Looking for Length Gauge Vendors

Hello-

I am looking for vendors who manufacture go/no go gauges for lengths. We are looking to check dimensions (length & width) of our parts after they are burnt out on our plasma burn table. Legnths are anywhere from 2" to 6 feet.

Any suggestions/help would be great. I am looking for something to buy rather than make in-house.

Thanks!

Re: Length Gauge Vendors?

Could you tell us more about what you're trying to do? Do you have parts that might be 6' long by 2" wide? 6' square? I'm having trouble understanding what an attributes gage might look like.

18" wide, 62.73" long cut out of 1/2" plate.
Tolerance is +/- 1/16"

Is just one example. We don't check any parts off our burn table which creates rework in our welding cells. We want to be able to check them, go/no-go.
Thanks!

Thanks. I'm still not seeing how an attributes gage would work. Are you looking for something off-the-shelf, or a custom gage?

Re: Length Gauge Vendors?

I would like something off the shelf but I don't belive it exists for the low volume industry I am in. So, a custom gauge would seem best but most of the companies I have contacted specialize in automative, high production volume gauges and aren't alot of help. They have very expensive solutions whereas I just need a simple one.

You say you're looking for a go/no-go device, but it sounds to me like you would need more than one. If it's some kind of fixed attribute gage you're looking for, there would need to be one for each product or size.

With a tolerance of ?.016, and a process that's apparently not capable, why not just use a tape measure or scale and get a good handle on what the process is capable of producing?

Re: Length Gauge Vendors?

Totally agree with you. We have been checking the parts as they come off the table and I would say they are in spec 75% of the time. I am being pushed by, lets call him a "quality at the source expert" to get certified gauges for checking parts to be able to detect bad parts. I would like to just verify with a tape but that isn't enough. Hence I am lost.
