What are engineer's precision parallels?

Engineer's precision parallels, commonly referred to as "precision parallels," are a type of tool used in machining and manufacturing processes. They are often employed in workshops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities to ensure accurate and precise alignment, measurement, and machining of workpieces. These parallels are primarily used in setups involving milling, drilling, grinding, and other machining operations.

Precision parallels consist of pairs of flat, parallel metal bars that are carefully manufactured to have extremely accurate dimensions and parallelism between the faces. They come in various sizes and thicknesses to accommodate different workpiece dimensions and applications. The parallels are made from high quality hardened and tempered steel and are resistant to wear and deformation. These parts are ground on all four faces and have dimensional accuracy to BS 906.

Here's how precision parallels are commonly used:

• 1. Alignment and Setup: Precision parallels are placed between the workpiece and the machine's worktable or other supporting surfaces to ensure the workpiece is properly aligned and positioned. This is crucial for accurate machining and measurement.
• 2. Height Adjustment: They can be stacked or combined to raise the workpiece to a specific height. This is particularly useful when the workpiece needs to be machined at a certain level or when multiple workpieces need to be machined to the same height.
• 3. Clamping Aid: Precision parallels can also act as support structures for clamping devices, helping to stabilise the workpiece during machining processes.
• 4. Measurement: Engineers use precision parallels as reference tools for measuring distances, checking parallelism, and verifying the accuracy of other tools.
• 5. Grinding and Finishing Operations: In grinding operations, precision parallels can be used to create a controlled gap between the workpiece and the grinding wheel, ensuring uniform material removal and a consistent finish.
• 6. Tool Clearance: They are used to provide clearance for cutting tools and other machining instruments, preventing interference during operations.
• 7. Checking Parallelism: Engineers can use precision parallels to check the parallelism of machined surfaces or the alignment of machine components.

Overall, precision parallels play a critical role in achieving high accuracy and repeatability in machining and manufacturing processes. Their precise dimensions and parallelism ensure that workpieces are set up correctly and machined accurately, contributing to the quality and consistency of the final products.

Materials

Steel is a highly versatile and durable material that offers numerous benefits in various industries. One of the key advantages of steel is its exceptional strength, making it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity, such as in construction and engineering projects. Moreover, steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to withstand harsh environments and maintain its integrity over time. Additionally, steel is a sustainable choice as it is 100% recyclable, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact. The versatility of steel is evident in its ability to be fabricated into different shapes and sizes, enabling its use in a wide range of applications. Whether it's used in automotive manufacturing, infrastructure development, or everyday household items, steel's reliability and durability make it an ideal material choice.
