Screw & Precision tool Measurement

Screws & Tool-Grade Threads Measurement

TIMI telecentric imaging systems, combined with a rotary positioning platform and high-precision image algorithms, enable fast, automated thread inspection and concentricity analysis. Designed for high-grade screws and precision threaded components, TIMI significantly reduces quality risks caused by dimensional errors.

Common Challenges

• Traditional tools cannot accurately or efficiently measure C/D/E thread parameters
• Manual inspection is time-consuming and prone to operator bias
• Concentricity between thread and shaft requires rotary measurement, which contact gauges cannot reliably handle
• Lack of automatic recording and evaluation limits full inspection and traceability

Solution & Technical Advantages

• ✅ Automatic calculation of C (root width), D (thread angle), and E (effective pitch)
• ✅ Rotary platform enables concentricity and effective diameter analysis of threads and heads
• ✅ Integrated SPC reporting supports high-volume automated inspection

Key Benefits

• One-pass measurement reduces setup time and tool changes; 5–10× faster than traditional methods
• High-precision profile analysis ensures accurate C/D/E values for quality assurance
• Automated data logging with MES/ERP connectivity enables digital process control
• Supports inline automation, improving yield and reducing scrap and human error
