The document discusses SMAC Corporation, a leading provider of moving coil actuator technology. SMAC actuators can control position, velocity, acceleration, and force, and are being used in automotive applications like screw thread checking, seat belt testing, and switch testing. The document specifically focuses on SMAC's 100% automated screw thread checking solution, which can measure parameters like oversized/undersized threads, number of threads, cross threading, thread depth, and pitch. The SMAC system offers advantages like programmable force, torque, position and velocity controls to prevent component damage, on-the-fly part recognition, and data collection of measurements.

The unique low cost standarized screw thread checking
solution from SMAC enables you to automatically check
the following screw thread parameters:
Oversize / undersize threads
Number of threads
Cross thread
Thread depth
No thread or
mis-located thread
Pitch measurement
Shallow hole
The SMAC Advantage:
♦ Programmable force / torque / position & velocity in
both the linear & rotary axis.
♦ Programmable “soft-land” function – This prevents
damage to the component & thread gauge.
♦ Part to part datum recognition “on the fly”.
♦ Data collection of all measurements.

The requirement for strict specifications and acceptance of
automotive parts has greatly increased over recent years.
Thread inspection is no exception. Up until recently, the
common practice has been the use of Eddy Current
Probes, lasers, proximity sensors or a vision system. These
systems have only been partly successful and today's
demanding customers need to know more than just the
presence of a thread.
Be it blind holes or thru
holes the SMAC actuators
provide a very cost
effective plug & play
solution.
Further to this the SMAC
actuators are unique in
enabling 100% detailed inspection & verification of
all parts. This enables SPC data acquisition for process con-
trol systems. Also, tool wear becomes apparent sooner,
increasing the quality of all your parts. All of this trans-
lates to higher quality & throughput, lower costs and in-
creased customer confidence.
