pinned and gauged
...is what is means literally (and in normal usage). Unless this is a mistranslation, I can only assume the terms are being used figuratively, in which case it probably means something like 'calibrated against reference standards'. However, that's only an educated guess from the context, and as this appears to be unconventional usage, I'd suggest flagging it to the client unless you get better advice from another Prozian.

I could imagine 'pegged and gauged' being used in English, but that's rather informal language for this sort of context.

Comment: "Thank you Kenneth and Rolf! Through dowel-pinned (also correct) I found "doweled" in this context. And "ausgemessen" will probably mean "calibrated" - as you assume, Kenneth."
