Pin gage identification
I am looking for some advice regarding pin gage identification.
I work for a small CNC/Screw machine job shop. The standard pin gages sets we use for production range
from .011 – 1.000 ( pretty common).The problem I am having is with identifying the gages for our calibration program. Often I will have multiple jobs running on the shop floor that require the use of the same pin gages. Thus, requiring multiple sets of pin gages. If I am to track calibration results and status I must be able to identify the individual gages. I could scribe or etch the end of the pins on some of the larger gages but this does not seem very practical with smaller pins. Anyone willing to share how they have handled this?
Thanks!
