ASSA ABLOY LEVEL & Starrett Dial Indicators: Precision Tools for a Modern World

ASSA ABLOY LEVEL LLC, based in New Haven, Connecticut, is a recognized leader in precision measurement solutions. We're part of the larger ASSA ABLOY Group, a global powerhouse known for access solutions – think locks, doors, and everything related to secure openings. But ASSA ABLOY LEVEL focuses on a different kind of precision – the kind you need for manufacturing, quality control, and maintaining accuracy in all sorts of industries. We've been around for a long time, quietly building a reputation for reliable, high-quality instruments, and one of our key offerings, built in partnership with Starrett, is a line of dial indicators that just keeps getting better. Why Dial Indicators Still Matter in Today's High-Tech World You might be thinking, "Dial indicators? Aren't those a bit old-school?" And you'd be right to ask! We live in an age of lasers, digital readouts, and automated inspection. But here's the thing: dial indicators are still hugely valuable. They're versatile, reliable, and often the simplest, most practical way to get a precise measurement. They don't require batteries, complex programming, or a constant connection to a computer. They're grab-and-go tools that can be used in just about any environment, from the shop floor to the lab. ASSA ABLOY LEVEL & Starrett: A Partnership Built on Quality ASSA ABLOY LEVEL doesn’t just sell dial indicators; we partner with Starrett, a name synonymous with precision measurement for over 140 years. Starrett makes the core indicator, and ASSA ABLOY LEVEL adds its own expertise in application and customization. This means you get the best of both worlds: Starrett’s renowned manufacturing quality, and ASSA ABLOY LEVEL’s understanding of how these tools are used in real-world scenarios. We take that classic Starrett quality and make it even more adaptable to your needs. What Makes Our Starrett Dial Indicators Stand Out? So what specifically are we offering? Our Starrett dial indicators come in a range of sizes and configurations, but they all share a few key features: Accuracy: Let’s be real, that’s the whole point. These indicators are built to tight tolerances, providing repeatable and reliable measurements. They’re calibrated to meet or exceed industry standards. We're talking about accuracies down to 0.0005 inches – that's pretty precise! Durability: These aren't throwaway tools. They're built to withstand the rigors of daily use in demanding environments. The housings are often made from hardened stainless steel, meaning they can handle a bit of abuse without losing calibration. Versatility: We offer a variety of mounting options – from standard dovetail bases to magnetic bases and even specialized fixtures. This allows you to use the indicator in a wide range of applications. You can measure runout, flatness, concentricity, and all sorts of other critical dimensions. Easy to Read: The dials are clear, crisp, and easy to read, even in low-light conditions. We offer both imperial (inch) and metric scales, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Range of Options: Need a small indicator for tight spaces? We've got it. Need a large indicator with a long travel range? We've got that too. We offer indicators with different travel ranges, stem diameters, and other features to meet your specific requirements. What Can You Do With a Starrett Dial Indicator? Seriously, the applications are almost endless. Here are just a few examples: Machining & Manufacturing: Check the runout of a shaft, measure the flatness of a surface, or verify the concentricity of a hole. These indicators are essential for ensuring that parts are manufactured to precise specifications. Quality Control: Inspect incoming materials, verify the dimensions of finished products, and identify any defects. Maintenance & Repair: Check the alignment of machinery, diagnose problems with bearings, and ensure that equipment is running smoothly. Tooling & Fixture Building: Precisely position and adjust tools and fixtures for optimal performance. Automotive Repair: Measure brake rotor runout, check the alignment of suspension components, and diagnose engine problems. HVAC: Check the alignment of fans and pumps, diagnose problems with ductwork, and ensure that systems are operating efficiently.
