As a premier thread rolling shop, Rolled Threads Unlimited proudly makes several commitments to our customers, ensuring they consistently receive products that meet their needs and specifications. One such commitment is an initiative to continually update all our equipment—thread rollers and beyond.
Another promise we uphold for our customers is dedication to defect-free parts of superior quality. As part of our efforts to honor this pledge, Rolled Threads places a value on the quality of our inspection equipment that is equal to how we value the quality of our thread rolling machines.
With these responsibilities in mind, we are pleased to announce our recent acquisition of a Dorsey Metrology 16H Optical Comparator. Optical comparators are measurement instruments that focus on visually measuring two-dimensional parts along the X, Y, and Z axes using magnification.
This particular optical comparator offers a variety of readout options to make it one of the most accurate and versatile horizontal benchtop comparators. The machine boasts internal edge detection capability, which enhances repeatability: the machine, rather than the operator, automatically locates and measures the edges of the part being inspected.
The Dorsey Metrology 16H Optical Comparator also features:
- 16” vertical screen for optimum viewing
- Quick-change single lens mount
- Coated telecentric parfocal optics
- Fiber optic surface illumination
- 150 lbs. capacity
A special connection between Rolled Threads Unlimited and our new machine is that we manufactured an M12 x 1.25 LH lead screw used in the machine itself. The lead screw enables precise linear movement of the machine stage along its length.
Purchasing the 16H Optical Comparator from Dorsey Metrology further reinforces our commitments to continuous equipment upgrades and consistent quality components. We’d love to share more about the machine with you—let’s talk today.
