Products

Penico Gauges Ltd specialises in the design and manufacture of mould gauge equipment. Our instruments are used by mouldmakers throughout the UK for the inspection of I.S. Mould Equipment during mould manufacture and in the demanding mould repair process. 

 

Gauges and reamers supplied by Penico help to ensure a correct interlocking fit so that mould interchangeability is guaranteed – an important requirement for improving the efficiency of I.S. machines and for prolonging mould life. 

 

The team at Penico Gauges has been involved in the glass container industry for more than 30 years. In that time we have had the privilege of working with many talented people in mould repair and mould manufacturing workshops, and have thus developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by mouldmakers and mould repairers. 

 

This knowledge and experience has enabled Penico to develop a range of solutions to cover virtually all your gauging needs – it also enables us to design and manufacture bespoke gauging solutions that address individual requirements. 

 

Penico gauges are now exported to over 40 countries worldwide – a sure sign of their universal quality. Quality is of course something we take very seriously here at Penico. All gauges are calibrated to ISO9001:2000 standards to maintain the highest standards of gauging accuracy. 

 

Some of our gauges and reamers are detailed in the sections below. If you would like to see what else we have to offer, please head over to the Penico Gauges website. To find out more about our special gauge manufacturing service, simply give us a call on 01274 511 044.  

 

Series III Rotary Table

Our Series III Rotary Table is suitable for speedy angle settings in the range of 0˚ to 45˚.  This inclinable sine table combines several elements making it a cut above similar products.  First of all, the motor and electric controller are waterproof, meeting IP54 standards.   Strong and durable construction makes it ideal for both tool room and production work, where a surface flatness of 0,005mm is achieved.  The Series III has a slim profile enabling easy access into standard and CNC surface grinders.  Flexibility is a key factor: with a variable speed control of 0 to 150 RPM the unit is fitted with standard 200mm diameter magnetic chuck and is also available with optional workholding, such as circular tables and self-centring chucks.  Additionally, it is easily moved so can be put to use in a wide variety of applications.  You can be sure of efficient performance, durability and low maintenance costs.  There is more information on the Series III Rotary Table available on our website.

Blank Reamer

A blankmould reamer is an essential tool for the mould repair process. It changes an expensive and difficult machining operation (often requiring vastly skilled and experienced staff) into a simple and cost-effective bench fitting operation. We have a range of reamers available, including blank reamers for neckring fitting tasks. They are available in two materials: High Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbide Tipped (TC). The former are made for cast iron moulds only whilst the latter can be used for both cast iron and bronze moulds. Blank reamers can be manufactured in special sizes for clients requiring bespoke solutions. Find out more about this service by visiting Penico Gauges online.

Plug Gauges

Penico plug gauges are used to inspect the pinch diameter of the dovetail profile in the blank and blowmould. All models are supplied with Go and No Go ends. The pinch diameter is correct when only the Go end enters the mould. Larger sized plug gauges can be supplied single-ended to save weight. Standard sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For custom sizes, please contact us on 01274 511 044.

Bottom Plate Dovetail

Bottomplate dovetail profile gauges are used to inspect the dovetail profile of the neckring. Like plug gauges they feature Go and No Go profiles. The dovetail is correct when only the Go side passes over the dovetail profile. Bottomplate profile gauges are available with carbide faces for a prolonged service life. Standard gauge sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For non-standard sizes, please get in touch on 01274 511 044.

Neck Ring Dovetail

Neckring dovetail profile gauges are used to inspect the dovetail profile of the neckring. These also feature a Go and No Go profile - the dovetail is correct when only the Go side passes over the dovetail profile. Neckring profile gauges can also be provided with carbide faces for an extended operational life. Standard gauge sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For non-standard sizes, please get in touch on 01274 511 044.

Pinch Diameter Gauge

Our neckring and bottomplate pinch diameter gauges are used for inspecting the pinch diameter of the dovetail profile on the neckring and bottomplate. These gauges have a Go and No Go step. The pinch diameter is correct when only the Go end passes over the diameter. Standard gauge sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For non-standard sizes, please get in touch on 01274 511 044.

 

Remember, all of our gauges are calibrated to ISO 9001:2000 standards to ensure optimum gauging accuracy. 

 

Blowmould Dovetail Flush Pin Profile Gauge

This type of gauge is used to inspect the dovetail profile only. It consists of a fixed and movable anvil which is held in the dovetail by spring tension. The end of the gauge has two steps; when the moving anvil end falls between these two steps the dovetail is within the tolerance of the dovetail profile. These gauges can be provided with carbide tips for an extended calibration period. They are also available with a digital indicator to improve still further the measurement of the dovetail profile. Standard gauge sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For non-standard sizes, please get in touch on 01274 511 044.

Fitter Gauges

Our fitter gauges are used for inspecting the blankmould dovetail profile cut-out. It is provided as either a Go or No Go gauge (please specify which you require when ordering). Fitter gauges are able to inspect the full dovetail profile of a blankmould cut-out. They will detect any out of roundness that other gauges are unable to inspect. Standard gauge sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For non-standard sizes, please get in touch on 01274 511 044.

Mould Reamer for Bottom Plate Fitting

Penico mould reamers are essential tools for mould repair operations. They change an expensive and difficult machining operation (which often requires vastly skilled and experienced staff) into a simple and cost-effective bench fitting operation. We have a full range of reamers for you to choose from, including models for bottom plate fitting. These are supplied in two materials: High Speed Steel (HSS) and Carbide Tipped (CT). HSS models are suitable for cast iron moulds only while TC reamers can be used for both cast iron and bronze moulds. Standard gauge sizes are listed on the Penico Gauges website. For non-standard sizes, please get in touch on 01274 511 044.

Blank Mould Dovetail Flush Pin Profile Gauge

This type of gauge is used to inspect the dovetail profile only. It is made with a fixed and movable anvil and is held in the dovetail by means of spring tension. The gauge end has two steps: the dovetail is within tolerance of the dovetail profile when the moving anvil end falls between them. Blankmould dovetail flush pin profile gauges can be provided with carbide tips to give extended calibration periods. They are also available with digital indicators to improve still further the measurement of the dovetail profile.

Digital Flushpin Gauge

Our digital flush pin gauges are also used to inspect the dovetail profile. Like our standard models they consist of a fixed and movable anvil and are held in the dovetail by spring tension. However, the digital gauge differs from standard models in that it actually gives a measurement of the dovetail width (rather than just giving an indication of whether it is correct or not). Having this facility helps the machine operator set his machine much faster and more accurately. It also allows them to take dimensions for inspection reports. Find out more about our digital gauges by visiting Penico Gauges online.

Bespoke Gauge Manufacturing

Over the years we’ve had the privilege of working alongside many talented mouldmakers and repairers and have therefore developed a good understanding of what the industry requires in terms of gauging equipment. This knowledge and experience, together with our flexible manufacturing techniques, allows us to produce bespoke gauges designed for very specific applications. So if you require a special gauge for your mould manufacturing or repairing operations, make sure you speak to Penico! Our project managers can be reached on 01274 511 044.
