Amatrol’s Optional 99-PG2 Snap Gauge
World-Class Technical Learning Wherever You Are

Amatrol’s Portable Precision Gauging Learning System (990-PG1) covers the fundamentals of basic measurement, precision measurement, direct gauging, indirect gauging, and dimensional measurements using both the U.S. customary system and the SI metric system all within a mobile, highly durable product. Measurement is a cornerstone of all technical career paths and a major part of quality assurance, which helps to keep product quality high and costs low.

This portable training system features calipers, micrometers, and a variety of gauges within a flexible, convenient product for situations where space is too limited for a full-size trainer or when a trainer is needed in multiple environments. These measuring devices, along with a set of precisely-machined components, are used to complete skills, such as measuring length, taking an accurate measurement of inside and outside dimensions, and collecting process data. Customers can additionally purchase the 99-PG2, which features a snap gauge.

World-Class Technical Learning Wherever You Are

The 990-PG1 offers the opportunity to practice vital measurement skills to anyone with a computer and desk space for the Portable Precision Gauging Learning System. Accurate measurement lies at the heart of product quality in areas like design, manufacturing, or repair and can be used in careers such as quality control inspector, machinist, manufacturing engineer, operations manager, and production technician. The 990-PG1 allows learners to use real-world components to practice hands-on skills such as using a plug gauge to measure the smooth bores in parts and gauging machined lips containing various defects.

The system also includes precision-machined test parts with slight variations in their dimensions, simulating a production run that challenges learners to practice measurement while also testing their newly-obtained knowledge of tolerances to determine whether parts are within or exceed required specifications.

Engaging, Highly-Interactive Multimedia

Amatrol’s curriculum features a highly-interactive, multimedia format that includes stunning 3D graphics and videos, voiceovers of all text, and interactive quizzes and exercises designed to appeal to learners with different learning styles. The 990-PG1’s curriculum teaches learners how to choose the appropriate measuring device to use in a particular situation, how to read different types of gauges, and how to obtain accurate readings. For example, learners will study digital calipers, their components, and their advantages over dial calipers. They will then use a digital caliper to measure the inside and outside dimensions of a part. The combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills solidifies understanding and creates a strong basis for pursuing more advanced skills.

High Quality Trainer for On-the-Go Learning

The 990-PG1 is a highly efficient learning system that offers customers complete mobility. Made from durable ABS plastic, the 990-PG1 includes wheels and a handle for easy transportation, a lock for safety, and a pouch in the front cover for loose components, including test shafts. The entire system fits on a tabletop for ease of use.

Student Reference Guide

A sample copy of the Precision Gauging Student Reference Guide is also included with the system for your evaluation. Sourced from the system’s curriculum, the Student Reference Guide takes the entire series’ technical content contained in the learning objectives and combines them into one perfectly-bound book. Student Reference Guides supplement this course by providing a condensed, inexpensive reference tool that learners will find invaluable once they finish their training, making it the perfect course takeaway.

Optional Add-On: The 99-PG2

The Snap Gauge (99-PG2), adds a snap gauge to the 990-PG1. It includes an additional interactive multimedia module to teach the application, calibration, and operation of this highly precise gauging device. The snap gauge fits securely into the 990-PG1′s portable case.
