ASTEC AMERICA is proud to partner with this iconic brand to bring their world-renowned micrometers to a broader range of industries across the United States. “We're really excited to be able to offer the full line of Starrett micrometers to our customers,” says a representative from ASTEC AMERICA. “We know how critical accurate measurement is for successful manufacturing, and Starrett consistently delivers. It’s not just about the tools, it’s about helping our clients get it right the first time, every time.” What are Micrometers & Why Do They Matter? Okay, so what is a micrometer? Simply put, it’s a tool used to measure small distances with incredible precision. Think of it like a super-accurate ruler, but instead of measuring in inches or centimeters, it can measure down to thousandths of an inch or even millionths! Why is this important? In manufacturing, even the tiniest difference in dimension can throw everything off. Imagine building a complex engine. If a critical part is even slightly out of spec, it could lead to malfunctions, wasted materials, and ultimately, unhappy customers. That’s where Starrett micrometers come in. They provide the accuracy manufacturers need to build things right. The Starrett Micrometer Line-Up: Something for Everyone ASTEC AMERICA now offers a huge selection of Starrett micrometers. Here’s a quick rundown of what's available: Outside Micrometers: These are your standard, all-purpose micrometers, used to measure the outside dimensions of objects like shafts, wires, and blocks. They come in a ton of sizes and ranges, from measuring tiny screws to larger parts. Starrett offers both ratchet stop and friction thimble versions, letting you fine-tune how you take readings. Inside Micrometers: Need to measure the inside diameter of a hole or tube? That’s where inside micrometers come in. They have extendable rods to reach into tight spaces, and come with a variety of accessories to handle different depths and configurations. Depth Micrometers: These are designed to measure the depth of holes, slots, or recesses. They’re used in a bunch of applications, from checking the depth of grooves in machine parts to verifying the thickness of coatings. Vernier Calipers: Okay, these aren't strictly micrometers, but they're related and offer a great balance between accuracy and affordability. They're really versatile and can measure both inside and outside dimensions. ASTEC America carries a robust selection of Starrett Vernier Calipers as well. Digital Micrometers: These give you a clear, easy-to-read digital display, eliminating the need to interpret a vernier scale. They often have features like data output for connecting to computers or statistical process control (SPC) systems. This makes recording and analyzing measurements super easy. Specialty Micrometers: Starrett doesn't just stop at the basics. They also offer specialized micrometers for unique applications, like measuring thin materials, coating thickness, or thread pitch. What Sets Starrett Micrometers Apart? So, why choose Starrett over other micrometers on the market? Here's a breakdown: Unmatched Accuracy: Starrett micrometers are built to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring the most accurate measurements possible. They consistently meet or exceed industry standards. Durability & Reliability: These aren’t flimsy tools. They’re built to last, with hardened steel frames and precision-ground measuring surfaces. You can expect years of reliable performance, even in harsh industrial environments. Ergonomic Design: Starrett understands that comfortable tools are more efficient tools. Their micrometers feature ergonomic designs that reduce fatigue and improve ease of use. The ratchet stops and friction thimbles help provide consistent, repeatable readings.
