Abstract
A flexible, modular gage system is presented for statistical process control to compare the delta dimensional difference between a master part with known dimensional values to one or more manufactured production parts. A main feature of the invention is the gage that holds measurement devices, such as a transducer probe. The components of the modular auto gage allow position of analog, digital or mechanical measurement devices in virtually any position, being limited only by the part-holding device or interference with other measurement devices. Measurement devices once positioned can remain stationary or attached to a precision pneumatic slide. The pneumatic slide retracts the measurement device to allow easy loading and unloading of the part to be gaged.
