#1182 6-Lobe (TX) No-Go Fallaway Gage
Precision No-Go fallaway gaging for internal 6-Lobe (TX) recess head screws. Designed for production and receiving inspection where controlling maximum recess form size and fallaway depth is essential to maintaining drive integrity and dimensional consistency.
Product Overview
The #1182 6-Lobe (TX) No-Go Fallaway Gage is engineered for production and receiving inspection of internal 6-Lobe recess head screws where controlling the upper limit of recess form size is critical. This gage helps quality teams verify that the recess has not become oversized and that fallaway remains within the specified limit.
In practical use, No-Go fallaway gaging provides a repeatable method for evaluating whether a recess form exceeds the maximum allowable condition. If the No-Go member enters the recess, that entry must remain within the permitted fallaway depth. This makes the gage a key tool for process control, incoming inspection, and dimensional verification before assembly.
Universal Punch designs precision gaging systems for demanding manufacturing environments where reliability, repeatability, and long-term dimensional stability are essential.
What This Gage Checks
- Maximum allowable internal 6-Lobe recess form size
- Fallaway depth during No-Go inspection
- Oversize recess conditions before assembly
- Receiving and in-process inspection consistency
- Dimensional control across production lots
