OPTICAL BEVEL PROTRACTOR

INTRODUCTION TO
SINE BAR

SINE BAR USE

The sine bar is used either for very accurate angular

measurements or for locating work at a given angle.
The sine bar is especially useful in measuring or
checking angles when the limit of accuracy is 5
minutes or less

USE OF SINE BAR

1. LOCATING ANY WORK TO A GIVEN ANGLE

2.CHECKING OR MEASURING UNKNOWN ANGLES

MEASURING ANGLES FOR LARGE SIZE COMPONENTS

CLINOMETER

ometer is a spirit level mounted on a rotary member and the angle of

ation of the rotary member relative to its base is the measurement of t
e circular scale

-used for setting inclinable table on jig boring machines and

angular
work on grinding machines etc.

Disadvantage of levels

There are four principal

disadvantage of levels
1. General ignorance about their proper
use and application
2. The time required to settle down
3. Their single sensitivity characteristic
4. They do not produce any output that
can be used as loading for a
measurement system

ANGLE GUAGES

Angle Gauge Blocks permit

fast, simple, and accurate
measurement of angles.
