Efficiently and easily inspect parts and automate production processes with the ‘Thread inspection’ software command
Applications:
In industries like automotive, electronics, and aerospace, thread quality is critical. Fasteners, bolts, and threaded parts must fit precisely, with no margin for error. Even minor thread quality issues such as irregular pitch, inconsistent diameter, or contamination can cause assembly problems and compromise structural integrity.
Functions:
- Checking the thread pitch and diameter (inside & outside)
- Checking the completeness & dimensional accuracy
- Checking the thread run
- Detection of defects & contamination
This EyeVision software command performs analyses on external and internal threads. It segments each thread into several subsections and then checks the major, minor and pitch diameters for defects.
In addition, the information about the highest apex and lowest root point can be used for further inspections.
Advantages of the EyeVision thread inspection software:
With EyeVision, thread inspection can be performed via a single command. The drag-and-drop function further simplifies handling, so that an inspection program for thread inspection can be created even without programming knowledge.
Thread inspection with EyeVision also offers
- High measurement and inspection accuracy
- Non-contact measurement (prevents damage to the workpiece)
- 100 % inspection quality
- High flexibility when adapting to new production conditions
- Very fast measurement (a few milliseconds)
EVT Ready-to-Use System Thread Inspector
The Thread Inspector combines the functions and advantages of the EyeVision software with the emSys hardware.
With the Ready-Use Thread Inspector, internal and external thread inspection can be integrated into any inspection system or robot. In addition, existing inspection systems can be easily expanded to include screw inspection.
Further advantages of the Thread Inspector:
- Interfaces for integration into Profinet or Modbus
- Integration into a SCADA system via OPC UA, for example
- Interfaces for controlling the camera and LED lighting
- Simple configuration for the various thread types
