For the most productive and efficient bore gage measuring solutions, it is beneficial to take some time to examine technology options. Choosing the right gage for your application will ultimately save tens of thousands of dollars and lead to increased accuracy. To begin the selection process, it is useful to review how you collect and record measurement data.
Machinists, inspectors and engineers use bore gages to check inside diameters of holes, cylinders and pipes. Dimensional part data are usually never collected. When collected, the data are often manually collected and entered into a Microsoft Excel .csv or .xls file so that basic tolerances can be controlled within a large lot quantity of parts, or documentation can be produced in the event of a commercial discrepancy.
