Bowers Group has announced the release of its new XT Thread Gauging Sets, strengthening its portfolio of high-precision measurement solutions for manufacturers requiring accurate and repeatable internal thread inspection.
Developed to meet the evolving demands of modern production environments, the new range combines Bowers Group’s established three-point bore gauging technology with dedicated thread measurement capability. The system is designed to measure the effective/functional pitch diameter of internal threads, ensuring reliable assessment of fit and performance. The result is faster setup, consistent readings, and dependable performance across a wide range of thread forms and sizes.
Sets include either the XT3 digital micrometer controller or the XT Holematic featuring the ergonomic pistol grip controller for improved handling. Each set is supplied as a comprehensive kit, complete with interchangeable thread heads, setting rings, and accessories.
Unlike traditional hard screw gauges, the XT interchangeable thread heads provide a versatile and cost-effective alternative. By eliminating the need for multiple fixed gauges, manufacturers benefit from reduced tooling inventory, faster changeovers, and the ability to obtain actual measurement values rather than simple go/no-go results. The resulting data can then be collected via the built-in Bluetooth function to measure process capability
Designed for use across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and precision engineering, the XT systems support stringent quality requirements while improving shop-floor efficiency. Interchangeable heads allow users to measure multiple thread standards using a single gauge platform, reducing tooling costs and downtime.
Complementing the gauging sets are additional thread heads for expanded measurement coverage, as well as non-standard thread heads for specialist applications requiring tailored design.
The expanded XT Thread Gauging range underscores Bowers Group’s ongoing commitment to supporting precision manufacturers with modular, scalable, and application-driven metrology solutions.
