Autocollimator and reflector
Identify the autocollimator model, angular range, readout and reflector used. State whether one or two axes require results and how the reflector is mounted during the application. Include the working angular interval and any recorded zero offset. Calibration of the angular indication and an alignment survey using that instrument are separate requests; the quotation must identify which is being reviewed.
Ball bar and its reference length
For a ball bar, distinguish calibration of the displacement transducer or reference assembly from a circular test carried out on a machine. List extensions, ball mounts, software and the reference device used with the kit. Send the current correction or calibration record. Machine-test results also need the test plane, programmed path and operating settings to remain identifiable with the machine.
Laser interferometer configurations
A laser interferometer enquiry should name the laser head, optics, receiver and environmental compensation unit. List the attached temperature and pressure sensors separately. Indicate whether the required work concerns the reference system or measurements of a machine axis. A certificate for one sensor does not describe the entire optical system; agree which components, quantities and configurations the reported result will cover.
Bench centre working arrangement
For a bench centre, show the centres, their spacing and the workpiece support arrangement. Identify the indicator or comparator used to observe the part. State whether the request concerns centre alignment, an individual dimension or an assembled runout check against a reference. The bench is a locating arrangement, so a general instrument name is insufficient to define its measurement requirement.
Mandrel and test mandrel references
For a mandrel or test mandrel, provide the drawing, identifying marks, taper or seating details and the surfaces used as references. Name the requested characteristics, such as diameter, straightness or runout relative to specified datums. A workholding mandrel and a certified machine-test artefact need different records. Keep the existing reference certificate with the enquiry and state how the tool is supported.
Length measuring machine
Give the length measuring machine's model, travel and contact arrangement, including anvils or internal measuring accessories. Specify the working interval and reference standards used by the laboratory. Measuring force, seating and the indicated displacement may form separate parts of the enquiry. An external comparison setup should not be assumed to cover an internal accessory without identifying the complete arrangement and required result.
What your wobble meter measures
The term wobble meter can refer to different shop arrangements. Send a photograph showing the part support and sensing contact, and state the quantity and unit recorded on the inspection sheet. Identify any rotational axis, indicator and reference part. RTS can then review the requested indication or geometric result rather than assign a generic calibration to an unspecified fixture.
Plan the measurement record
Attach the relevant drawing or machine acceptance procedure and name the engineer who will interpret the results. RTS will confirm which work can be offered and by which reporting laboratory; these descriptions do not add machine-system capabilities to the published scope. Include the plant location, access window and any reference kit that must remain available for another line.
