Gaging & metrology

Inspection systems built around the fastener feature that matters.

Pack & Tool helps manufacturers select fixed, variable and fixture-based inspection systems for fastener geometry, threads, recesses, runout, length and special production requirements.

What does Pack & Tool inspect?

Fastener inspection from functional acceptance to variable measurement: internal and external forms, recesses, threads, concentricity, runout, wobble, length, protrusion, drill-point geometry and custom features.

Fixed gaging Variable measurement Fixture-based inspection Custom applications
Inspection families

Start with the measurement challenge.

The right gage begins with the feature, tolerance and production decision the inspection must support.

UNIVERSAL PUNCH
01

GO / NO-GO & final inspection

Functional and dimensional inspection for internal and external forms, final validation and wear-control applications.

  • Plug and ring GO / NO-GO
  • Final inspection
  • Wear and form validation
UNIVERSAL PUNCH
02

Recess & penetration inspection

Inspection of screw recesses, depth, penetration and drive geometry for fastener production.

  • Penetration
  • Recess depth
  • Drive-form inspection
UNIVERSAL PUNCH
03

Concentricity, runout & wobble

Measurement systems for rotating parts where the relationship between axes, surfaces and geometry must be verified.

  • Concentricity
  • Runout / TIR
  • Wobble
UNIVERSAL PUNCH
04

Length, height & geometry

Inspection of critical dimensions including length, head height, protrusion and drill-point web thickness.

  • Digital length
  • Head height / protrusion
  • Drill-point web thickness
UNIVERSAL PUNCH
05

Internal & external threads

Fixed and variable thread inspection using plugs, rings and measurement systems selected for the application.

  • Internal threads
  • External threads
  • Variable measurement / SPC by system
UNIVERSAL PUNCH
06

Tri-lobe & special applications

Inspection for specialized forms and custom fixtures when standard catalog gaging does not cover the production requirement.

  • Tri-lobe / Taptite
  • Styli and contacts
  • Custom gaging fixtures
Universal Punch technology

Fastener gaging technology with a direct path to French-market support.

Universal Punch designs and manufactures specialized fastener gaging systems for recess penetration, GO / NO-GO inspection, threads, concentricity, runout, wobble, length, protrusion and custom process validation. Pack & Tool is listed by Universal Punch as its France contact.

Application-first selection

Choose the gage after the inspection decision is clear.

A drawing alone does not always define the best inspection method. Pack & Tool frames the application around what production and quality teams actually need to know.

01

Define the characteristic

Identify what must be accepted, measured or monitored: geometry, tolerance, relationships between surfaces and inspection method.

02

Select the inspection architecture

Determine whether the application calls for GO / NO-GO, variable reading, a dedicated fixture or a custom gaging solution.

03

Validate the technical details

Review the print, material, production rate, manufacturing method, inspection environment and certification or traceability requirements.

04

Support the system after delivery

Pack & Tool supports maintenance, spare parts, recalibration and diagnostics for inspection equipment.

Support after delivery

The gage stays part of the production system.

Pack & Tool’s service offering includes gage recalibration, spare parts, maintenance, diagnostics and audits.

01

Recalibration

Maintain measurement confidence and documented control intervals.

02

Spare parts

Support wear items and replacement components for installed gaging.

03

Maintenance

Keep inspection equipment functional, repeatable and production-ready.

04

Diagnostics & audits

Review recurring inspection issues and identify the right corrective path.

FAQ

Common gaging questions.

What types of gaging does Pack & Tool support?+

Pack & Tool supports GO / NO-GO, final inspection, penetration, concentricity, runout, wobble, length, protrusion, drill-point web thickness, thread inspection and custom fixtures.

Can Pack & Tool work from a customer drawing?+

Yes. Inspection equipment can be selected from catalog solutions or developed around the drawing and application requirement.

What is the relationship with Universal Punch?+

Universal Punch is a major technology resource for fastener inspection solutions. Pack & Tool is currently listed by Universal Punch as its France contact.

What information should I send to start?+

The part print, feature to inspect, tolerances, material, production rate, manufacturing method and intended inspection method help define the correct solution quickly.

Are service and recalibration available?+

Yes. Pack & Tool states that it supports gage recalibration, spare parts, maintenance, diagnostics and audits.

Send the print. Define the decision.

Bring Pack & Tool the feature you need to control.

Include the drawing, tolerance, material and how the inspection result will be used. We can help narrow the correct architecture from there.
