Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a non-flat or damaged sheet for calibration.Always inspect the sheet for flatness and any surface imperfections before use. If damage is found, replace the sheet.
Inadequate support leading to deflection.Ensure the sheet is adequately supported across its entire surface to prevent bowing or deflection, which can compromise measurement accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Precision Calibration Standards
  • Custom Jig and Fixture Fabrication
  • Workholding for Inspection Processes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching the surface, which can affect accuracy.
  • Do not subject the sheet to excessive or uneven loads that may cause deformation.
