AMPERS LLC Launches Rugged, Reliable Depth Gage Sets for Professionals
Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – AMPERS LLC, a US-based manufacturer specializing in precision measurement tools, today announced the release of its new line of depth gage sets. Built for demanding environments and everyday use, these sets are aimed at professionals in machining, welding, automotive repair, and a variety of industrial applications. AMPERS LLC, located in Portland, Oregon (7639 SE 140TH DR, 97236-6644), has been quietly building a reputation for durable, high-quality tools. “We’re not about fancy marketing,” says a company representative. “We focus on building tools that work, day in and day out. We listen to professionals – what they need, not what we think they should have.” That’s the philosophy behind the new depth gage sets, and it's reflected in their design and construction. You can reach them at 714-457-2991. What Makes These Depth Gages Different? Let's face it – a lot of depth gages out there are flimsy. They bend, they get knocked out of calibration easily, and they just don't hold up to real-world use. AMPERS LLC set out to fix that. “We noticed guys were constantly replacing their depth gages, or spending a ton of time recalibrating them. That’s lost productivity, and frankly, it’s annoying,” explains the AMPERS design engineer. “So, we went back to basics and designed something that's built to last.” The key features of the AMPERS depth gage sets include: Solid Construction: These aren't made with cheap materials. AMPERS uses hardened stainless steel for all critical components – the main body, the base, and the measuring rods. This means they can take a beating and still hold their accuracy. Easy-to-Read Scale: Forget squinting to try and decipher tiny markings. The scales on these gages are large, clear, and etched directly onto the stainless steel. You'll get a precise reading every time, even in low-light conditions. Both inch and metric scales are available. Smooth & Precise Movement: The sliding mechanism is critical for accurate measurements. AMPERS gages feature a precision-ground sliding stem that moves smoothly and without play. No more jerky movements or inaccurate readings. Locking Mechanism: Once you’ve set your desired depth, the locking mechanism keeps the stem securely in place. This prevents accidental adjustments and ensures consistent readings. It’s a simple but effective feature that makes a big difference in efficiency. Variety of Ranges: AMPERS offers depth gage sets in a variety of ranges to suit different applications. From small, precise measurements to deeper, more substantial checks, you’ll find a set that meets your needs. Current options include ranges from 0-6" to 0-12". Durable Case Included: Each set comes with a rugged, protective case to keep the gages safe from damage during transport and storage. No more worrying about bent rods or scratched scales. Who Will Benefit From These Depth Gages? These depth gage sets aren’t designed for hobbyists. They’re built for professionals who rely on accurate measurements day in and day out. Here are just a few examples: Machinists: Checking the depth of holes, slots, and recesses is a critical part of any machining operation. These gages provide the accuracy and durability needed to ensure tight tolerances. Welders: Ensuring proper weld penetration is essential for structural integrity. These gages can be used to accurately measure the depth of welds and identify potential problems. Automotive Technicians: Measuring the depth of wear on brake rotors, clutch discs, and other components is a routine part of automotive repair. These gages provide the precision needed to diagnose problems accurately. Tool & Die Makers: Precise depth measurements are crucial in tool and die making, ensuring accurate and consistent production. Quality Control Inspectors: Performing accurate depth measurements is a key part of any quality control process. These gages provide the reliability and accuracy needed to meet stringent standards. Maintenance Technicians: Checking clearances and depths of components during maintenance and repair operations. More Than Just a Tool – It's an Investment “We know there are cheaper depth gages out there,” admits the AMPERS representative. “But those are often a false economy. They break easily, they lose accuracy, and ultimately, they cost you more in the long run.” AMPERS LLC believes that investing in quality tools is an investment in your business. These depth gage sets are built to last, providing years of reliable service and helping you to increase productivity and reduce downtime. Availability & Pricing The AMPERS depth gage sets are available now through the company's website (website address to be added when available) and select industrial supply distributors. Pricing starts at $79.99, depending on the range and configuration. About AMPERS LLC AMPERS LLC is a US-based manufacturer of precision measurement tools.
