The #1180 6-Lobe (TX) Penetration Gage is designed for inspecting internal 6-Lobe recess head screws where reliable form acceptance and depth verification are critical. This gage provides a consistent method for evaluating whether the recess geometry meets the intended dimensional requirement.
Penetration gaging helps verify that the recess has sufficient usable form after manufacturing and finishing processes. It is especially valuable in quality control environments where repeatability, quick setup, and inspection confidence matter.
Universal Punch designs its gaging systems for precision manufacturing environments that require dependable calibration, long service life, and professional inspection performance.

Universal Punch builds gaging products for precision manufacturing environments where dimensional confidence and repeatability matter. The #1180 gage is referenced to TXF-809 and TMF-809 and can be ordered with inch or metric dial indicators.
Gage probes are heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to help maximize wear life. Long-form calibration certificates provide NIST traceability, supporting controlled inspection workflows and long-term documentation requirements.
