Materials Needed:
•MIC TRAC MT-3000 base unit and CPU readout •5/32" hex wrench
•Depth micrometer •50 in/lb torque wrench
•
Depth gage fixture (TF-DG) and cap screws
•
Cloth
•Flat face anvil (TF-1F Block) cap screws and washers •ZEP I.D. Red cleaner
•Depth gage support (TF-SS Block), for rods 6” and up
1. Inspect the depth micrometer visually as
follows:
•Check for damage and excessive wear.
•Check for burrs, nicks and wear on measuring
faces.
•Check for damage to measuring rods, rod
seating surfaces, and rod reading surfaces.
•Inspect for slack in the spindle thread by
pushing the assembly in and out. Adjust to
remove excess play.
•Check for proper function of the friction or
ratchet stop and spindle locking device.
•Check for smoothness of travel by rotating the
thimble throughout the range.
•Ensure all rods are straight.
2. Clean both of the receiver pads and the
mounting surfaces of the flat face anvil using
the cloth and ZEP I.D. Red cleaner.
3. Locate the left flat face anvil. Place the
shoulder side of the anvil against the left
receiver pad shoulder.

4. While holding the anvil against the receiver pad
shoulder, insert the two cap screws with
washers into the holes on either side of the
fixture.
5. While applying pressure toward the receiver
pad shoulder, use a 5/32" hex wrench to
slightly tighten the screws.
6. Use a 50 in/lbs torque wrench to secure the
cap screws.
7. Locate the depth gage fixture and clean the
mounting surfaces with the cloth and ZEP I.D.
Red cleaner.
8. Place the depth gage fixture against the right
receiver pad shoulder with the thumb screws
facing to the right. Insert the cap screws.

12. Zero the depth micrometer on a flat surface
and lock the spindle.
13. Retract the thumb screws on the depth gage
fixture enough to fit the depth micrometer.
14. Mount the depth micrometer in the depth gage
fixture, aligning the depth micrometer’s rod with
the center of the flat face anvil.

15. Secure the depth micrometer by holding down
on the base and tightening the thumb knob on
each side of the depth gage fixture.
16. Turn the coarse adjust knob counterclockwise
until the depth micrometer barely touches the
flat face anvil.
17. Apply slight pressure until the in the
axis display lights up. The display will read
0.00000 and the gaging force will be preset to
2.0 lbs of force.

Materials Needed:
•MIC TRAC MT-3000 base unit and CPU readout •5/32" hex wrench
•Seiko printer (optional) •Lightweight gage oil
•Depth Micrometer •Gage Calibration Record
1. Turn the fine adjust knob clockwise to bring the
depth micrometer face in contact with the flat
face anvil.
2. Verify that the readout on the CPU displays
0.00000.
3. Loosen the coarse adjust lock and turn the
coarse adjust knob clockwise to slide the
movable carriage to the right.
4. Adjust the depth micrometer to the first
calibration value.
Note: If you pass the calibration value, turn the
spindle back and approach the value again,
from the same direction. This practice will
increase the accuracy of the calibration.
If using a computer with
the MT-3000, go to page 11.

5. Turn the coarse adjust knob counterclockwise
until the depth micrometer rod barely touches
the flat face anvil.
6. Secure the coarse adjust lock.
7.
Turn the fine adjust knob clockwise until the
-in the axis display lights up. If you
have a Seiko Printer attached to your MIC
TRAC a permanent record of the measurement
prints.
8. Record any deviations on the Gage Calibration
Record or in-house calibration report. Continue
with remaining measurements for the first
depth rod.
Note: It is recommended that depth rods 6” and
longer be supported during calibration.
9. Locate and mount the TF-SS support. With the
thumbscrew facing forward, slide the support
over the flat face anvil.
10. Remove the depth rod from the depth
micrometer and insert the next depth rod.
Adjust the height of the depth gage support to
hold the end of the depth rod, so it does not
bend during calibration. Tighten the thumb
screw.

13. Continue turning the fine adjust knob until the
. in the axis display lights up. Record any
deviations on the Gage Calibration Record or
in-house calibration report. Continue with the
same calibration process for all remaining
depth rods.
14. Remove the depth micrometer and continue
with the same calibration process for the next
depth micrometer.
15. After calibrating all depth micrometers, be sure
to remove the depth gage fixture and flat face
anvil from the MT-3000. Oil the fixture and anvil
and return them to the storage case.
