Description: |
| Abstract:
An in-process measuring gage for use in connection with turning machines and the like wherein the gage is self-contained and adjusting for producing a precision output signal indicative of workpiece size. The gage has a column and a pair of arms attached to slides with the arms being normally biased and gravity actuated toward each other for maintaining continuous contact with a workpiece regardless of whether or not the workpiece is round. The arms while fixedly held in an outwardly projecting position include means for swinging transversely to an out of the way position in the event the arms encounter excessive resistance or an obstruction. The arms may be set in a predetermined position with clamping means and an arrangement is provided for permitting a certain amount of float by the arms so that they may move longitudinally to prevent damage should the arms be brought into contact with an oversized workpiece when they are clamped in the fixed position. |
