Quality assurance of thread rolling dies
Quality control of thread rolling dies is critical to ensure accurate and durable threads. To maintain consistently high quality optical 3D metrology is used.
One of the biggest challenges in inspecting thread rolling dies is ensuring precise geometries while maintaining tool longevity. Wear, deviations in thread angles, and irregularities in the thread profile can lead to defects in rolled threads, affecting their functionality and reliability. Traditional measurement methods often struggle with complex geometries and tight tolerances, making high-precision, non-contact inspection essential.
Optical 3D metrology enables detailed and repeatable evaluation of all critical parameters:
- T – Depth of Thread Rolling Die
- P – Pitch of Thread
- Cl – Crest Length
- Rl – Root Length
- R1 – Radius inside of Thread Rolling Die
- R2 – Radius outside of Thread Rolling Die
- α – Thread Rolling Die Angle
- A – Rolling Area
