ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring the gap between the opposed facing surfaces of two adjacent parts, and simultaneously measuring the contour between outwardly facing surfaces of the parts. A gap measuring element is mounted to be movable along a first path relative to a first reference member carried by the main body. The first reference member is selectively engagable with one of the parts. The gap measuring element is insertable into the gap for engagement with the other of the parts. The gap measuring element is coupled to a transducer for generating a signal representative of the relative position of the gap measuring element along its path. The signal is proportional to the gap between the opposed facing surfaces of the parts. Additionally, a contour measuring element is mounted to be movable along a second path relative to a second reference member carried by the main body. The second reference member is selectively engagable with the outwardly facing surface one of the first and second parts. The contour measuring element is engagable with the outwardly facing surface of the other of the first and second parts. The contour measuring element is coupled to a transducer for generating a signal representative of the relative position of the contour element along the path, the signal being proportional to the contour of the adjacent outwardly facing surfaces. A calibration block and an adjustable zero block which may be used to prepare the measuring device for taking gap and contour measurements are also disclosed.
