Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series • The metering accuracy depends greatly on the wheel surface quality. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the check and presorting of the wheel surface roughness and flaws before measuring the diameter. • Prior to place the gauge onto the wheel there is a need to clean the wheel parts that contact with gauge ball bearings, side supports and measuring tip, of the mud. • At arranging the gauge, do not allow hitting its supports on the wheel and any measuring tip side hitting. • At arranging the gauge, do not apply strong forcing in the direction of...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series The design of the gauge with a base of 200, 250 and 300 mm is shown in Figure 1, and with a base of 122 mm - in Figure 1.1. The electronic gauge contains two ball supports to place the gauge onto the roll surface, two side supports to base the gauge to the wheel edge and a measuring tip. There are a digital numeric display and control buttons on the front panel of the gauge. The "Charge” connector for connecting the charging device is located on the top panel of the gauge.

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series The measurement method is based on the diameter calculation from a known length of the segment chord (the distance between the ball bearings centers), which is obtained at placing the gauge onto the wheel and measured by means of the displacement converter. Video demonstration: https://youtu.be/pMienHfBizg. 9. Working with the gauge 9.1. Turning on the gauge Press the Red button to turn on the power. The display shows "ErrP" message if the battery voltage became lower than the control level. In this case, the short-term work is possible after pressing...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series To carry out measurements, it is necessary to: • Turn on the power (press the Red button). The display shows " • Place the gauge onto the wheel. • Make sure the ball supports and the measuring tip are tight against the roll surface and the side supports are adjacent to the edge of the wheel. • Press the Green button. • In one second, the display will show the value of the wheel diameter. For viewing the measurement result with a discreteness of 0.01 mm (only available in direct indication mode), it is necessary to press the Blue button, thus the displayed...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series • The display will show the value of the averaging counter: "n x", where x -number of averaged values. • In one second, the display will show the average value of the wheel diameter. • Reinstall the gauge and repeat the measurement. The total number of measurements averaged in this way can be up to 9999. To reset the averaging result, press the Red button. For viewing the measurement result with a discreteness of 0.01 mm (only available in direct indication mode), it is necessary to press the Blue button, thus the displayed result will be shifted to...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series • Press the Red button to save the changes. The display will show the "SAUE" message. Press the Green button to confirm saving or the Red button to cancel. The image rotation function allows the operator to view the result regardless of the direction of installation of the gauge. - Indication discreteness of 0.01 mm is only available in direct indication mode. - In inches, the diameter is indicated with two decimal places. When the image is rotated, the dot is displayed at the top. 10.2. Image brightness To change the display brightness, it is necessary...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series • Press the Blue button again and enter the brightness adjustment mode • Press the Green button to change the parameter. • To save the parameter, press the Red button. The display will show the "SAUE" message. Press the Green button to confirm saving or the Red button to cancel. When adjusting the brightness, keep in mind that higher brightness will significantly increase power consumption and shorten battery life. To change the mode, it is necessary to: • Turn on the gauge by pressing the Red button. • Press the Blue button and keep it pressed for more...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series • Reference wheel of the known diameter (or Reference wheel block RF510.11.850, Figure 2). • To move to the next calibration mode, press the Blue button. • The display will show the message "CLbr.b" - device base calibration (distance between the centers of the support balls). • To enter the device base calibration mode, press the Green button (see par. 11.3). Thus, in the operating mode, the buttons perform the following functions: • Blue button - switch the mode. • Green button - enter the mode. • Red button - exit the mode. 11.3. Device base calibration...

Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge. IDK Series 12. Charging accumulator batteries To charge the accumulator batteries, it is necessary to connect the charging device to the mains 220 V and to the battery compartment on the top panel of the gauge. The time of charging is 15 hours. Warranty assurance for the Wheel Diameter Measuring Gauge IDK Series – 18 months from the date of putting in operation; warranty shelf-life – 12 months.
