Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shipbuilding technology, and in particular relates to an auxiliary device and method for repairing the base surface differential of a vernier caliper. Background Technology
[0002] The vernier caliper's scale body and vernier frame are made of the same material. After frequent use, the scale body's scale body will experience localized wear. When inspecting the scale body's scale body using the light gap method with a knife-edge ruler on the outer measuring jaws, it is often found that the middle is concave, the ends are convex, and there are differences in flatness. When checking the parallelism of the scale body's scale body with an outside micrometer, it is found that the parallelism does not meet the requirements. The scale body and vernier frame are very unstable and inflexible when pulled together. All of the above deviations will cause indication errors. In the past, manual grinding with a metal backing was mainly used. Generally, the repair work of the scale body's scale body is quite large, and the flatness is difficult to restore, or expensive tools such as grinding machines are purchased for repair.
