Thread Tester

CUSTOMER:

Major Automotive Filter Manufacturer.

PROBLEM:

To create an operator free testing system that would allow for checking the absence or presence of threads in the tap plate of finished filters entering our equipment from a seaming station.

SOLUTION:

Design and fabricate a continuous motion testing turret system which will automatically accept finished filters straight from a seaming station, positively control, transfer, and insert them into our checker which inserts probes into a hole, injects air, and based upon the pressure generated, determine whether the part is threaded or not.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

	Provide a system capable of accepting filters for inspection.
	Accept the filters automatically without the need for an operator/attendant.
	Reject to an isolated area any filters without threads.
	Accomplish the testing without damaging any of the surfaces of the filter and without affecting functionality, in any way.

EQUIPMENT FURNISHED:

	A six (6) station continuous motion rotary turret.
	An infeed starwheel.
	An outfeed starwheel.
	A compressed air injection system.
	A pressure differential measuring system.
	PLC control.
	Quick changepart fixtures.
