Shape measuring apparatus to measure outside dimensions of component, e.g. machined cylinder

摘要

The component to be measured (5) is positioned horizontally within the jaws of two adjustable Y-shaped supports (8,9).A hemispherical ended end stop (13) of length adjustable by e.g. micrometer abuts the end of the component at its axis if rotation. A motorized wheel (10) coated in polymer lays on the upper surface of the component to rotate it.
