Parallel - Vee Blocks - Straight Edges

Parallels and vee blocks are key tools for marking, adjusting, and checking the dimensions of cylindrical parts, ensuring precision in measurement processes. Widely used in workshops and metrology labs, these tools offer stable support and a reliable reference surface for inspection, machining, and quality control.

Parallels are typically made from non-deformable steel and come in various configurations, including cross shapes, with or without clamping brackets to secure the workpiece. Vee blocks are available in different types, such as angled, 90-degree, and magnetic. Materials like non-deformable steel, granite, or cast iron provide excellent wear resistance and precision-ground surfaces to ensure long-lasting accuracy.

The accuracy of the reference surface is critical in measurements. Straight edges, in particular, provide stable, durable support over time, making them ideal for quality control and metrology rooms. These granite surfaces offers several advantages: resistance to corrosion, non-magnetic and non-conductive properties, and minimal wear, even with extended use. They are an essential reference for dimensional checks. Their high level of flatness and material quality make them perfect for positioning mechanical equipment and measuring instruments used in quality control. The quartz content ensures long-term durability and superior performance, making them vital for metrological inspections.
