COMPANY HISTORY
By the second quarter of 1993, the PROTOOL group had become resolute on materializing its objective of setting
up a specialized production facility, to produce and supply Precision Mechanical Limit Gauges to the South-East
Asian market. PROGAGE Precision Engineering Pte Ltd was to be the first of her kind in Singapore.
Directors of the Protool group of companies, with their team of veteran engineers alongside, began structuring the
development of the organization and expedited all the necessary preparations for the various areas of technology
transfer that were vital to this specialised field of engineering.
The new manufacturing premises launched its official public offering of precision gauges by November that year.
In addition to its embarkation on the supply of precision limit gauges , the facility also provided general engineering
services to support and partner with local industries in the following areas :
1. Engineering design services, including (but not limited to) the production and supply of Precision Jigs & Fixtures.
2. Production and supply of Special Purpose Gauges & Precision Threaded Components.
PROGAGE is currently entering into its 18th year of operations as a pioneering, Singapore-based, precision gauge
manufacturer. The company continues to see steady growth in demand for her in-house line of mechanical and
automated gauging instruments, both locally and in neighbouring markets.

VISION
With much emphasis placed primarily on Precision Manufacturing, our company is firmly resolved on becoming
Asias premium supplier of High Quality Precision Measuring Tools.
The globalized engineering industry of today, is all about quality, accuracy and assurance. Hence, ISO Standards
are fast becoming a staple value-added requirement for any business entity hoping to build multi-national
business dealings.
Also, we see that manufacturing houses in Asia are fast becoming recognizable players on a global scale; more
precisely in the areas of large scale MIlitary & Ordance, Aerospace and Automotive Manufacturing. All of them
require sophiscated machinery paired with mechanical precision gauging instruments to calibrate, inspect and
thus preserve accuracy standards throughout the many stages of their production process.
With this in mind, we at PROGAGE take pride in providing you with essential, comphrehensive, accurate and yet
suprisingly cost-effective precision measuring solutions.

PROCESS BIAS
The inherent problem of Centerless Grinding is the 3, 5 or 7 point lobing which occurs during the manufacturing
stage. Most manufacturers simply proceed to lap their gauges for efficiency in size and finish. To the naked
eye, the appearance of the final product is good. In reality however, the lobed segments are still present when
observed under close magnification.

3 - LOBED

5 - LOBED

7 - LOBED

TRUE - ROUND

FINISHING
Add to that an improperly finished or unpolished gauging surface, and all you will be left with is a precision
measuring instrument that is in actuality, unfit for its intended purpose. The microscopic burrs that are present
equate to highly inaccurate measurements as well as rapid wear and tear during your inspection process.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

About The Company

Company History & Vision

In real-time application, your Precision Measuring Tool if properly manufactured, should contact a workpiece
evenly at a full 360 degrees inside or around its circumfrence, rather than at 3, 5 or 7 points if lobing were to be
present. The added bonus of a carefully polished gauging surface not only gaurantees longer gauging life but more
importantly, higher levels of accuracy.

Production Errors
PROGAGE Quality Assurance

Here at PROGAGE, sheer dedication to our craft, plus the numerous years of manufacturing experience has thus
enabled us to develop our own formulas and procedures. These are then paired to best suit the various materials we
work with. Tempering, shaping, polishing and final calibration are all done in-house. All of our carefully calculated
processes are excuted with the utmost stringency, ensuring true roundness, greater material strength and pristine
surface finishing. Accuracy guaranteed.

What this means for you, is that you end up with a defect-free product that you can place your confidence in.

PLAIN LIMIT GAUGES.

Reversible, Taper-lock & Tri-lock Plugs . Plain Rings & Ring sets .
These are mechanical measuring tools used in the production lines to guarantee that all machining which took
place was performed accurately. They differ from each other in the type of surface these Gauges are applied to
when checking for compliance with predetermined dimensions. Plug-shaped for internal round holes, fork-shaped
for external holes, ring-shaped for external cylindrical holes, with particular shapes in the case of special master
gauges.
Essentially, Gauging Members are suitably dimensioned and manufactured with high levels of stringency so that the
GO master fits snugly into the machined area, while the NO-GO master does not.
A wide range of GO & NO-GO fixed gauges are available for checking smooth interior and exterior diameters, as
well as the length or depth of bores and et cetera.
The parameters most frequently associated with are:
Internal diameters and depth of holes.
Outside (external) diameters (shafts).
Length and thickness.

THREAD LIMIT GAUGES.

Thread Plugs . Thread Rings . Master Thread Plugs & Ring Sets .
A wide range of Go / No-Go fixed gauges are available for checking inside and outside threaded diameters,
so as to ensure accuracy during your machining process. This ensures a snug fit between threaded components,
which in turn phases out the loosening of screw-fastened joints in your final work piece.
A Thread Plug GO gauge checks the minimum major diameter and the minimum pitch diameter size in a part, the
NO-GO checks for the hole not to exceed the maximum pitch diameter size in a part.
A Thread Ring GO gauge checks the maximum minor diameter and the maximum pitch diameter size in a part,
the NO-GO checks for the part not to exceed the minimum pitch diameter size on a part.
Essentially, Gauging Members are suitably dimensioned and manufactured with high levels of accuracy so that the
GO master turns and sets fully into the machined area, while the NO-GO master does not.
Our line of Precision Thread Gauges can be manufactured to any recognized national standard :
JIS - Japanese Industrial Standard
ISO - International Organized Standards
ANSI / ASME - American International Standards
DIN - German International Standards
BS 969 - British Standards
All PROGAGE Thread Gauges are made of Tempered, Oil hardened Tool Steel.

