Thread Detection
Thread Detection
(OP)
Hi,
Does anyone know of a sensor or system that can verify if a hole is threaded? This is for poke-yoke purposes and the system or sensor needs to be adjustable or programmable for different parts/configuarations if possible.
Thanks

RE: Thread Detection
please be more specific, what size threads are you trying to detect.
what is the specific end product

RE: Thread Detection
The parts are almost exclusively carbon steel and are typically less than 20mm thick. The holes to be tapped are typically less than 10 mm in diameter and are thru-holes (Internal machine threads). The part if for a large engine and lays flat on conveyors through grinding/deburr, wash/corrosion inhibit etc.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

I believe that there are a few companies offering Eddy current inspection equipment in all different states of assembly from component to turn-key solutions. We have been dealing with SE Systems in Califonia.

I believe they have a website as well.

RE: Thread Detection
We currently have a Vision System running in a couple plants that detect threads very well. We are using a Cognex InSight 1000, with LED Lighting. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

RE: Thread Detection
In the past I have used Pico Dot lasers from Banner for this. In the last 3 projects Ive done for thread detection I have used the new Keyence LV-H32 series laser with great results. At a 30 degree angle to the threaded hole Im able to adjust the spot beam to cover 6 to 8 threads and have a lot of ajustability in the amplifier.

RE: Thread Detection
Are you running the same part all the time or different parts. I have had some issues with "teachability" factor and operators. This would not be an issue if you are running the same parts all the time.

RE: Thread Detection
I am curious to see how you rate the Banner pico dot,
from a reliability and accuracy stand point. I am getting ready to replace an outdated unit and the pico dot has been
given some consideration for this application.
Thank you,

RE: Thread Detection
I just like the adjustability control I have with the new Keyence amplifiers.
