CALIBRATION SERVICES
Gage Calibration
Fox Valley North Metrology / Thread Check Inc is comprised of five different calibration labs: a hard gage calibration lab, a dimensional inspection lab, an electronic calibration lab, a hand tool calibration & repair lab and a field service technicians group. Fox Valley North Metrology / Thread Check Inc can develop and implement a calibration program that is customized to your exact requirements. We also provide a FREE ONLINE CALIBRATION MANAGEMENT program which provides paperless management for all of your equipment. This service includes the ability to view and print the history of all your calibrations as well as an automatic recall system that reminds you when your gages are due for recalibration.
Go paperless and don’t go back! Fox Valley North Metrology remains the innovator of “Paperless Certifications” with new features added monthly. Certifications are now downloadable in Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) and have added new search engines for enhanced customer ease.

HARD GAGE CALIBRATION
The HARD GAGE calibration lab calibrates many different types of gages: Thread plug gages, thread ring gages, special thread gages, blocks, thread measuring wires, plug gages, cylindrical rings, master discs, gage blocks, tapered thread rings, tapered cylindrical gages, etc. Thread Check Inc and Fox Valley North Metrology have the expertise to build and calibrate special and complex gages and fixtures.
HAND TOOL CALIBRATION & REPAIR
The HAND TOOL calibration and REPAIR lab is responsible for calibrating and repairing many different hand tool types such as pitch micrometers, indicator calibrators, dial snap gages, etc.
ELECTRONIC CALIBRATION & REPAIR
The ELECTRONIC CALIBRATION LAB calibrates many different types of electronic equipment including digital multimeters, thermal couples, function generators, etc.
DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION
The DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION LAB specializes in performing dimensional inspections using state of the art software and inspection equipment such as the Zeiss Eclipse and the COORD3 ARES CMM. We also have the capabilities to do full non-contact vision inspection.
FIELD SERVICE
Our FIELD SERVICE technicians group has the ability to travel to your place of business to perform calibrations on your hard gages, electronics or hand tools. This minimizes the risk and inconvenience of shipping large and expensive equipment as well as any downtime your company may experience by sending them out.
HARD GAGE CALIBRATION
Fox Valley North Metrology/ Thread Check Inc. use state of the art equipment to ensure the highest degree of measurement uncertainty. With this equipment, and our custom-designed software, FVNM is able to offer you the best possible turnaround time, and pricing in the industry. The hard gage calibration lab is held at 68°F with relative humidity not to exceed 45%. Both temperature and humidity are closely monitored by our Honeywell environmental control unit. We also have a suspended floor to help avoid unnecessary vibration and ensure a good measurement uncertainty of all of our equipment.
When your gages arrives at the hard gage lab, they have already been thoroughly cleaned and inspected for shipping damage. Gages sit in the lab for 24 hours in order to acclimate to our lab conditions. When the gages are calibrated, they are also closely inspected for nicks, burrs, and corrosion; then re-cleaned and stickered. When packaged for return, gages are either coated in dip-seal, or oiled and wrapped in bubble wrap, and boxed securely. Calibration pricing includes cleaning, and level 4 certification. Currently, our average turnaround is 3-4 days.

Pratt & Whitney Laserruler
The Pratt & Whitney Laserruler is a linear machine with 8 inches of travel and a measurement uncertainty of 5µin through 7 inches. With software, it can be set up to calculate the temperature coefficient and adjust for humidity, barometric pressure, etc. Capabilities include: Plug gages, Pin Gages, Gage Blocks (grade 3 and under), Depth Mic Masters and Thread Wires.
Pratt & Whitney Supermicrometer
The Pratt & Whitney Supermicrometer has a 10 inch travel and a measurement uncertainty of 17µin over 1 inch of travel. It is extremely accurate for thread gaging. With a RS232 output that is directly networked to our software, we are capable of entering data at the touch of a button. Some capabilities include thread plugs, thread setting plugs, thickness gages, and length standards.
ULM Opal 600 Universal Linear Measurement Machine
ULM Opal 600 Universal Linear Measurement Machine is used to measure cylindrical rings, non-standard thread rings, length standards and gage blocks up to 24″. The Opal features computer assisted temperature correction.
Helios UMG50 Plug Gage Comparator
Helios UMG50 Plug Gage Comparator is used to calibrate cylindrical plug and pin gages, thread plugs and thread setting plugs up to 4″ in diameter. The portable size of this comparator allows us to come in to your facility to perform on-site calibration.
Tesa Dual Head Gage Block Comparator
Tesa Dual Head Gage Block Comparator is used to check gage blocks that are Grade 2 and higher. This comparator also gives us the ability to check the flatness of your gage blocks.

The Series 400 Amplifier
The Series 400 Amplifier is a sophisticated yet easy to use instrument with a modular surface texture program. All models feature a vacuum fluorescent display and sealed membrane keypad. An RS-232 communication port is standard (RS-485 optional), along with a remote start switch port and lockout key switch.
Battery power is included on all models with the graphic plotter, and is optional on all other models.
Operation is at once simple, sophisticated and secure. The instrument is configured by an easy-to-use set-up menu. The user selects the proper settings for the cutoff, stroke length, standard 2RC and Gaussian filters (Rk filter optional), parameter functions, serial port and plotter operation. Set the exact stroke length required or use the standard 5-cutoffs. After setting, the programming can be secured by a turn of the lockout key, which prevents inadvertent changes. Once configured, the system operates by pressing the Start Button or through use of an optional remote start switch.
The Skid-Reference Piloter
Skid-referenced systems are designed to measure normal I.D., O.D., and flat surfaces. The skid-referenced motor drive (piloter) contains a motor which moves the linkarm with the tracer across the surface to be sampled. The tracers have skidpads which establish a reference line. The transducer translates the vertical motion of the diamond tip stylus in relation to the reference line. The piloter traverses at a speed of 0.1 in/sec (2.54 mm/sec) for the travel length specified and can be set to acquire data in either direction. Our patented Lite-Touch Linkarm protects the tracer and su
