Based in Vancouver, Washington, Anchor Star is committed to delivering high-quality, reliable tools to professionals across industries, from manufacturing and automotive repair to aerospace and quality control. “We’ve been listening to the needs of our customers for years,” says a representative from Anchor Star LLC (located at 1308 NE 134TH ST, Vancouver, WA, 98685-2722, and reachable at 601-355-7480). “They’ve asked for a dial indicator that’s accurate, durable, and easy to use – and that's exactly what we've delivered. We’re incredibly proud of this new product line and confident it will become an indispensable tool for professionals seeking ultimate precision.” What's the Big Deal with Dial Indicators, Anyway? For those not intimately familiar with precision measurement, a dial indicator might seem like a simple tool. But don't let its appearance fool you! These little devices are crucial for checking things like: Runout: Think about a car wheel. Is it perfectly round, or does it wobble a bit? Dial indicators measure that wobble – runout – to ensure smooth operation and prevent vibration. Alignment: Getting things lined up perfectly is essential in many applications. Dial indicators help verify alignment of parts during assembly or repair. Flatness: Is a surface truly flat? Dial indicators can scan a surface to identify any high or low spots. Depth Measurement: Getting accurate depth readings is often critical, and dial indicators can help achieve that. Basically, if you need to know if something is exactly where it's supposed to be, a dial indicator is your friend. Anchor Star's New Dial Indicators: What Sets Them Apart? Anchor Star isn’t just throwing another dial indicator into the market. They've focused on addressing common user frustrations and building a product that stands out. Here's a breakdown of what you get: Accuracy You Can Trust: Anchor Star's dial indicators are built to exacting standards, providing highly accurate readings. They’ve undergone rigorous testing to ensure reliability and consistency. Available in various accuracy grades (0.001”, 0.0005”, and even more precise options), there's a model for virtually any application. Built to Last: Let’s face it, tools get knocked around. These dial indicators feature a hardened steel construction designed to withstand harsh environments and heavy use. The rugged housing protects the delicate internal mechanisms, ensuring a long service life. No flimsy plastic here! Easy to Read: The large, clear dial face with bold markings makes it easy to read measurements, even in dimly lit conditions. The anti-parallax mirror eliminates reading errors caused by looking at the dial from an angle. Say goodbye to squinting and second-guessing! Smooth Operation: A low-friction movement provides smooth and responsive needle travel, allowing for accurate and consistent readings. No jerky jumps or sticky movements here. Versatile Mounting: These dial indicators come with a standard 8-32 threaded stem, making them compatible with a wide range of mounting options. Whether you're using a magnetic base, a test indicator holder, or a custom fixture, you can easily attach these indicators. Multiple Ranges: Anchor Star offers dial indicators with various measurement ranges to suit different applications. Choose from ranges like 0.030", 0.100", 0.200", 0.400", and more. Different Stem Styles: Need a flexible stem? A short stem? Anchor Star has you covered. They offer different stem lengths and styles to accommodate tight spaces and challenging measurement setups. Back Lug & Point Options: The indicators come standard with a lug on the back for secure mounting. Interchangeable points, including hardened steel and carbide, are available for different materials and applications. Who Will Benefit from These New Indicators? Anchor Star’s new dial indicators are designed for a wide range of professionals, including: Machinists: Ensuring the precision of machined parts is critical, and dial indicators are an essential tool for checking tolerances and runout. Automotive Technicians: Diagnosing engine problems, checking brake rotors, and aligning wheels all require accurate measurement, making dial indicators indispensable. Quality Control Inspectors: Verifying the quality of manufactured products requires precise measurement of dimensions, flatness, and other critical parameters. Tool and Die Makers: Creating and maintaining tooling requires extreme precision, and dial indicators are essential for ensuring the accuracy of dies, molds, and other tooling components. HVAC Technicians: Ensuring proper alignment of ductwork and equipment is crucial for efficient operation, and dial indicators can help achieve that.
