Accurate reference for layout and inspection

The straightedge offers a dependable 500 mm datum with certified straightness 0.2–0.3 mm, ensuring consistent repeatability when establishing references on components. In practice, the declared straightness indicates the maximum deviation along the working edge; this value is essential for gauging tolerances during set-up and for comparative checks against a surface plate. The tool requires inspection, so traceability and conformity checks are facilitated where documentation of measuring equipment is mandatory.

Robust profile and refined surface for everyday workshop use

A sturdy 40 x 5 mm cross-section gives the instrument sufficient stiffness for handling and prevents sagging across its length, while the chamfered edge and finely polished faces reduce the risk of marking delicate parts. The high edges are ground to maintain a crisp line of sight and a consistent contact geometry, which assists in rapid visual alignment and in producing reliable scribe lines. The combination of structural rigidity and surface finish makes the straightedge suitable for repetitive workshop routines without compromising the reference quality.

Built for integration into inspection routines

Designed as a practical steel straightedge, the instrument is intended for routine layout tasks, flatness comparisons and basic inspection uses on the shop floor. Its measured characteristics simplify the selection process for quality control roles that require a compact, robust reference tool. Documentation and compliance are supported by the product data and SKU, so the straightedge can be recorded in tool inventories and inspection schedules as part of a structured metrology workflow.
