I am Pat Sullivan of Mitutoyo.
Welcome to Unbox Friday.
Mike, what do you got for me today?
Well, look, here we have the 513-402-10T.
Everyone knows that's the Mitutoyo test indicator.
So let's open it up and take a look.
See what we have as far as the contents.
And again, very important stuff in here.
So let's take a look.
Of course, the very nice plastic container.
I'll save that for later.
Let's see here, I'm looking for the certificate of inspection.
OK, so looking here,
it has the code number or the manufacturing part number,
the serial number, you want to make sure that matches your test indicator.
That's very important,
because this was actually the certificate for the inspection.
And in Japan, it was done by Mr. Ito.
And what it shows you here is
the permissible error as well as the observable error.
And here this is nice, there is a little graph
that shows you how it did during the inspection.
Shows you, this is a nice little handy pamphlet here on the technique here.
Just shows you where you get the proper accuracy and where
using the indicator, you might have more poorer readings as well.
So that's, that's a little nice handy tip.
All right, so we have the box open here, and of course, I do want to tell you guys
that this is a, it's got the T at the end,
so it's the 513-402-10T.
And that T stands for a full set.
So you get a bit more with this test indicator versus some of the other
test indicators that we offer.
So you'll see here we
have the extra contact points and they, and hopefully you can see that
that they have different diameters as far as the balls are.
So if you're doing some different measurements and you need a larger contact
point or a smaller one there, they're here, they're available.
Of course, with the full set you get the, the mounting bracket,
which we have right here, as well as the different size stems.
And you'll see the smaller along with a larger stem.
You can see that without them rolling away here, and you have the stems
as well as the locking nut
to lock that stem in place.
Now here we have the mounting bracket,
and I can take that out, and it does come with some machine oil on here.
So you'll want to wipe this down,
a little bit, of course.
Just a little quick wipe.
And.
This is, of course, very nice
if you want to mount your test indicator on a height gage.
And we do have videos on that technique, if you want to see that on
our YouTube channel.
Very nice. So get that out of the way.
And now for the big finale, let's get out the test indicator.
We'll open it up and take a look at that.
So probably I'm sure a lot of you guys out there
don't know that we had recently at Mitutoyo updated our test indicator.
And what we did is we put a one-piece assembly in the unit.
So if you would slap this, you could unscrew this here and take this panel off.
You'd see that there would be a one-piece assembly.
And what that does is it makes it much more durable to impact.
So you're going to get a much more impact resistant indicator,
as well as if it does break, you, it'll be really easy to fix.
So you just take this panel off and slap
that unit in there and then you got a working indicator.
As well as like to point out that there is the length of the contact point.
There's a misconception out there that you can change the length
on your contact points and still keep the accuracy.
That is not true.
Ladies and gentlemen,
you want to keep that length, well, and it shows you right there the same.
Very nice.
And of course, you can always slap it back
into your container there and use that as a storage unit.
Thanks for watching.
