THE SOVIET TOOL-GAGE INDUSTRY IN TBE CURRENT FIVE-YEAR PLAN The Ministry of Machine~ool Building bas designated the following tasks to be completed by tool plants during the current Five-Year Plan in the manufacture of measuring tools and instruments: 1. To increase the number of types of standardized measuring tools. 2. .To modernize standard designs of measuring tools in order to increase inspection capacity and wear resistance and assure technical efficiency in con- struction. 3. To broaden the field for the use of indicators with various attachments, which would incresse accuracy and inspection capacity in series and mass produc- tion. 1+. To increase the total volume of production and the mm:ber of types of precision measuring tools and instruments by the use of electric, pneumatic and other measuring systems together with the application of mechanical and lever principles. 5. To broaden the production of automatic checking an3 sorting machines as well as instruments for automatic checking of work pieces during machining so that high-production inspection methods can be applied in mass conveyer production. 6. To increase the number of types of gear-mea>3u_~ing devices. 7. To insure the output of a large number of types of measuring instruments for checking cutting tools. 8. To perfect the production of certain types of special measuring tools for checking and measuring individual parts, either mass or specially produced, which have particu}ar importance in ns.tional economy.

During 1946 - 1947, 800 more types and sizes of measuring tools were pro- duced at the Kalibr Plant than in 1g45. Included among these tools were thread plug and ring gages, plug gages, adjustable and plain external gages, combina- tion squares, rules, plates, internal calipers, micrometers, etc. The number of types of height gages, micrometers for measuring plates, and soft and threaded materials has been increased at the Krasnyy instrumental'shchik Plant. The number of types of thread gages, wires for measuring threads, micro- meters of various sizes, etc. has been increased at the Chelyabinsk Tool Plant. Standar& measuring tools must be modernized in the following ways: a. Introduction of measuring tool designs which will increase efficiency and accuracy of measuring. b. Introduction of surface finishing of working parts of measuring tools which would increase their wear resistance. c. Introduction of plastic materials, pressure casting, and die stamp- ing to increase the technical efficiency of construction. d. Making types and sizes of measuring tools more precise. To carry out the above measures, new standards and norms must be developed by the Scientific Research Bureau of Interchangeability (IVIBV). During the current Five-Year Plan, smooth gages should be modernized by more extensive use of depth and height gages (kalibry s nepravleniyem) and by the use of spring compensators for small plug gages to protect them from breakage. To increase productivity in checking threads, the output of roe8edecreased. snap gages should be increased snd the production of thread ring .gag plant practice has shown-that the use u~ i;uese snap gages increased inspection capacity up to seven times. In 1947, the Kalibr Plant produced a series of rol- ler thread snap gages. In connection with modernizing measuring-tool designs, a great deal of work must be done by tool plants and the NtEV on tools having large dimensions to make them lighter in weight. To increase wear resistance and lengthen the life of measuring tools, working surfaces must be chrome plated on a large number of toolo such as master forms, squares, and end gages. For some types of products, such as micrometers, sliding gages, and external gages, the measuring surfaces must be made with hard alloy to prolong their length of service. Extensive use must be made of plastic materials for holders for various. types of gages and measuring instruments and for the boxes holding these tools. For internal measuring indicators; external gages, and microeters ~sll be the use of light-alloy parts made by pressure casting and die stamping more extensive. _. ______ Sanitized Co A roved for Release 2011/08/31 :CIA-RDP80-00809A000600330530-6 pY pp Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/31 :CIA-RDP80-00809A000600330530-6 ~4N~~pE~T1~L In 1946, the production of dial indicators fell short of meeting the needs of the machine-building industry.. The number of types as well as the gross pro- duction of indicators must be considerably increased during the current Five- Year Plan. Production of standard and special parts such as various types of stands, handles, and levers for dial indicators moat also be increased. In 1g46 - 1947, aeries production on a large scale was begun. at the Kalibr Plant for the manufacture of indicating internal gages graduated at 0.01 milli- meter Yor measuring 6- to 400-millimeter diameter holes, with a total of seven of ointernaingagesswithgrangessfrom 400~to813000 millimeterseis~planned~. ufacture In 1947, the manufacture of indicators for measuring to an accuracy of 0.001 millimeters was started at the Chelyabinsk Tool Plant In 1947; the first group of lever indicators with attachments, graduated at ~helproduction ofolevercindicators for measuring to an accuracyloft0.002 millittt~ meter is being perfected. The Krasnyy instrumental?shchik Plant has started producing indicating depth gages graduated at 0.01 millimeter with 0-13 millimeter range. The output of depth gage indicators having various ranges is planned. Production is being organized for 1947 for the manufacture of small dial indicators graduated at 0.01 millimeter with a 28-millimeter-diameter dial.

Since 1946, the plant has been producing indicating external gages with 0-50 mil~o 1t000 range and since 1947, with 50-100 millimeter range and higher -- uP millimeters. Indicating external gages are considerably more efficient than con- ventional micrometers. The Leningrad Tool Plant will also manufacture multiple inspection indicators during the current Five-Year Plsn. -3- CONFIDENT7AL ~a~ta?G~~-p~. uSanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/31 :CIA-RDP80-00809A000600330530-6
