Abstract
A thickness gauge is shown for measurement with each stroke of a metal blanking and cupping press. The gauge is adapted to be carried with the press ram adjacent to the blanking die. The gauge includes a thickness feeler plunger and reference support for carrying contact pins. The feeler and the support for the pins are mounted for relative motion with respect to the moving part of the press and for limited relative motion with respect to each other whereby the gauge can accommodate press overstroke and varying thicknesses of stock.
