Automatic screw inspection system

An automatic screw inspection system that inspects a female screw hole formed in an inspection target automatically, comprising:

• a robot to which a screw inspection device is attached, the screw inspection device including a holder unit attached in a removable manner and holding an inspection gauge used for inspection of the female screw hole in the inspection target;
• a gauge storage storing a plurality of the holder units for inspection of the female screw hole conforming to a plurality of standards;
• a table on which the inspection target is to be placed;
• and
• a controller that controls the drive of the robot, wherein
• the controller comprises:
• a holder unit attachment/storage control unit that controls the drive of the robot and the screw inspection device so as to select the holder unit conforming to a standard for the female screw hole formed in the inspection target and to be subjected to inspection from the gauge storage and attach the selected holder unit automatically to the screw inspection device and/or to store the holder unit attached to the screw inspection device in a predetermined position in the gauge storage;
• and
• an inspection implementation control unit that controls the drive of the robot and the screw inspection device so as to make the screw inspection device inspect the female screw hole in the inspection target on the table or in the inspection target retrieved from the table and held by the robot;
• wherein, if a plurality of the female screw holes are formed using the same tool, the inspection implementation control unit exerts control so as to inspect only the female screw hole finally formed among the female screw holes formed using the same tool.
