PROCEDURE: 7.1 Brief theory: Sine bar is always used in conjunction with datum (e.g. surface plate) and auxiliary equipments such as slip gauges, dial indicator, angle plate and height gauge. It consists of a steel bar containing two rollers of equal diameter attached at the end of it as shown in fig. The axes of these two rollers are mutually parallel to each other and are also parallel to and at equal distance from the upper surface of sine bar. The distance between the axes of roller known as length of sine bar is usually 100mm, 200mm & 300mm. Some holes are drilled in the body of the bar to reduce the weight and to facilitate the handling as shown in fig.4.1 It is made up of high carbon, high chromium, corrosion resistance steel, hardened ground & stabilized steel. 7.2

Stepwise Procedure: 1. Note the length of sine bar L =……….mm 2. Find the approximate angle of the component by using bevel protractor or any other suitable device. Let this angle be θ. 3. Calculate the height of slip gauges (h) required from relation Sin θ = h/L, where L is the length of sine bar. h = L sin θ 4. Select & wring together the required slip gauges for dimension ‘h’ mm. 5. Place the work piece on sine bar & clamp to the angle plate if necessary as shown.

Experiment No. 4

Dial indicator is clamped firmly in dial indicator stand and slight pressure applied so that plunger just touches one end of workpiece. To check the parallelism of upper surface of workpiece, a dial indicator along with the stand is moved from one end of the work and moved to other end. Note the deviation ‘δh’. This deviation may be noticed by taking two readings of dial indicator at two ends of work piece top edge. Add / subtract the slip gauges of height ‘dh’. Where dh = δh *L/l ‘l’ is length of workpiece. Adjust the slip gauges so that deviation of dial indicator is zero from one end to other end. Calculate the height of slip gauges. Unknown angle = sin–1(Height of slip gauges/Length of sine bar) = sin-1(h/L) = —————— = ———————

Precaution & Care: 1. Sine bar should not be used for the angles more than 45 degree.
