Checkplan to measure three Gap/Flush features on the
Hex Tool training artifact supplied with the GapGun.
The Square cut gap has square cut edges as found in
many industrial or aerospace applications, such as
panels on aircraft.
This feature has embossed lettering which shows how
the GapGun can ignore surface imperfections around
the feature when measuring.
The Hex Tool training artifact provides a wealth of
features to practice on. This guide uses three common
features.
The Rounded Gap consists of a gap and flush (step) that
have rounded edges as found on many consumer items
such as cars and white goods.
The Rounded, square gap has one side is rounded and
the other square, as found for example in automotive
ring gauges.
One side of this feature is set at an angle, to show how
the GapGun can cope with geometries that are
challenging to measure manually.
