1. Application
The LMM 300 – Length measuring machine is a digital metrological instrument for direct
measurements. Its high accuracy is not only obtained by the exact adoption of the Abbe
comparator principle, but also by using a high Precision measuring principle.
A rugged casting construction and precise guide-ways also make for the high accuracy of the
machine. The bed is designed of high extension capability for numerous measurements.
The LMM 300 is mainly used in gauge and manufacturing industries, in stand rooms of
engineering, automobile industries, calibration laboratories. Main field of application is
measurements of gauges, which will retain their importance in production and
measurement control.
This includes:
Internal measurements of
• Plain ring Gauge
• Thread Ring Gauge – Effective Diameter
External measurements of
• Plain Plug Gauge
• Thread Plug Gauge – Effective Diameter
• Taper Thread Plug Gauge – Effective Diameter
• Gauge Blocks, Pin Gauge etc
The LMM 300 – Length measuring machine meets the increased demands made on
accuracy, efficiency and ease of operation.

3. Description
3.1 Measuring Principle:

In order to ensure the high accuracy of the Length Measuring Machine, the principles laid
down by Ernst Abbe in 1890 have rigorously been complied with.
These principles are ……..
1. Measurement, whether by contact or line of sight setting must always be based on
the use of a graduate scale, with which the distance to be measured can directly be
compared.
2. The measuring instrument must be arranged that the distance to be measured is a
straight line continuation of the measuring scale.
With the length measuring machine lengths up to 100mm are directly measured by
comparing the part with a precision steel scale which is sensed by the sensing head in Tran
illumination. The scale is rigidly connected with the hosing. The ruling is located in the
extended measuring axis, thus following the Abbe measuring principle. The sensing head is
rigidly connected with the measuring spindle so that the sensing head automatically
performs the axial displacements of the spindle. These displacements are indicated by a
display unit and are read off as measuring values by the operator.

3.2 Construction of Instrument
3.2.1 Abbe Measuring unit.

The Abbe measuring unit contains the measuring spindle as well as the digital measuring
system. The measuring system operates in transillumination with a steel scale as master
having a gauge length of 100mm.
The scale pitch is 20=m. The incremental track & the reference mark in the middle of the
glass scale’s measuring range are sensed when the photoelectric sensor incorporated in the
sensing head is shifted. The output signals thus generated are supplied to the interface
units.
The effective Thermal Expansion Coefficient is 11.5 µm/m/°C
The measuring spindle moves within the housing of the Abbe measuring unit on antifriction
bearing free from backlash and almost frictionless. The sensing head is rigidly connected
with the measuring spindle and automatically performs the axial displacements of the
spindle.
The Coarse adjustment knob is provided to the move the measuring spindle fast towards
left or right direction to cover entire measuring range. Coarse adjustment knob, when
rotated in clockwise direction it moves measuring spindle towards right direction and when
rotated in anti-clockwise direction it moves measuring spindle towards left direction.
It is recommended to move the spindle by coarse adjustment knob, when fine adjustment
locking screw is disengaged.
The same knob is used for applying measuring pressure when using machine for dual arm
measurements, i.e. external & internal measurements.
A Pressure ring is provided to the knob. The pressure can be applied for external
measurement by pulling & rotating the pressure ring towards right side, however the
pressure can be applied for internal measurement by pulling & rotating the pressure ring
towards left side
For sensitivity displacing the spindle in axial direction, Find adjustment knob is provided. It
can be used only, if fine adjustment locking screw is engaged. The high transmission ratio of
the fine positioning drive causes a slow motion of the spindle.

3.2.2 Bed with adjustable table

The bed with height adjustment table is assembled is such a way that it maintains
perpendicularity wrt measuring axis. Its geometry meets all demands of static as to
resistance to deflection so that also parts up to weight of 5 kg can be mounted on the
adjustable table without affecting measurement results.
Y-axis adjustment - The bed has provided a Y axis positioning screw whose scale reads to
0.01mm. The travel range of Y axis is 20mm. The bed maintains the alignment wrt
measuring axis during Y axis movement.
Z-axis adjustment - The front of the bed is provided with Z axis positioning screw for the
table height adjustment.
The orientation scale located behind the Z axis positioning screw reads to 0.5mm. By means
of clamping knob for Z axis, the table can be secured against vertical displacements. The
small hand wheel actuates a weight compensation device incorporated in the bed. This
compensation device provides easy table height adjustment, even in case of heavy parts.
The central part of the bed houses the motion transfer elements for table height
adjustment.
The adjustable table performs the following movements required for exact measurements:
Vertical Adjustments: 0-75mm
The adjustable table is provided with two T-slots for fastening the objector clamps the one
sided V bearing plate.
