The requirement
for strict specification and acceptance of all automotive parts
& components has greatly increased in recent years. Screw thread
inspection is no exception. The common practice of Eddy current
probes, lasers, proximity sensors or vision systems are only partly
successful as they only inform you of the presence of a thread.
Not if it is correct or within tolerance.
The unique low cost SMAC solution enables you to automatically
check the following screw thread parameters:
Oversize / undersized threads, cross threads, thread
depth, no thread or mis-located thread, thread pitch & shallow
or blocked hole and enables a 100% detailed inspection
& verification of all parts. It also identifies tool wear
sooner and allows SPC data acquisition for process control &
quality systems. All of this translates to higher quality &
throughput, lower costs and increased customer confidence.
