    In this manual, we refer to crometers. Essentially, the instrument on which you mount the 190 or 160 as the "Test In- the M160 consists of two strument". M190’s mounted perpen- dicular to each other.

    1. With the micrometer mounted, place a bifilar target about three feet away from the Test Instrument and at least nominally perpen- dicular to its line of sight. 2. Loosen the micrometer clamping screw just enough to be able to Model 190 and Model 160 Family of Optical Micrometers...
  • Page 7: Range Accuracy

    rotate the micrometer smoothly about the end of the Test Instru- ment barrel. If your Test Instrument barrel has an indexing pin, slide the micrometer forward slightly so you can move it easily past the pin. 3. Set the micrometer drum to zero, then use the tangent screws to register the measuring reticle line (the line that moves when you turn the micrometer drum) precisely on the target.

  • Page 9 Figure 1 sides, and backlash and zero centering are within the tolerances stated in those sections above. When all these conditions are satis- factory, continue with the steps below. When the range is symmetrical, but too long or too short, the ra- dius of travel of the sector pin is incorrect.
  • Page 10 The principles of calibration for the Model 190 single- M160 Dual-Axis Micrometer axis micrometer also apply to the Model 160 dual-axis micrometer. Essentially, the M160 consists of two Calibration M190’s mounted perpendicular to each other. There- fore it is a simple matter to perform all previously de- scribed calibration procedures on the front micrometer first, then repeat them for the rear micrometer.

    The M190 or M160 must be oriented to track the micrometers paral- lel to the instrument reticle. 1. Mount the adapter to the objective end of the telescope, then mount the micrometer on the adapter approximately parallel to the instrument reticle.

Rotate the micrometer drum to track the instrument crosshair across a reference target. If the instrument reticle stays in regis- ter with the target, the adjustment is complete. If not, determine which way to clock the micrometer around the barrel to correct the tracking: 4.
