SHOP PLANEKATOR KITS
The Planekator measures the overall flatness of your surface plate. It enables you to take direct indicator readings of your surface plate with autocollimator-accuracy, but without the complicated mathematics of the autocollimator. When used in conjunction with a Starrett Repeat Reading Gage, you'll have a very accurate idea of the flatness of your surface plate.
Each kit includes a precision granite straight edge, one adjustable support, one fixed support, a certified 0.00002" dial indicator and an indicator carriage. The entire kit is shipped in a heavy-duty travel case. The straight edge comes equipped with lifting handles, correction tape indicating the accuracy at 1" intervals, and includes a NIST-traceable certificate that meets ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
The Planekator straight edge should be at least equal to the full width, and at least equal to 50% of the length of the largest surface you will be inspecting. For example, a 36" planekator straight edge can be used to calibrate any surface up to 36" x 72".
