Magnetic Stands – Essential Holding Tools for Precision Measurement
Magnetic stands are precision tools designed to hold dial indicators, test indicators, and other measuring devices securely during inspection or machining operations. Featuring a strong magnetic base, these stands ensure hands-free, stable positioning on metal surfaces—making them ideal for measuring alignment, runout, and part tolerances.
Widely used in manufacturing, CNC setups, and quality control environments, magnetic stands help eliminate human error and ensure consistent measurement results.
Key Features of Magnetic Stands
Strong Magnetic Base
Provides stable and secure positioning on metal surfaces.
Flexible Arm Adjustment
Allows easy positioning for precise measurements.
Universal Compatibility
Fits most dial indicators and gauges.
Durable Construction
Built to withstand industrial environments.
Applications of Magnetic Stands
- Machining Operations: For tool alignment and workpiece setup
- Inspection Labs: Holding indicators during dimensional checks
- CNC Machine Setup: Positioning indicators during zero-setting
- Calibration & Metrology: Stable base for accurate measurements
- Training Institutes: Teaching precision measurement techniques
How to Use Magnetic Stands
Activate the Magnet: Switch on the magnetic base to lock it to a metal surface.
Adjust the Arm: Position the arm to the desired angle and lock the joints.
Perform Measurement: Begin your measurement or inspection task.
Deactivate & Store: Turn off the magnet after use and store in a clean, dry place.
