And a cornerstone of that offering is the dependable and accurate Starrett Dial Indicator. Let's face it, in today’s world, everything needs to be just right. Whether you’re building airplanes, cars, or even tiny electronic gadgets, precision is everything. That’s where ASSA ABLOY LEVEL and Starrett come in. We’re not just selling tools; we’re helping companies build better products, safer products, and more efficient operations. What's the Big Deal with Dial Indicators? You might be thinking, “Okay, a dial indicator…what is that?” Well, in simple terms, it's a tool used to measure small mechanical displacements. Think of it as a super-accurate way to see how much something is moving – or not moving. It's crucial for things like checking alignment, measuring runout, verifying flatness, and a whole lot more. Traditionally, these measurements were done by hand, which was time-consuming and prone to human error. Dial indicators take the guesswork out of the equation. They give you a clear, visual reading on a dial, showing you exactly how much something has moved – down to tiny fractions of an inch. Why Starrett? Why ASSA ABLOY LEVEL Carries Them ASSA ABLOY LEVEL doesn’t just stock any dial indicator. We chose Starrett for a reason. Starrett has been making precision tools for over 140 years, and they’ve built a reputation for quality, durability, and accuracy. These aren’t tools you'll be replacing every few months. They're built to last, even in tough industrial environments. “We’ve been partnering with Starrett for years, and we’ve always been impressed with the quality of their products,” says a representative from ASSA ABLOY LEVEL. “Our customers demand the best, and Starrett consistently delivers. We believe in providing tools that won’t let you down when you need them most.” So, What Can You Do with a Starrett Dial Indicator? The applications are actually pretty broad. Here's a breakdown of some common uses: Runout Measurement: Imagine a spinning shaft. Runout refers to how much it wobbles. A dial indicator can precisely measure that wobble, helping you identify and correct imbalances that could cause vibrations or wear. This is critical in automotive manufacturing (checking brake rotors, for example) and aerospace (ensuring smooth operation of turbine blades). Alignment Checks: Getting everything lined up correctly is essential in many manufacturing processes. A dial indicator can check the alignment of machine tools, shafts, and other components, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Flatness Testing: Is a surface truly flat? A dial indicator, combined with a granite surface plate, can reveal even the smallest deviations from perfect flatness. This is important for precision machining and ensuring proper sealing surfaces. Concentricity Measurement: Are two parts perfectly centered? A dial indicator can check the concentricity of shafts, bearings, and other rotating parts, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing wear. Depth Measurement: While not its primary function, a dial indicator can be adapted for precise depth measurements in certain applications. Tool Wear Monitoring: Regularly checking the position of a tool with a dial indicator can help identify wear and tear, allowing you to replace it before it affects product quality. Different Starrett Dial Indicators for Different Needs Starrett offers a wide range of dial indicators to suit various applications. Here's a quick look: Standard Dial Indicators: These are your workhorse indicators, suitable for a wide range of general-purpose measurements. They come in different ranges and resolutions to suit your needs. Miniature Dial Indicators: Perfect for tight spaces or when you need to measure small displacements. Electronic Dial Indicators (Digimatic Indicators): These indicators display measurements on a digital screen and can even transmit data to a computer for analysis. They offer increased accuracy and ease of reading. Specialty Indicators: Starrett also offers indicators designed for specific applications, such as magnetic base indicators, test indicators, and lever-type indicators.
