6-2. Measuring Linear Compensation Amount
Note
The following applies when the resolution is 0.0005mm (0.00002").
1
Place a block gauge a on the machine table until the block gauge a assumes the same
temperature as the machine table. Then touch the surface B of the block gauge a with a block
gauge b.
Example: L = 250 mm (L = 9.84252 in)
2
Touch the surface A of the block gauge a with the probe of an electric micrometer or dial gauge
and move the machine table until the meter of the micrometer or the dial gauge reads "0", where
the datum point is obtained. Simultaneously reset the counter unit.
