New Vista’s Robotic Thread-Gaging System

The RTU Robotic Gaging Unit is an automated system which replaces the traditionally manual “GO” and “NO GO” thread gaging process. Mounted on a robot arm, the RTU will check a wide range of thread sizes at any angle in seconds, reduce inspection time by up to 75% and ensure every thread is inspected.

The RTU easily integrates with robots of any make or model. The thread plug and ring gages employed for each application can be changed automatically, employing New Vista’s Tool Docking System. Torque and depth settings are changed automatically during operation to accommodate any thread size or length. New Vista’s Compliant Toolholders (supplied with every System) will accommodate both X-Y and angular misalignments, and a breakaway feature ensures that tooling and parts are not damaged in the event of an accidental crash.

The New Vista RTU Thread Gaging System is available as an integration package for your own robot or as a turnkey System with the robot and part fixturing provided by New Vista. Designed for use in automotive, aerospace, defense and a wide range of other applications, the RTU offers speed and flexibility in an affordable package.
