Unlike micrometers or optical comparators, the Thread-View System® is capable of measuring and recording a diverse range of thread characteristics for both thread gages and threaded products. In one two-minute cycle, this revolutionary system will automatically measure and record the full set of geometries required for compliance standard measurements.
Measured geometries
- Major diameter (full form and truncated)
- Leading and trailing angles
- Included angle
- Minor diameter
- Lead
- Lead over several threads
- Pitch diameter
- Root radius ("J" series threads)
Users Major Features and Benefits
- Easy-To-Use, PC-Based User Interface
- Significant Cost Savings
- Increased Productivity
- Increased Accuracy
- Assured Compliance
Easy-To-Use, PC-Based User Interface
Whether measuring a thread gage or threaded product, the operator simply answers a few questions so the system knows what min and max tolerance limits to compare against the actual measured values.

Significant Cost Savings
| · | 10 times faster than conventional thread gage calibration methods |
| · | More economical alternative to calibration outsourcers |
| · | Self-contained inspection system eliminating the need for thread measuring wires, gage blocks and optical comparator charts |
| · | Delivers a return on initial investment in less than one year |
| · | Lease to own programs available (3 and 5 year) - this offers significant cost savings |
Increased Productivity
| · | Fastest calibration and inspection methods of thread gages or threaded products |
| · | Frees up highly trained calibration personnel for other more value added tasks or responsibilities |
| · | Complete measurement and reporting cycles of up to 12 thread characteristics accomplished in less than two minutes per gage or product |
| · | Operator remains available for other tasks as system is performing measurements |
| · | Gage inventory always on-site, no waiting for outside calibrations |
Increased Accuracy
| · | Elimination of the human element in the calibration and inspection process |
| · | Repeatability of ±20 micro inches (2 Sigma 99%) |
| · | Recall feature from on-line database of calibration and thread standards and specifications assures utilization of correct inspection standard |
| · | Eliminates operator bias or equipment variation in the measurement process |
| · | Computer generated calibration and inspection reports to eliminate the possibility of transposition and report generation errors |
Assured Compliance
| · | NIST traceable certifications generated at end of measurement cycle |
| · | Immediate feedback on thread size and thread form facilitates analysis for improvement of overall product quality and process control capability |
| · | System measurement resolution and capabilities far exceed industry standards |
| · | Meets or exceeds the Inspection or Calibration requirements of FED-STD H-28 Section 20, ASME B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, inch standards, metric standards, SAE AS8879C (Category 1 and 2), United States Military and Government Standards, FAA and ISO specifications |
