Thread inspection is no exception. Up until recently, the common practice has been the use of Eddy Current Probes, lasers, proximity sensors or a vision system. These systems have only been partly successful and today's demanding customers need to know more than just the presence of a thread. Be it blind holes or thru holes the SMAC actuators provide a very cost effective plug & play solution. Further to this the SMAC actuators are unique in enabling 100% detailed inspection & verification of all parts. This enables SPC data acquisition for process con- trol systems. Also, tool wear becomes apparent sooner, increasing the quality of all your parts. All of this trans- lates to higher quality & throughput, lower costs and in- creased customer confidence.
