The document provides setup and calibration instructions for using a TF-LG-3 fixture with a MIC TRAC MT-3000 machine to calibrate lead gages. The setup instructions describe cleaning and mounting the fixture and a flat face anvil to the machine. A lead gage is then inserted into the fixture and secured. For calibration, the machine's controls are used to zero the lead gage and take measurements at increments until .010" in both directions, recording any deviations. The fixtures are then removed and stored after calibrating all lead gages.

Setup Materials Needed: • MIC TRAC MT-3000 base unit • 3/32" hex wrench • Lead gage • 30 in/lb torque wrench • Lead gage fixture (TF-LG-3 Block) and cap screws • Cloth • Flat face anvil (TF-1F Block) and cap screws • ZEP I.D. Red cleaner • 5/32" hex wrench
1. Inspect the lead gage visually as follows:
• Check for damage and excessive wear. • Check for clear bezel, legible dial face. • Inspect for proper function of the bezel adjustment and lock. • Inspect for missing or lose screws or worn contact point. • Check for smoothness of travel by depressing the indicator shaft throughout the entire travel range. Any indicators, with restricted movement, must be repaired prior to calibration.
2. Clean both of the receiver pads and mounting
surfaces of the flat face anvil using the cloth and ZEP I.D. Red cleaner.
13. Clean the lead gage using the cloth and ZEP I.D. Red cleaner.
14. Insert the lead gage into the slot in the top of the lead gage fixture. Position the contact point on the gage on the outside of the flat face anvil.
Materials Needed: • MIC TRAC MT-3000 base unit and CPU readout • 3/32" hex wrench • Seiko printer (optional) • Lightweight gage oil • Lead gage • Gage Calibration Record • 5/32" hex wrench
5. Turn the fine adjust knob counterclockwise until
the lead gage indicator reads the first calibration value. Note: If you pass the calibration value, turn the needle back and approach the value again, from the same direction. This practice will increase the accuracy of the calibration.
6. If you have a Seiko Printer attached to your
MIC TRAC for printing a permanent record of calibration measurements, press the PRINT pad on the CPU panel.
7. Record any deviations on the Gage Calibration
Record or in-house calibration report. Continue with remaining measurements at every .001” until .010”. Return the needle to zero, and then calibrate the gage moving in the opposite direction.
8. After completing all measurements, loosen the
screws and remove the lead gage fixture from the MT-3000. Remove the lead gage fixture from the lead gage.
