The part is automatically presented to the gage and measured without operator intervention. Inline devices are automatic gages used in a production line. In semi-automatic systems, a part is presented manually to the gage or gaging system and then measured automatically.
Gages are mounted on or within a machine tool or equipment for tool setup or travel measurement. Test indicators, dial indicators and micrometer heads are examples of gages that are often machine mounted.

Ring gages are production functional gages for go / no-go assessment compared to specified tolerances of the dimensions or attributes of pins, shafts, or threaded studs.
Thread gage using thread wires to gage thread size with one wire mounted in one holder and two wires mounted in a second holder. The holders are placed in the measuring gage and brought in contact with the threads.
Micrometers are instruments for precision dimensional gaging. They consist of a ground spindle and anvil mounted in a C-shaped steel frame. Micrometers are available in scale, digital, and dial variations.
Specialized thread gage employing three thread rolls and a digital or dial display. The thread gaging rolls can be interchanged to measure different thread sizes.
Specialized wire manufacturing to precise gage sizes for measuring external threads. The wire is wrapped or placed in the thread cavity and then a measurement is made with a micrometer or other OD gage.
Non-contact gages and gaging systems measure the dimensional features of a part without making contact with these features. Typically, non-contact instruments are used when a part's function or assembly does not allow for marring or damage to the part during measurement. NDT thread verification probes fall into this category. An eddy current thread verfication gage can detect and verify the presense of the correct thread pitch and size.
Screw thread insert (STI) gages, (helical coil gages, helicoil gages) are used where a screw thread insert will be used. STI gages are widely applied in the automotive industry.

Devices include dial displays, column/bargraphs, and direct reading scales. Dial displays use a pointer or needle mounted in a graduated, disc dial. The dial provides an indication of dimension or position around or from a zero reference point with dial graduations or styles, such as 10-0-10, 45-0-45, 4-0-4 or 50-0-50. Column and bargraph displays provide a graphical presentation of dimensional data. Direct reading graduated scales have rulings or graduations engraved or printed onto a linear, disc, or drum surface that provides a direct indication of the gaged dimension. Vernier scales provide additional amplification or an increased level of precision (e.g., thousandths).
Digital display types present metrology data in numeric or alphanumeric form. Micrometers, calipers, and indicators are available with digital displays. Gages with digital displays often have data output capabilities using serial or other formats. Digital readouts are a precision type of digital display integrated into dimensional gages or systems.

Go gages provide a precision tool for production comparative gaging based on a fixed limit. Go gages consist of a fixed limit gage with a gaging limit based on the plus or minus tolerances of the inspected part. A go ring gage's dimensions are based on the maximum OD tolerance of the round bar or part being gaged. A go plug gage's dimensions are based on the minimum ID tolerance of the hole or part being gaged. The go plug (ID) gage should be specified to a plus gagemakers' tolerance from the minimum part tolerance. The go ring (OD) gage should be specified to a minus gagemakers' tolerance from the maximum part tolerance.
No-go or not-go gages provide a precision tool for production comparative gaging based on a fixed limit. No-go gages consist of a fixed limit gage with a gaging limit based on the minimum or maximum tolerances of the inspected part. A no-go ring gage's dimensions are based on the minimum OD tolerance of the round bar or part being gaged. A no-go plug gage's dimensions are based on the maximum ID tolerance of the hole or part being gaged. The no go plug (ID) gage should be specified to a minus gagemakers' tolerance from the maximum part tolerance. The no go ring (OD) gage should be specified to a plus gagemakers' tolerance from the minimum part tolerance.
Double-ended go / no-go gages have a go gage pin on one end and a no-go gage pin on opposite end of the handle. Go / no-go gages provide a precision tool for production comparative gaging based on fixed limits. Go / no-go gages consist of a fixed limit gage with two gaging limits based on the plus/minus tolerances of the inspected part.
Progressive or step go / no-go gages are manufactured in the form of stepped pins with the go gage surface and the no-go gage surface on the same side of the handle. The gage can save time since the gage does not have to be reversed for no go gaging. Go / no-go gages provide a precision tool for production comparative gaging based on fixed limits. Go / no-go gages consist of a fixed limit gage with two gaging limits based on the plus / minus tolerances of the inspected part.
Master gage blocks, master or setting discs, and setting rings are types of master gages used to calibrate or set micrometers, comparators, or other gaging systems. Working gages are used in the shop for dimensional inspection and periodically checked against a master gage.
Fixed limit or step gages are specialized thread plug gages for gaging taper pipe threads. Notches or external steps indicate maximum and minimum allowable tolerances.
