1. Application
The LMM 300 T – 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 cat iron 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 T 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 gauges
• Thread Ring Gauges – Effective Diameter
• Taper plain ring gauges
• Taper Thread ring gauges – Effective Diameter
External measurements of
• Plain Plug gauges
• Thread Plug Gauges – Effective Diameter
• Taper Thread Plug Gauges – Effective Diameter
• Gauge Blocks, Pin Gauges etc
The LMM 300 T – 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 1980 have rigorously been complied with.
These principles are ……..
1. Measurement, whether buy 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 20µm. 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 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.
Page No.: 7 of 24
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 fine adjustment knob is also provided to Z axis positioning screw, which allows Z
axis to move by 0.001mm
The adjustable table performs the following movements required for exact
measurements: Vertical Adjustments: 0-50mm
The adjustable table is provided with two T-slots for fastening the objector clamps
the one sided V bearing plate.

5.0 Measurements
5.1 Alignment of parts

Since the position of the part’s gauge faces relative to the axis of measurement
affects the measurement result, the following conditions have to be fulfilled to avoid
errors.
The flat, parallel gauge faces (External or Internal) of a part to be measured must
be at right angles to the axis of measurement in horizontal & vertical directions.
Therefore, find reversal point in the horizontal plane acc
