Gauges are used across every field of trade and industry where series-produced parts need to be reliably inspected. These include contour gauges, limit gauges, dimensional gauges and bore gauges. They are indispensable in production, assembly and metrology. Contour gauges check contours, radii and threads for accuracy. Limit gauges ensure the dimensional accuracy of threads, bores and shafts by representing the maximum or minimum size via a go and no-go side. Complex gauges often combine several of these functions, offering versatile applications.
Gauges play a central role in checking specified dimensions, as they serve as a reference standard. Rather than capturing measured values, they allow a direct comparison check. The gauges are fixed and are therefore not used for measuring, but purely for comparison – unlike an inspection fixture, which delivers a concrete measured value. They clearly represent a workpiece’s target state and compare it against the actual state of the part being inspected. This makes deviations quick to spot, efficiently supporting quality assurance.
