ABSTRACT:
A thread gage for use with a threading machine for automatically and quickly gaging a thread after it is formed. A stylus support is mounted on the machine turret for placement of the stylus in position for movement axially of the thread to follow the thread contour. The stylus is connected to a transducer. The machine computer control may be programmed to receive signals from the transducer indicative of radial position of the stylus tip and signals relative to axial position of the turret indicative of axial position of the stylus tip to form a digital model of the thread which may then be compared to a standard thread and/or used to make adaptive threading machine offsets.
