Tools needed for the installation check
For a dial indicator used to check runout, give its travel, graduation and whether the contact is a plunger or lever. If an outside micrometer will be used for shaft inspection, include the shaft size and the range marked on the frame. The two tools can have different release dates even when they belong to the same installation kit.
Returning tools before machine acceptance
Give the phase and plot for the installation, the works PIN and the date the fitter next needs the tools. If the gauges are still at a supplier, give its dispatch address as well. For a transfer from an IMT Manesar toolroom, identify which cases must return to Manesar and which should follow the machine to Tumakuru.
Check the tool list against the installation drawing
A packing list describes what was shipped; an installation instruction describes the measurements needed before acceptance. Compare the two before booking calibration. For each indicator or micrometer, list the working interval and the attachment used to reach the feature on the drawing. A tool supplied as a spare can have the same model but a different range.
Record any damage noticed when the case is opened and retain the manufacturer's identification. Ask for an assessment first if movement is rough or a display is unreliable. If calibration requires a setting standard or special probe, identify it before the rest of the installation kit is divided between contractors. Keep the receiving engineer's contact with the return instructions.