AIR SPINDLES.
Air Gauges . Non-contact Type . (Air columns sold seperately) .
Air micrometers are precision comparator type measuring instruments that employ air flow volumes
and air pressure to determine the dimensions of a part in question. Say for example, the diameter of
an internal bore. Its operation is non-contact and is as simple as presenting a tool (an air gauge,
connected to an air column) to a work piece and then observing a reading.
A wide range of hand-held air gauges (officially referred to as Air Spindles), can be purchased inaccordance to your application requirements - i.e. the size or type of bore you are presenting your air
gauge to.
They are connected to an air-flow or digital-type Air Column and are used in the same way you
would use a plain plug gauge.

TAPER GAUGES.
Morse Taper Plugs & Rings . Taper Thread Plugs & Rings .
Taper gages are used to check the taper and reference diameters (diameters of the large and small end faces) of
products with tapered bores or holes. This is a manual type of gauging system consisting of a set of gages fitted
together, namely, a plain taper plug gauge and a plain taper ring gauge.
The depth of a tapered bore that is to be evaluated, can be measured by how deep the reference end face fits
into the gage. The optimum tolerance depth is usually indicated with a notch, or by a line drawn on the larger
end face of the taper plug gauge.
The common types of taper in supply are:
Morse taper
National taper
Brown & Sharp taper.

www.protool-engineering.com

Taper Thread Plug & Ring gauges specified by the ISO 7/1 standard are used to counter-check the tightness in the
seal of threaded parts that require little or no tolerance allowance at all. Say for example, connecting-threads
on components that deal with the transfer of fluids i.e - Piping for the transfer of fuel or industrial oil.
The Taper Thread Plug is used to inspect whether the male taper thread of the pipe and the female taper thread
of the coupling meets density resistance specifications. This then applies vice versa for the Taper Thread Ring.

Taper Thread Gauges are supplied in the following classes :

PT - Conventional JIS Standard
Specified in the US Standard (ANSI)
NPT - American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread
NPTF - Dry seal American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread.

PROGAGE

BLOCK GAUGES.
Supplied as Box Sets .
A gauge block (also known as a slip gauge or Jo block) is a precision ground (and lapped) length measuring
standard. They are used as a reference for the calibration of precision measuring equipment used in machine
shops, such as micrometers, sine bars, calipers, and dial indicators (tools used in an inspection role) and are still the
main means of length standardization used by the industry today.
Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks of various lengths, along with two wear blocks, to allow a wide variety of
standard lengths to be made up by stacking them. Each gauge block is essentially a block of metal or ceramic
with two opposing faces ground precisely flat and parallel, a precise distance apart. Standard grade blocks are
made of a hardened steel alloy, while our calibration grade blocks are often made of tungsten carbide, a tougher
alloy which renders these blocks harder and more resistant to wear and tear overtime.
In use, select blocks are removed from the set, cleaned of their protective coating (petroleum jelly or oil) and
wrung(1) together, advisably, using the minimum number of blocks to form a stack of the required dimension.
Wear blocks, made of a harder substance like tungsten carbide, are included at each end of the stack whenever
possible, to protect the actual gauge blocks from being damaged or worn down when in use.
Note that gauge blocks are calibrated to be at their most accurate at approximately 20 C and should be kept at
this temperature when taking measurements. This mitigates the effects of thermal expansion. Also, the length of
each block is actually slightly (microns) shorter than the nominal length stamped on it, because the
stamped length includes the length of one wring film, a film of lubricant which separates adjacent block faces
in normal use.
www.protool-engineering.com

SLIDE OVER
WITH PRESSURE.

Wringing is the process of sliding two blocks together so that their faces lightly
bond.

(1)

The process of wringing involves four steps:

1: Wiping a clean gauge block across an oiled pad.
2: Wiping any extra oil off the gauge block using a dry pad.
3: The block is then slid perpendicularly across the other block while applying
moderate pressure until they form a cruciform.
4: Finally, the block is rotated until it is in line with the other block.
After use, the blocks are once again oiled or greased to protect against corrosion.

PROGAGE

SPLINE GAUGES.
Spline Plugs . Spline Rings . Spline Plug & Ring Sets .
Spline gauges are essentially, hand-held go and no-go Plug or Ring gauges for work pieces with splined
protrusions. They are used as a quick inspection method for splines with Involute, Straight-sided and Serrated flanks.
Take for example gauging the accuracy of teethes on gears. The most important aspect when inspecting
splines is probably to check on its usability based on the accuracy of it flanks. These are tested with spline ring
gauges.
Spline gauges are strictly designed according to actual and effective tolerances. In the same way that
other types of limit gauges are manufactured, Gauging Members for Spline Gauges are suitably dimensioned
and manufactured with high levels of stringency so that the GO master fits snugly into or over the machined
area, while the NO-GO master does not.
Spline Gauges manufactured are customer specific. Your work piece drawing should include all necessary dimensions and tolerances.
In cases where customers have no complete drawings, PROTOOL can provide you with design services. Kindly
contact our sales staff or technicians for more details. Finalized gauge drawings will be submitted to customers
for their approval beforeany physical manufacturing takes place.

