Introduction
Adjustable base instruments are widely used in the industry and academia. They are mainly used for manual instrumentation experiments, to study the characteristics of systems and devices and to obtain their basic parameters.
History
The adjustable base instrument is the earliest type of instrument. Invented in 18th century by Thomas Tompion, it was adopted as a tool for manual measurement in many industries, especially in the engineering field, where it was used to measure and control the precision of machine movements.
Principle
The adjustable base instrument uses a plate to adjust its base. This plate can be fixed by combination screws, which are connected with a handle outside the instrument. When in use, the handle is turned to the desired direction and the plate is adjusted on the base so that the desired position of the instrument is obtained. This adaptation process is usually repeated until the desired precision is achieved.
Use
The adjustable base instrument is widely used in many industries. In engineering, it is mainly used for manual measurement and control for machine movements and drilling operations. In medical applications, it can be used for monitoring and regulating the accuracy of medical equipment and instruments. In aircraft manufacturing, it can be used for precision calibration and maintenance of aircraft.
Advantages
The adjustable base instrument is relatively simple in structure and cost-effective. It can be used in different places and different conditions, and it can also achieve high precision in measuring and regulating machine movements, and can quickly respond to changes in the environment.
Conclusion
The adjustable base instrument is an important part of manual instrumentation tools and plays an important role in many industries. It has simple structure and cost-effective, and can be used in different conditions to quickly respond to the environment and achieve accurate measurement and control.
