Abstract
To evaluate a fastener, a cam that is contoured to correspond to a relationship between a first dimension of the fastener and a second dimension of the fastener is utilized. The cam is movable between a first position and a second position and the fastener is evaluated based on whether an electrical connection is completed when contact occurs between the cam and the fastener while the cam is moved from the first position to the second position.
