#1281 EXTRA (TXP) GO PENETRATION GAGE
The Universal Punch #1281 EXTRA (TXP) GO Penetration Gage is engineered for in-process manufacturing inspection of internal hexalobular Plus (TXP) drive recess fasteners.
Manufactured in accordance with CIQ-804.1 and CIQ-804.2 standard references, this GO penetration inspection gage provides a fast, accurate, and repeatable method for verifying internal drive geometry during production. The #1281 TXP Gage is used to confirm that internal recess features meet dimensional requirements to ensure proper tool engagement and torque transfer during assembly operations.
Fasteners that properly accept the GO element within specified tolerances are considered acceptable for continued production use. This inspection process helps reduce installation failures caused by improperly formed internal recesses and ensures consistency across high-volume manufacturing environments.
Universal Punch gage probes are heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to provide additional hardness for maximum wear resistance. All probe elements are calibrated to specified dimensional tolerances and are directly traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
SPC-compatible digital indicator systems are available for integration into statistical process control programs.
