Tools for Your Manufacture Perfection

Manufacturing is a field that requires precision and stability. All of those qualities can only be achieved through thorough tests and fittings to ensure the stability of whole application structures. Each tool, accessory and work piece must be interchangeable with each other to ensure a stable and strong structure, which means an individual test on each connection is necessary. There are tools that you can use to check this interchangeable quality of a part, such as gages.

Plug gages, as the name suggests, are precision testing tools with fitting mechanism that is similar to a plug. The main function is to check and inspect the size of a hole during a manufacturing process. This is to ensure that the hole will fit with the tool or part that is supposed to be put into that. It is also used to check the level of tolerance between a part and its house in a structure’s joint. The diameter sizes are standardized and often have the simple labels of ‘go’ or ‘no go.’

Plug gages come in various shapes, sizes and functions. For example, there are plug gages that are used specifically to check head fasteners of a machine, examine outer diameters, and checking other various machine and application parts. Of course, precision and quality are important when we choose plug gage product, therefore shopping in reliable precision gage stores like Thread Check Inc. is a good investment to take.
