[China Aluminum Network] Ensuring the quality of aluminum profiles requires the use of precise measuring tools during product inspection. However, if these tools are not properly maintained, they may become inaccurate or damaged, leading to a lack of control over product quality. Therefore, it's essential to learn how to maintain and care for these instruments effectively: 3D Printing Ceramics,RBSic 3D Printing,3D Printing Service,Ceramic Components Using 3D Printing Ningbo FLK Technology Co., Ltd. , https://www.flk-global.com
1. Avoid using grinding stones or emery cloth on the measuring surfaces or engraved lines of the gauge. Only authorized personnel should handle maintenance, disassembly, or repairs. Unauthorized tampering can damage the tool and compromise its accuracy.
2. Store measuring tools in a clean, dry area, away from vibrations, corrosive gases, extreme temperature fluctuations, and magnetic fields. Always keep the gauges in their protective cases, and never store anything else with them to prevent contamination or damage.
3. Before measuring, remove any burrs from the workpiece surface. Failing to do so can cause unnecessary wear on the measuring tool and affect measurement precision.
4. Never touch the measuring surface with your hands. Oils, sweat, or dirt from your skin can cause corrosion or reduce the tool’s lifespan. Keep the measuring instruments separate from other tools and metal objects to avoid accidental damage.
5. Do not use caliper tips as a scriber or compass. Avoid twisting the jaws or using the tool as a clamp, as this can distort the measurements and damage the device.
6. After use, clean the measuring tool thoroughly to remove any debris, chips, or residue. Loosen the locking mechanism and apply anti-rust oil if the tool will not be used for an extended period (over a month). Always store the gauge in its case and ensure that it is handled only by trained professionals. Regular calibration and annual audits by authorized agencies are also necessary to maintain reliability and compliance.
By following these guidelines, you can extend the life of your measuring tools and ensure accurate, consistent results in quality control processes.
