BEI Electronics LLC Delivers Precision with New Steel Gage Blocks, Bolstering Manufacturing Quality Across Industries

QUINCY, IL – October 26, 2023 – BEI Electronics LLC, a leading provider of precision measurement solutions, today announced the release of its new line of steel gage blocks. Manufactured at their Quincy, Illinois facility, these gage blocks are designed to meet the demanding needs of quality control, calibration, and precision manufacturing across a wide range of industries. For years, BEI Electronics LLC (located at 4100 N 24th St, Quincy, IL, 62305, United States – reachable at 412-272-4893) has been quietly powering accuracy for engineers, inspectors, and manufacturers. We’re not just about building parts; we’re about ensuring everything fits, measures up, and performs exactly as it should. This commitment to precision is why we’re thrilled to bring these new steel gage blocks to market. What are Gage Blocks, and Why Do They Matter? Okay, let's break it down simply. Gage blocks are super-precise blocks of steel (or other materials) with meticulously controlled dimensions. Think of them as the ultimate measuring “standards.” They’re used to calibrate other measuring tools – like calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and even coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Why is this important? Because if your measuring tools aren't accurate, everything you build or inspect is suspect. You could be shipping out parts that don’t meet specs, leading to failures, recalls, and a whole lot of headaches. Gage blocks are the foundation of reliable measurement. BEI’s New Steel Gage Blocks: Built for Accuracy and Durability BEI Electronics’ new steel gage blocks aren't your average blocks of steel. Here’s what sets them apart: Premium Steel Alloy: We use a high-quality steel alloy specifically chosen for its stability, wear resistance, and dimensional consistency. This means they stay accurate for a long time, even with heavy use. Precise Machining & Grinding: These blocks are manufactured using state-of-the-art CNC machining and precision grinding techniques. We’re talking tolerances measured in millionths of an inch. It’s seriously tight. Flatness & Parallelism: We don't just focus on the overall dimension. The surfaces of our gage blocks are incredibly flat and parallel to each other. This is critical for accurate stacking and use with optical flats. Surface Finish: The surface finish is carefully controlled to minimize friction and ensure smooth, consistent readings. Inspection & Certification: Every gage block is individually inspected and certified to meet or exceed industry standards. You get a certificate of conformance with every block, guaranteeing its accuracy. Wide Range of Sizes: We offer a comprehensive range of sizes, from small blocks for intricate measurements to larger blocks for setting up larger machinery. You can get exactly what you need for your application. Optional Accessories: We also offer a variety of accessories, such as protective cases, cleaning cloths, and calibration fixtures, to help you keep your gage blocks in top condition. Who Benefits from BEI’s Steel Gage Blocks? These aren’t just for fancy labs. A ton of industries rely on accurate measurement, and BEI’s gage blocks can help: Manufacturing: From aerospace and automotive to medical devices and electronics, manufacturers use gage blocks to verify the dimensions of critical components. Getting the tolerances right is everything. Tool & Die Making: Tool and die makers use gage blocks to ensure the accuracy of their molds and dies. This is essential for producing high-quality parts. Quality Control: Quality control inspectors use gage blocks to verify the dimensions of incoming materials and finished products. They’re a vital part of any quality assurance program. Calibration Laboratories: Calibration labs use gage blocks as reference standards to calibrate other measuring instruments. Accuracy is paramount. Aerospace: Aerospace components demand exceptional precision, and gage blocks play a crucial role in ensuring structural integrity. Automotive: From engine parts to body panels, accurate measurements are vital for automotive manufacturing. Metrology: Anyone involved in the science of measurement will appreciate the precision of these blocks.
