Inspecting inner and outer threads with EyeVision: accurate and efficient for industry needs

Thread inspection with image processing software from EyeVision

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. EyeVision software provides an efficient solution for inspecting both internal and external threads with high accuracy.

EyeVision’s thread inspection tool inspects threads for completeness and defects using a non-contact, precise measurement approach. This setup not only avoids physical damage to the part but also provides 100% inspection quality at high speed. The thread inspection tool inspects each thread by segmenting it into sections to capture key details. External thread inspection measurements include pitch distance, thread angle, major and minor diameters, providing users with accurate data to ensure quality standards are met. Internal inspections analyse the consistency and number of threads.

The tool includes options for fine-tuning accuracy when needed. For example, setting the “maximum error per segment” lets users control how closely the tool’s line approximation matches the actual thread. A non-contact approach prevents any damage to parts, while EyeVision’s drag-and-drop interface makes setup easy—no programming required.

Integration into existing systems is easy, as EyeVision supports interfaces such as Profinet, Modbus, and OPC UA and many more, enabling smooth integration into SCADA and other control systems.

EyeVision also offers a Ready-to-Use Thread Inspector for fast integration. By pairing EyeVision software with emSys hardware, this system brings fast, reliable thread inspection to production lines in a single package.

Whether integrated within existing systems or as a standalone tool, EyeVision delivers an adaptable, high-precision thread inspection solution fit for today’s manufacturing needs
