CALIBRATION OF THE DIGI GAUGE
Calibration is made by the included adjusting piece. Beware
that the adjusting piece is marked with the pitch equivalent
to the threaded insert mounted in the gauge.
Switch on the DIGI Gauge and set measurement for mm
or inches. Then hold the adjusting piece firmly against the
end face of the “go” insert and the contact face of the
measuring sleeve. Briefly press the button marked “set”.
The digi gauge is now correctly calibrated to zero.
Standard gages are made from steel
Chrome
Doubles the wear life of steel
TiAlN
Wears about 10X longer that standard steel.
TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) coating has a hardness of 3300 HV and is temperature resistant up to 800 C. It has improved lubricity over steel or chrome and is very suitable especially for cast-iron and aluminum alloys and reduces friction and adhesion of plastic materials to molds. One of the advantages of TiAlN is that you are able to see the wear. The coating is black.
Dlc Ta-c
Wears about 10X longer that standard steel.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon)
ta-C (amorphous tetrahedral carbon)
DLC coatings significantly reduce friction losses, wear and seizure risks, regardless of the lubricant characteristics.
This makes it possible to keep up with the latest and most severe technical developments whilst preserving the exclusive properties of DLC ta-C.
The value of Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating accrues from its ability to provide some of the properties of diamond to surfaces of almost any material. The primary desirable quality is hardness, wear resistance, and slickness (DLC film friction coefficient against polished steel ranges from 0.05 to 0.20.
DLC exists in seven different forms. All seven contain significant amounts of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. The reason that there are different types is that even diamond can be found in two crystalline polytypes. The more common one has its carbon atoms arranged in a cubic lattice, while the less common one, lonsdaleite, has a hexagonal lattice. By mixing these polytypes in various ways at the nanoscale level of structure, DLC coatings can be made that at the same time are amorphous, flexible, and yet purely sp3 bonded “diamond”. The hardest, strongest, and slickest is such a mixture, known as tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) can be considered to be the “pure” form of DLC, since it consists only of sp3 bonded carbon atoms.
