VisionLab-150 3D Fastener Gauging System Enhances Precision in Dimensional and Defect Inspection!

The VisionLab-150 3D Fastener Gauging System by General Inspection LLC. introduces a cutting-edge solution for fast, precise, and comprehensive part dimensional inspections. Leveraging patented 3D gaging technology, this system offers complete part inspection in less than 5 seconds, making it an ideal choice for industries where time-sensitive and high-quality inspection is essential.

The VisionLab-150 is designed to perform 360-degree dimensional inspections, delivering detailed data reporting. This feature ensures that every aspect of a fastener or part is accurately measured and checked for defects, significantly improving quality control processes. With optional enhancements, the system also provides visual defect detection, end-view inspections, and the capability to measure recess depth and concentricity, all critical for maintaining high manufacturing standards.

One of the standout features of the VisionLab-150 is its advanced thread measurement capability. Using a high/low thread measuring algorithm, the system can perform detailed thread analysis, including the evaluation of pitch diameter, functional diameter, and lobular shaped threads. The system complies with system-22 requirements, ensuring that every thread is thoroughly inspected, meeting industry standards for quality and performance. This makes it a valuable tool for fastener manufacturers who need precise and reliable measurements.

In addition to thread measurements, the VisionLab-150 excels in measuring straightness and other Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) characteristics. The system’s optional End-View feature allows for inspection and detection of defects on both ends of parts, including features like recesses, inner and outer diameters, through holes, and counterbores. This capability ensures that no aspect of the part goes unchecked, enhancing the system’s versatility in quality control.

For surface inspection, the VisionLab-150 offers optional surface control features that can detect visual defects such as poor plating, thread patch presence and quality, as well as measuring knurl width, gap, and height. These additional features make the system suitable for more complex part inspections, ensuring that even the smallest imperfections are identified before products reach customers.

The VisionLab-150 also includes slewing optics, which automatically tilt to provide a clearer view of the threads, enabling accurate root radius measurements. This ensures that fasteners with complex thread patterns can be measured with the same precision as simpler designs.

With the addition of optional upper tooling and bit kits, the VisionLab-150 can accommodate parts with a recess drive, broadening its application across various industries that require high-precision fastener and part inspections.

Overall, the VisionLab-150 3D Fastener Gauging System offers manufacturers a comprehensive, efficient, and highly accurate solution for ensuring the dimensional integrity and visual quality of their products, significantly improving the reliability of their production processes.
