Fast, accurate external thread inspection starts with the right gaging system.

In this video, we introduce the Universal Punch 3-Point External Thread Gage, a variable-reading, indicating thread gaging system designed for production and quality environments where precision and repeatability matter. At the center of the system is the 3-POINT™ self-aligning gage frame, which automatically establishes true 120-degree contact. This eliminates the need for setting templates or micrometers and ensures consistent, repeatable measurements across parts and operators.

The system uses interchangeable external gage rolls, allowing multiple thread characteristics to be measured with one platform: Best-wire rolls for pitch diameter Full-form rolls for functional diameter Plain rolls for major diameter and out-of-round conditions As the part is rotated in the gage, the indicator displays real-time variation, making it easy to identify lobing, ovality, and thread form errors that can affect assembly and performance.

The lower rolls support the part, while the upper roll applies a consistent measuring force, delivering stable, accurate readings with minimal operator influence. Designed for flexibility, the 3-Point External Thread Gage covers thread sizes from #4 (3 mm) up to 1-1/2 in (40 mm), with quick changeover between sizes and configurations. The system is also SPC compatible, supporting data collection and proactive process control.

Built for durability, efficiency, and precision, the Universal Punch 3-Point External Thread Gage is a proven solution for modern external thread inspection.

Precision is critical when inspecting internal threads. In this video, we demonstrate the Universal Punch Internal 2-Point Thread Gage, a variable-reading, indicating gaging system engineered for accurate and repeatable internal thread measurement in production and quality control environments.

The video shows how the gage is calibrated using a traceable master and how it measures both functional diameter and pitch diameter. Its cone-style contact geometry maintains consistent contact with the thread flanks and displays thread variation as the part is rotated in the gage. This allows operators to clearly see size changes, taper, and form variation that can affect assembly and performance.

Because the system is indicating, operators receive immediate visual feedback, making it easy to verify whether an internal thread is within tolerance without relying on go or no-go results. Quick-change internal gaging elements and a modular design allow one gage system to cover multiple internal thread sizes and configurations, helping reduce inspection time while improving repeatability and process control.

Whether used at the machine or in the quality lab, the Universal Punch Internal 2-Point Thread Gage delivers reliable internal thread measurements you can trust.

The Universal Punch Pro Modular Gaging System is designed for flexible and repeatable dimensional inspection across a wide range of manufacturing applications. Built on a precision aerospace-grade aluminum base with universal T-slots, the system allows custom inspection setups without machining dedicated fixtures.

This video demonstrates how the Pro Modular Gaging System supports runout and total indicator reading, diameter measurement, true position, shoulder location, and other GD and T characteristics. Its modular design makes it easy to adapt to new part families, integrate multiple indicator types, and maintain consistent measurement results across shifts and production environments.

Used in aerospace, medical device manufacturing, automotive production, and general machining, the Pro Modular Gaging System helps reduce setup time, minimize tooling changes, and improve inspection efficiency.

The Universal Punch Internal 2-Point Thread Gage is engineered for manufacturers who require precise, repeatable, and reliable internal thread inspection. Designed for aerospace, medical, automotive, and other high-performance industries, this gaging system allows quality teams to verify internal thread size, pitch diameter, functional fit, and manufacturing consistency with exceptional accuracy.

This video highlights the dual-contact, 2-point measurement design, which minimizes operator influence and eliminates deflection to provide a true representation of thread condition. The rigid construction, TiN-coated wear components, and fully supported indicator mounting make this gage well suited for production floors, calibration labs, and advanced inspection environments.

The Internal 2-Point Thread Gage measures pitch diameter, functional size, and thread variation such as out-of-roundness and runout influence. With fast setup and compatibility with both dial and digital indicators, as well as SPC and data collection systems, it supports both prototype inspection and high-volume production.

Whether you are qualifying critical aerospace components, validating precision fasteners, or maintaining process capability in tight-tolerance applications, the Universal Punch Internal 2-Point Thread Gage delivers the accuracy and repeatability needed to protect quality at every stage.

Driver engagement may seem like a small detail, but in industries like aerospace, medical devices, and precision manufacturing, it can make or break a component. Penetration depth affects torque transfer, wear, long-term reliability, and overall performance. When tolerances get tight, you need a measurement tool that gives you confidence every single time.

This video walks through the Universal Punch Penetration Gage, a U.S.-built solution designed to measure 6-lobe driver depth with accuracy you can trust. Each gage is machined to strict dimensional standards and assembled with the goal of producing repeatable, stable readings—no guessing, no inconsistent setup, and no room for doubt. The process is simple: insert your driver into the penetration block, apply light pressure, and read the depth directly from the indicator. Whether you’re verifying a new tool, checking existing tooling for wear, or confirming a production batch meets spec, the system makes it easy to gather consistent data.

What makes the Penetration Gage especially useful is its flexibility. Universal Punch offers several penetration block sizes for different 6-lobe profiles, including custom blocks for specialty tooling. You can choose a traditional analog indicator or opt for a digital one if you prefer a high-resolution display. For teams that work across multiple sizes, multi-size block configurations are also available. The result is a dependable, purpose-built measurement tool for organizations that can’t afford uncertainty—especially when working with high-value or safety-critical components.

GO NO GO gages are a core inspection tool in modern manufacturing, especially in aerospace, automotive, medical, and precision fastener applications where fit, function, and safety are critical.

This video explains how GO NO GO gages work, why pass or fail inspection is essential, and how GO NO GO gaging fits into tolerance analysis, process capability, and acceptance inspection. Learn the difference between GO and NO GO inspection, how maximum and least material condition apply, and how proper gage use ensures part interchangeability.

The video also covers common inspection mistakes, gage tolerances, calibration and traceability requirements, and key ISO and ASME standards including ISO 1502, AS9100, ASME B89, and ISO IEC 17025.

Designed for manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, inspectors, and machinists seeking a clear, standards-based understanding of GO NO GO gaging.

You will see how the A-10’s modular design allows interchangeable roller sets, adjustable carriers, and flexible clamping configurations to match specific part and process requirements.
