Overcome production or set-up difficulties inherent in plain V-Blocks. B-Blocks overcome geometric limitations. For inspection set-ups not otherwise possible using plain v-blocks.
Enables you to inspect and detect out-of-round conditions and lobes with no damage to parts and no damage to blocks Accuracy of Balls: 25 millionths of an inch sphericity on small and medium set. 50 millionths of an inch on large set Overall accuracy of matched pairs ±5 microns Balls Rockwell C-62 surface finish 0.2 microinches Calibrated balls are certified Class 40 cast iron used on base and housing, heat stabilized and seasoned Spacers are hardened through and precision ground by pairs Pair of blocks assembled using metrology equipment 3 sizes with ranges of: 3/64" to 2-1/2", 3/32" to 5", 3/16" to 10" and up Sold in matched pairs complete with clamps (for use when machining)
Balls undergo slight elastic deformation when parts are loaded so parts will not be damaged while being inspected or produced Detection of lobes and superimposed lobes made easy Handles diameters up to 15 inches Increased contact area due to special geometric spacing of balls in blocks 8 contact points per pair of blocks share load distribution Balls are self-aligning and hard wearing 1 each precision spacer per block provides 2 different angles per pair Simply turn each block 90° and inspect component using both angles Special inspection set ups using cylinder squares now possible
Important Note: Balls are fixed in blocks and are NOT designed to rotate in use.
