STARRETT 120A CALIPER Calibration Service
This specific caliper is favored by technicians for its accuracy in measuring distances and dimensions in a range of applications, from quality control to assembly processes. Calibration is critical for the STARRETT 120A as it ensures that the tool maintains its specified accuracy of ±0.001″, which is vital for ensuring components fit and function correctly within tight tolerances.
What Gets Calibrated on the STARRETT 120A
During calibration, key parameters validated include the overall dimensional accuracy, repeatability of measurement, and the calibration of the dial gauge itself to ensure precision readings. Each of these parameters must meet the specified standards, ensuring the device operates effectively and reliably according to default calibration standards.
Why Calibration Matters for the STARRETT 120A
Over time, mechanical components within the STARRETT 120A can experience wear and tear, which may lead to inaccuracies in measurement. Factors such as spring fatigue can result in the caliper not retracting accurately, compromising measurement reliability. If left uncalibrated, this degradation could significantly affect the quality of work produced.
Maintaining repeatability in measurements is particularly important in industries that rely on precise dimensions and tolerances. By ensuring that the STARRETT 120A is calibrated regularly, organizations can uphold stringent quality control standards required in manufacturing environments, including compliance with regulations like ISO 9001 and others that govern accurate record-keeping and equipment maintenance.
Common Use Environments
The STARRETT 120A is commonly utilized in manufacturing sectors, engineering firms, and quality assurance environments where precise measurement of dimensions is essential. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing often mandate regular calibration of tools like calipers to adhere to quality standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and AS9100, ensuring that all products meet necessary safety and quality benchmarks.
