Bore gauges measure internal grooves
Accurate bore gauges that stand up to the rigors of shop-floor use are able to deliver exceptional accuracy and repeatability, when measuring critical plain bores and internal grooves.
Farsound Engineering, UK, operates a policy of continuous investment in people, new technology and total quality, as illustrated by the company's recently purchased Bowers XT Bore Gauges Phil Northfield, the company quality manager explained, "In addition to our comprehensive final inspection regime, each Farsound machine operator is responsible for the quality of their own output." Having completed a search for a range of accurate bore gauges that would stand-up to the rigors of shop-floor use, Northfield purchased Bowers XT gauges as they are able to deliver exceptional accuracy and repeatability, when measuring critical plain bores and internal grooves

Bowers offers circular version of Universal Gauge
Bowers Metrology has designed a specialised circular version of its Universal Gauge
The gauges' IP 65 rating ensures that they are sealed against the ingress of fluids such as coolant and oil rendering them ideal for high accuracy shop floor measurement.
Northfield continued, "From a component drawing Bowers were able to manufacture special anvils that allow our new gauges to accurately measure previously difficult to access critical internal grooves.
The new gauges' ease of use and clear digital display ensure that they are in continuous use, whilst their RS 232 output is extremely useful for downloading measured data into our important traceability records".
