Military armorers checked cylinders for serviceability with a simple
plug gage. If the shoulder of the gage protruded above the edge of the cylinder it was declared serviceable.
However, the
plug gage issues were still too broad and varied.
Instead, this unit has the
plug gage seated in a handle that contains a Bluetooth transmitter.
If we were dealing with an inside diameter, we need to determine what is the largest
plug gage that could "fit" inside the feature.
A relative comparison would be a go/no-go
plug gage to a CMM.
Gaging systems range from the simple hand-held
plug gage with air column or digital readout to more complex, fully automated systems with distributed processing of related activities such as machine monitoring, robotics, and information management.
Unique gaging fixtures enable simple two-minute setup, while eliminating the need and expense for
plug gages, mikes, Jo Blocks, master tings or micrometers.

plug gages, air gages, and tooling;
We can no longer afford the time anti efficiency losses of our old optical comparators, NC machines, and
plug gages," states James Guba, chief engineer, Imac.
As an alternative to ring and
plug gages, Superbolt decided to use Functional Thread Roll inspection gages manufactured by Gagemaker Inc, Houston, TX.
Sporting a relatively small footprint, Lista cabinets are used to store tools of disparate sizes and shapes: reamers, endmills, wrenches, inspection equipment (such as ring gages and thread
plug gages), and other line tools.
As well as gage blocks,
plug gages are used for this work.
