Introduction
What is the MIC TRAC?
The MIC TRAC is an electronic, adjustable calibration and measurement center that will improve your
ability to inspect parts, preset indicator style gages, and calibrate a variety of hand held inspection
gages. The MT-3000 measurement system includes the base unit. The base unit houses the optical
scale, which provides the MIC TRAC's precision measuring capability. The base unit may include an
optional Force-Lok™ feature that provides a constant measurement force, which improves repeatability
from operator to operator.
For gage calibration, the MIC TRAC measurement system can include the CAL-PAK, as an option. CAL-
PAK is an assortment of fixtures that attach to the base unit for holding gages securely during the
calibration process. Proper positioning of the gage improves the accuracy of the calibration and provides
more consistent results. Refer to the MIC TRAC MT-3000 Calibration Reference Cards and the Gage
Calibration Setup Poster for information about using the CAL-PAK fixtures.
Gagemaker’s Philosophy of Accuracy
Over a decade of research and development of calibration and measuring equipment has provided us
with many eye opening experiences into the realities of what accuracy means. Accuracy is subjective.
Accuracy is controlled by many physical elements, all of which have their own variables. Temperature
and humidity are just two factors that can affect accuracy.
It is critical to stabilize, monitor and adjust both temperature and humidity in order to maintain an
accurate environment. 68°F (20°C) and 50% humidity have been established by NIST as the
temperature at which measurements should be taken. Measurement or calibration in any other
environment should be evaluated prior to certification.
All equipment manufactured by Gagemaker, Inc. is accurate when operated according to our instructions
and under suitable environmental conditions. In many cases, to improve accuracy, you may need to
improve environmental conditions.