The CHAMFER GAGE is a precision gauging instrument designed specifically to measure the top (major) diameter
of a chamfer, countersink, center drill, or tapered hole.
Merely press the spring loaded, conically ground, precision Gaging Plunger into the chamfer or countersink hole
and obtain an instant read-out on the dial indicator in .001" or .01mm/.02mm diameter increments.

SPECIALIZED LIMIT GAUGES.

Non-conventional Limit Gauges . Solid-Type Plug & Ring Combinations .
When conventional mechanical limit gauges fall short of solving complex or case specific metrology requirements,
dedicated solutions are fabricated. These special tools often come with two or more varying types of gauging
surfaces (e.g. Plain Plug Gauges with threads or stepped segments incorporated into them, for use in the measuring
of intricate bores.)
Gauges like the ones shown on the opposite page are activity specific and custom-manufactured to suit your
non-conventional gauging requirements. Share with us what it is you seek to measure, and well conceptualize a
solution for you. We guarantee to be well accommodative of your needs.
It is essential that your work piece drawing include all crucial dimensions and tolerances. In cases where customers

PRECISION BALL GAUGES.

Precision Ball Plugs . Single Piece . Precision Ball Guage Set .
The measuring of internal diameters, spaces between two surfaces and the width of grooves and threads are
some of the broadest applications for Precision Ball Gauges. Our Custom Gauge Balls are an excellent way to
o
check bore diameters as they have minimal contact friction and do not stick or bind. Due to the 360 line of
contact, you can immediately detect if the hole in question is barrel shaped (large in the center), bell mouthed
(small in the center), or tapered.
Precision Gauge Balls and Ball Plug Gauges can be used for checking:
- The size of a Radius.
- Pitch diameter of screw threads or gears.
- The center line dimension between holes.
- Calibration of other inspection instruments.
Choice of Materials:
- D2 Tool Steel
- Tungsten Carbide
- Ceramic
- Ruby
Ball Plug Gauges:
Precision balls make first-rate inspection tools, but loose balls are very hard to work with. This problem is solved by
attaching a stem and handle to a ball for use as a plug gauge. They then have a rather unique advantage over
conventional inspection methods and are excellent for use in confined areas even when the actual hole or groove
being measured cannot be seen by the inspector. The innate spherical shape provides a self-centering line of
contact that can be inserted into a hole being measured at any angle, without any alignment problems.
Two ball plug gages can be mounted on a standard AGD handle to make a Go & No-Go Ball Gage.
Ball Plug Gages can be manufactured to X, XX, or XXX tolerances and can be modified with a flat surface to
measure blind holes or otherwise modified to meet various application styles.

SNAP GAUGES.
Plain Snap Gauges . Thread Snap Gauges . Adjustable Snap Gauges .
Snap Gauges provide a quick and easy method of checking outside diameters, grooved diameters or width
dimensions. When these gauges are manufactured, GO and NO-GO tolerance dimensions of the component
being checked are set into the snap gauge.
They are oftentimes used when a large quantity of workpieces must be inspected. The snap gauge has four
anvils or jaws, the first one or pair (outermost) are set using the upper limit (GO tolerance) of the part and the
inner set adjusted to the lower limit (NO-GO tolerance) of the part.
A correctly machined part will pass the first set of jaws and stop at the second set of jaws. And thats it, end of test.
In this manner, a part may be checked in one action, unlike the plug gauge that needs to be used twice and
flipped to access the second gauge.

Conceptualize . Design . Fabricate . Use .
PROGAGE excels in the conceptualization and fabrication of Location-check Jigs and its corresponding fixtures.
These specialized systems are ideal for multiple-point inspection and can be applied on a vast array of areas :
- Angle, depth and location checks.
- Internal diameters & depth of plain or threaded bores.
- Accuracy in bore placement & spacing.
- Chamfer depth (paired with mechanical dial indicators)
- Consistency in roundness
- Consistency in surface flatness and et cetera.
Heres the scenario, you conduct batch testing on your manufactured components which frequently involves
gauging multiple points in a single pass, but the use of sophiscated machinery utilizing infrared technology or optics
is too costly and impractical...
And so, we fabricate a specialized housing unit encompassing pin-pointed slots and precision fixtures, specifically
suited to your components dimensions. You simply mount your component onto the housing unit and insert the
relevant fixtures. If everything slots into place perfectly, youll know immediately that your manufacturing process
was accurate. Quick and foolproof to operate, efficient, accurate and more importantly, highly cost effective.
All Jigs and Fixtures are built to order and as such, longer lead times are required. We guarantee however, to see
you through the whole process from start to finish and leave you with a more than satisfactory end result.
