Abstract
A screw thread measurement system and methods may comprise a frame having a reference surface, a carrier coupled to the frame and configured to translate relative to the frame, a dimension measurement system coupled to the carrier and having a thread contact element configured to translate relative to the frame and orthogonally the translation axis of the carrier. The dimension measurement system configured to determine thread dimensions relative to the frame reference surface.
Claims20
A screw thread inspection system, comprising:
- a frame comprising a first portion configured as a datum reference surface defining a plane and a second portion;
- a dimension measurement system coupled to the second frame portion and configured to determine distance from the datum reference surface along a first axis perpendicular to the reference surface plane,
- the dimension measurement system also configured to translate along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
- and
- a data processing system configured to receive and manipulate distance data received by the dimension measurement system.
