with one hand and screw the
FEELER in by about ½ revolution.
5. Move the PRESSURE DIE up, hold it with your hand and carefully
screw the FEELER all the way in.
6. After a change of the FEELER, zero adjustment has to be carried out.
The MEASURING TABLE and the FEELER have to be exactly parallel.
3.6.2 Load Change
On some models (see chapter 2) you can change the pressure applied to the mate-
rial. This is done by placing an additional weight on the FIXTURE for ADDITIONAL
WEIGHTS.
Use only original weights supplied by the manufacturer to ensure that the
correct measuring force is applied according to the relevant standard.
3.8 Software (optional)
3.8.1 Overview
