Notes:
Examines the development of a laser-based system for detectingthe presence or absence of threads on turned components used in theautomotive industry. Describes how a laser inspection station would be set upto take readings from the laser detector as the component cuts a "partpresent" photoswitch. Explains how all the systems' parameters areprogrammable by the user through a hand-held terminal and describestwo typical applications: one to detect the presence of an externalthread on an engine plug and the other to check an internal thread on analuminium insert for a fuel injection system. Outlines the properties oflaser light that makes it preferable for use over camera-basedinspection systems and lists some applications suitable for laser basedsystems such as checking for component features such as threads, holes,grooves and tabs.
