Indicol Workholding Tools

Indicator Holders From Indicol

Indicol indicator holders are a universal, time-saving solution for dial test indicators. Using a sturdy C-frame clamp, Indicol holders mount directly to your machine quill extension for precision measurement without disturbing the cutting tool.

Each Indicol frame features:

Three bearing pads and an opposite pressure screw for secure, rigid mounting
Friction-mounted pivots and articulations for consistent performance
Curved spring washers with flat nylon bearings to maintain pressure during pivoting

Indicol holders are ideal for precision alignment, concentricity checks, adaptability, and machine setup.

Indicol Indicator Support Use

Indicol holders are designed to hold a dial test indicator securely in place for machine setup, alignment and measurement tasks. They save time by allowing you to take readings without removing the cutting tool. Clamp-on indicator holders from Indicol are attached to the head of your milling machine using a C-clamp, allowing you to measure without obstructing the path of the cutting tool.

Universal Indicator Holder

Indicol holders are designed to universally support milling machine quills and can be easily adapted to different machine setups thanks to their C-frame clamp design. Multiple sizes are available to match your machine quill and dial indicator type. Contact usif you need help selecting the correct size for your setup.

Measurements Using Indicol

Each indicator is capable of performing three types of readings:

Concentricity of the workpiece relative to the spindle centerline
Edge alignment with the machine table’s longitudinal or transversal movement
Spindle perpendicularity relative to the machine table surface

Installing Your Indicol Holder:

To install your indocol holder, no special tools are required and installation typically takes less than a minute. Install the C-frame clamp by tightening the pressure screw. For further instructions, view the manual of your Indicol model.

FAQ

How do you use an Indicol holder?

Mount the Indicol holder to your machine quill using the C-frame clamp, attach your dial test indicator, and position it for the reading you want to take. Tighten the pressure screw to secure the holder, then rotate or pivot as needed for concentricity, alignment or perpendicularity measurements.

What makes Indicol holders different from other indicator holders?

Indicol holders are known for their three-point bearing design, which provides maximum stability and accuracy. The friction-mounted pivots and articulations make setup faster and repeatable, saving time during machine setup.

Do Indicol holders work with all dial indicators?

Most standard dial test indicators can be used with Indicol holders. If you have a specialty indicator, check compatibility or contact us for guidance.
