CLEANLINESS- is vital to insure a long and useful life for all types of precision equipment. It is also extremely critical to achieve accurate calibration readings from your instrumentation. Most important is to keep the precision finished surfaces free from dust, abrasive particles and chips along with the surfaces on which the equipment will be used.
RUST AND CORROSION- caused by moisture, humidity and perspiration are a continuing concern for ferrous metals. Perspiration is particularly corrosive because of the salt content. Equipment should be carefully wiped after handling. When not in use it should lightly oiled or coated with a rust preventative. For extended periods of storage of long-life rust preventative is recommended.
PERIODIC CLEANING- of aluminum, cast iron and steel products with a specially formulated metal-cleaner polish is recommended. BUSCH PRECISION Industrial Metal Cleaner with silicone applied several times a year will keep precision surfaces free from corrosion and discoloration. Where corrosion has started, this cleaner-polish will remove it, restore and protect the finish.
CAREFUL HANDLING- is also critical to preserving the accuracy of all precision equipment. Even seemingly minor bumps or damage can disturb tolerances measured in tenths. Equipment that has been dropped or otherwise subjected to a sharp blow or shock should be carefully inspected for surface damage and checked to determine if accuracy has been affected.
All surface plate tolerances meet or exceed Fed. Spec. GGG-P-463C and MIL-STD45662A. A certificate of accuracy traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, is furnished with each plate.
Offered in 12 standard sizes, three ledge styles and three accuracy grades, in black, charcoal or pink granite, you can order the ideal combination of specifications to meet your particular inspection need. Inquires for special sizes are invited.
For operations demanding ultra-precision inspection, Ceramic Gaging products provide super-accuracy along with longevity dividends, making them a wise investment in quintessential quality assurance.
