Calibration & Setting Machines
Explore Mahr calibration and setting equipment for gauge management and reference measurement. Choose the equipment category from the instrument or standard to be calibrated and the required measurement procedure.
What can you measure?
Setting comparative instruments
Establish a reference dimension for compatible bore gauges, snap gauges or other comparative instruments. Use the setting-machine configuration and accessories appropriate to the instrument.
Indicator error evaluation
Use a suitable dial-indicator test bench to evaluate indication error over specified measuring positions. Select the test procedure for the indicator or comparator type.

What to consider before choosing
Calibration scope
List instrument types, ranges and calibration points; distinguish inside and outside measurement.
Uncertainty and environment
Define the required uncertainty and review temperature, stability, reference standards and handling.
Procedure and records
Agree software, accessories, methods, traceability and report format.
Frequently asked questions
Which machine should I choose for the gauges in my inspection room?
Prepare a list of gauge types, internal or external dimensions, size ranges and calibration requirements. Use that scope to compare universal length machines, indicator test benches and gauge block comparators; they serve different calibration tasks.
Can one length-measuring machine cover rings, plugs and threads?
A suitable machine may cover several gauge types, but each task needs the correct contacts, fixtures, range and procedure. Ask the quotation to identify the accessories and measurement capability for every item in your calibration scope.
What must be ready in the calibration room?
Review temperature stability, installation space, vibration, reference standards, handling and the required procedure with the proposed system. The target uncertainty should guide the complete setup, including the environment and documentation.
