All Universal Punch gaging products are calibrated using certified measuring equipment and master standards that are directly traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.).

Our internal laboratory procedures ensure that all gages conform to applicable ISO 10664 hexalobular drive specifications and related manufacturing standards.

Measuring equipment and reference masters are maintained in accordance with ISO/IEC traceability requirements. Certification processes and quality procedures conform to ISO/IEC Guide 17025 standards for calibration and testing laboratories.

Optional long-form UL certifications to N.I.S.T. are available upon request.

This traceability structure ensures documented compliance, audit readiness, and confidence for aerospace, automotive, medical, and regulated manufacturing environments.

Universal Punch #1180 TX 6-Lobe Penetration Gage probes are manufactured from high-grade tool steel and are heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to ensure maximum durability and dimensional stability.

Each probe undergoes controlled hardening and stabilization processes to minimize distortion and maintain long-term geometric accuracy under repeated use in production environments.

Surface treatments are applied to enhance wear resistance and extend service life, even in high-cycle manufacturing applications.

All gage probes are precision ground to specified dimensions and tolerances. Calibration is performed using certified master standards to ensure conformity to required geometry and penetration depth criteria.

The result is a robust, production-ready inspection tool engineered for repeatability, longevity, and consistent performance.
