#1290 Extra (TXP) Tamper Resistant Penetration Gage
Universal Punch Corp. | Precision Gaging
Precision penetration gaging for internal Extra (TXP) tamper-resistant recess head screws. Designed to verify minimum acceptable recess form and penetration depth for security fasteners where reliable driver engagement and controlled recess geometry are critical.
Product Overview
The #1290 Extra (TXP) Tamper Resistant Penetration Gage is designed for inspecting internal tamper-resistant Extra (TXP) recess screws where minimum acceptable recess form and penetration depth must be verified. The gage provides a repeatable method for evaluating whether the recess remains within the intended usable condition for secure fastening systems.
Penetration gaging helps quality teams verify recess geometry after manufacturing and finishing processes. This is particularly important for tamper-resistant drive systems used in security-sensitive equipment and assemblies.
Universal Punch manufactures these gages for precision inspection environments where dimensional stability, repeatability, and long wear life are required.
What This Gage Checks
- Minimum acceptable tamper-resistant recess form
