Making parts in high-production screw of transfer machines and want to know that the part diameters are what they are supposed to be while the part is still in process? If so, then the DF-040 available from SPC innovations (Stevensville, MI) can be a solution. The DF-040 is self-centering and provides a capacity up to 40 mm and a measuring range of 2 mm.

The gage repeatability is 0.01 mm. The gage checks parts during indexing, thereby not resulting in any additions to machine cycle time. And it is a heck of a lot more efficient than having people had sort parts.
