NDT Applications: Eddy Current Testing Improves Thread Inspection with Automation
Inspection times have improved to better than two seconds per part and simultaneous inspection of multiple threaded holes at production line speeds has increased productivity, saving approximately $100,000 per year for each line.
Automation proved the key factor to improving the company's thread inspection. By using the Zetec MIZ-27CT ECT instrument from Uson L.P. (Houston, TX), it was easy to add the thread inspection inline with production.
