SMAC Thread Inspection

Product catalog summary
Introduction
SMAC offers a unique measurement solution for inspecting critical tapped holes using Linear Rotary Actuators. This solution is field-proven with over 1000 successful applications worldwide.
Product Features
  • Automates inspection procedures where conventional solutions fail.
  • Includes a 12-month product warranty.
  • Automatically checks for various thread issues such as oversized/undersized threads, number of threads, cross threads, shallow/damaged threads, thread depth, and more.
  • Provides real-time data capture and feedback.
  • Includes an easy-to-use GUI for simple setup.
Comparison with Conventional Solutions
  • Camera: Prone to optical distortions, requires consistent lighting, and is affected by vibrations and dirty environments.
  • Laser: Faces reflective inaccuracies and issues with textured or colored surfaces, and only checks for thread presence on internal threads.
  • Eddy Current: Requires accessible material surfaces, can be affected by material finish, and has limited penetration depth. It is also expensive and fragile.
Advantages of SMAC Solution
  • Combines linear and rotary functions in one device.
  • Offers real-time feedback and a graphical user interface for quick setup.
Additional Information
SMAC provides a free proof of concept at their in-house lab, allowing potential customers to send in parts for testing.

Why Use SMAC Thread Inspection? Comparison with conventional solutions X Camera • Optical distortions • Requires consistent lighting = No shadows • Vibrations = Blur the images • Dirty environment (oil/coolant mist) = Poor image quality • Space constraint = Unable to inspect internal threads X Laser • Reflective inaccuracies • Problems with textured and or certain colored surfaces • Only checks for thread presence on internal threads X Eddy Current • Surface of the material must be accessible • The finish of the material may cause bad readings • Based on its level of conductivity • The depth...
