#1185 6-Lobe (TX) Final Inspection Gage
Product Overview
The #1185 6-Lobe (TX) Final Inspection Gage is designed for finished product verification of internal 6-Lobe recess head screws where final acceptance and dimensional consistency must be confirmed after manufacturing and finishing operations. This gage supports the last critical inspection step before parts move to shipment, assembly, or customer release.
In practical use, final inspection gaging helps verify that the recess remains acceptable after coating, plating, or other downstream processes that can influence usable form. It gives quality teams a repeatable way to confirm finished part readiness and maintain confidence in outgoing product.
Universal Punch designs precision gaging systems for demanding manufacturing environments where reliability, repeatability, and professional inspection performance are essential.
What This Gage Checks
- Finished internal 6-Lobe recess acceptance
- Post-process dimensional conformance
- Final inspection consistency before shipment
