Thread Measurement Inspection System
The OASIS high-speed, non-contact thread inspection tool measures key components of thread geometry with the same speed as all other dimensions in the OASIS – everything on the screen is done in less than a second.
Measurements include major, minor, and pitch diameters. In addition, pitch distance and crest & root truncation are also included. The OASIS thread tool works on 60° V form, with straight threads and tolerances being individually set for each characteristic measured.

In operation, all an operator needs to do is set the threaded part into the Oasis field of view. The inspected parameters immediately display on the Oasis system monitor, which graphically shows the status of every component in simple traffic light colors: green is good, yellow is a warning that it is getting close to the limits, and red is out of tolerance.
