Abstract
The present invention relates to an automatic verification probe for verifying the proper installation of a fastener to a workpiece. In the preferred embodiment, a plurality of probes are used in a single press to test each fastener for proper installation. The probe has a fluid-operated extensible member mounted to the ram or base of the press. By extension of the member, each fastener is tested individually to verify proper location, absence of material in the thread cylinder and minimum retention capability.
