    about centro/coaxial watches

    Hello, i use a Haimer ( pls see attached photo ), that has 3mm range

    This watch arms at the middle of the range, 1.5 mm, and i was wondering if you know watches that arm just a bit, ~0.2 for example ?

    Asimeto version ( pls see attached photo ) seems to have a fine adjustment ... does anybody know if this one arms just a bit, and not at middle-range ?

    [ Middle-range arming ] + [ watch retreat and reenter ] = [ palpator broken ]

    Of course, you can arm just a bit using a pupitast ( pls see attached photo ), but their range is short ( ~0.8 ), and if missalignment is >0.8, than you put extra-force on internal mechanism.

    Centro Watches have greater range, while pupitast allow soft-spring-arming. I need a combined version please

    Blake, fowler, and SPI all make coaxial indicators as well as others. I would think that one of the makes what you are after . We use a Blake and it works well until it gets "abused " by a careless user. Several are on eBay.

    Best regards

    Re: about centro/coaxial watches

    please, about your Blake, does it arms always at middle-range, or is it possible to arm only 0.1-0.2 mm ?

    i would really apreciate a coaxial, with 0.1 arm and 3..4 mm range , but i don't think it exists

    I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to accomplish, but the Blake we use is very similar to the Asimeto unit you show. I believe that the rage may be larger, but if you visit their website they can give you the specs of what they offer. They have several different diameter Styli for the end and different resolutions and spring options available.
