PART MASTERS

• Part Type Masters are used extensively in the automotive industry. Typi- cally used on shop floor inspection equipment as artifacts that reference the equipment, typical applications are: rotor, drum, connecting rod, cam- shaft, piston and crankshafts. • Almost every variable gage in use has a part master associated with it . •

All masters are made out of Tool Steel, hardened to 58-62 RC and dou- ble stabilized. Chrome plate is available (not used in areas where car- bide probes touch the master). In cases where the gage might be used in a corrosive environment, 440-C Stainless Steel may be used. Certain tight manufacturing tolerance applications may need min., mean and max. condition masters for greater accu- racy when setting the gage fixture. • Our Engineering department will be pleased to review your part master needs.

DESIGN AND BUILD FIXTURES

• GSG provides the capability of solving your custom gage problems. We can offer turn key systems (design and build) or just build to the customers design. • GSG design and build incorporates much of the expertise shown in this brochure using our ability to work with close toler- ances, thread experience together with Zero Systems products. • GSG offers various holding solutions for complex shapes including thread ID and OD products which in turn allows us to provide repeatable ways of locating parts which are often the cause of non repeatability in gage fixtures. • GSG can provide part masters fully certified for the gage which is the foundation of the gage accuracy. • GSG follows strict criteria, with a design review in the initial design stage to a full R&R acceptance on variable gages. • Because GSG is A2LA accredited, all attribute gages have the backing of our laboratory certification. • Combined with our experience in fixed limit gages, GSG can offer both variable and attribute type fixtures.
