Product Example 16: Position of Taper (male)

This example features our "hand held" TĀCOMP Stub gage with a Special Stage Set and Setting Master for checking position of taper on a large military projectile.  The TĀCOMP Stub gage was chosen over the Model 10 Dow-Gage because of the size of the part being checked.  While the Model 10 Dow-Gage limits the size of the Special Stage Sets to approximately five inches in diameter and five to six inches in height, Special Stage Sets for the TĀCOMP Stub are limited in size by only what is practical to lift and place on the part.  To reduce weight, large slots were milled in the Special Stage.  The Special Master simulates the part, with a dimension held from the end face to a gage diameter located on the large tapered O.D.  In this application, the inspector grips the TĀCOMP Stub and lowers the gage over the end of the projectile, reading deviation from mean zero on the dial indicator.
