Understanding The Evolution Of Air Gaging

Air gaging is known as a contact-free form of gaging. It is a stellar option for measuring extremely thin-walled parts of soft materials. Other common applications include measuring straightness, center-distances, squareness, tapers, average diameters, and more. Air gaging is accurate, fast, and readily used in a wide range of production environments. In addition, its tooling has largely remained the same over the years, i.e. precision orifices with steel rings or tubes that set up a distance/pressure curve when in use. Here is a further look at how air gaging has evolved over the years.
