#9100 Penetration Gaging Stations – Modular Inspection System
The #9100 Penetration Gaging Station is a modular inspection platform designed to provide fast, repeatable penetration depth measurement of fastener recesses in production and laboratory environments.
Designed in accordance with ASME B18.6.4 and ASME B18.6.5M standards, the 9100 Series enables rapid probe interchangeability while utilizing a single electronic digital indicator to measure penetration depth across multiple drive types and sizes.
This self-contained organized system is engineered for efficiency, durability, and long-term dimensional stability.
The system features:
• Interchangeable hardened penetration probes
• Single high-resolution digital indicator
• Quick-change probe assemblies
• All-steel construction
• Hard chrome plated components for wear resistance
• SPC output capability
• Compatibility with most data processors
The 9100 Series is designed for use in:
• Shop floor production environments
• Inspection rooms
• Aerospace manufacturing
• Automotive assembly
• Fastener manufacturing facilities
• Quality control laboratories
The quick-disconnect feature allows probe changes without hand tools, significantly reducing inspection time and improving throughput.
The system supports statistical process control, enabling digital data capture and integration into quality management systems.
