. Inspect the bore gage visually as follows:

Check for damage and excessive wear.

Check for worn contact tips on gage andextension rods.

Check for clear bezel, legible dial face.

Inspect for proper function of the bezeladjustment and lock.

Inspect for missing or lose screws.

Check for smoothness of travel by depressingthe bore gage contact point throughout theentire travel range. Repair any gages withrestricted movement prior to calibration.

2. Clean both of the receiver pads and the

mounting surfaces of the bore gage fixtureusing the cloth and ZEP I.D. Red cleaner.

3. Locate the bore gage fixture. With the bridge

facing to the right, place the bore gage fixture

against the left receiver pad shoulder.

Setup

Materials Needed:

MIC TRAC MT-3000 base unit and CPU readout 5/32" hex wrench

Bore gage 30 in/lb torque wrench

Bore gage fixture (TF-VN Block) and cap screws Cloth

Setup

4. While holding the bore gage fixture against thereceiver pad shoulder, insert the two cap

screws into the holes on either side of the

fixture.

5. While applying pressure toward the receiver

pad shoulder, use a 5/32" hex wrench to

slightly tighten the screws.

6. Use a 30 in/lbs torque wrench to secure the

cap screws.

7. Clean the flat face anvil and place it against the

right receiver pad shoulder.

8. While holding the anvil against the receiver padshoulder, insert the two cap screws withwashers into the holes on either side of theanvil.

9. While applying pressure toward the receiver

pad shoulder, use a 5/32" hex wrench to

slightly tighten the screws.

10. Use a 30 in/lb torque wrench to secure the capscrews.

Setup

11. Loosen the knob on top of the bore gage fixture

to allow the bore gage to slip under the bridge.

Note: Attach an extension rod on the bore gage

before mounting.

12. Insert the bore gage extension under the bridge

and gently tighten the knob.

13. Turn the coarse adjust knob counterclockwise

until the contact point of the bore gage touches

the flat face anvil.

14. Lock the coarse adjust lock.

15. Turn the fine adjust knob clockwise until the

bore gage dial travels of a full revolution.

16. Turn the bore gage dial to align the needle with

zero.

17. Press the PLUS/MINUS pad on the CPU panel

to display positive values during calibration.

Seiko printer (optional) Lightweight gage oil

Bore gage Gage Calibration Record

1. Press the INT (internal measurement) pad onthe front panel of the CPU.

2. Press the ZERO pad on the CPU panel twice.The readout displays 0.00000.

3. Turn the fine adjust knob clockwise to the first

calibration value.

Note: If you pass the calibration value, turn the

dial back and approach the value again,

from the same direction. This practice will

increase the accuracy of the calibration.

4. If you have a Seiko Printer attached to your

MIC TRAC for printing a permanent record of

calibration measurements, press the PRINT

pad on the CPU panel.

5. Record any deviations on the Gage Calibration

Record or in-house calibration report. Continue

with remaining measurements.

6. Remove the bore gage and continue with the

same calibration process for the next bore

gage.

7. After calibrating all bore gages, remove the

bore gage fixture and the flat face anvil from

the MT-3000. Oil the fixture and anvil and

return them to the storage case.

1. Start ComWin32 software by double clickingthe ComWin32 icon. The ComWin RS232Handler window displays.

Note: This software allows the computer to

read the output from the serial port ofthe CPU.

2. Click the down arrow to select the propersetting for the COM port the computer is using.For example, general2 is the setting for COMport 2.

Note: To have measured values from the

calibration recorded in CALSPEX, be surethat the box beside Press Add to ListButton is selected.

3. Minimize ComWin32. This program must berunning while using CALSPEX.

4. Start CALSPEX by double clicking theCALSPEX icon.

5. Click the New Calibration Report icon and the

Pick List window displays.

The gages available in the Pick List are thoseyou have created yourself or gage typesprovided by CALSPEX.
