ROUTE TO FASTENER INNOVATION First article inspection - fast Hall: 4 Stand: B60


In fastener manufacturing, first article inspection controls the manufacturing process flow, affects quality and is employee intensive.


M Hall: 4 Stand: F50


ectron has developed a first article inspection system that eliminates manual gauging and recording, which risk inaccuracies and gauging disputes with customers receiving the parts. The First Scan 150R is a non-contact fully automatic precision


measuring system designed for cylindrical components, which performs non- contact measurements with accuracy and speed. A telecentric backlight illuminator produces a high contrast silhouette of the


workpiece, increasing edge contrast and measurement accuracy. The images are received by a high resolution digital line scan camera, capable of taking measurement data from the part at over 14,000 updates per second and detecting


changes in light pattern at sub-micron resolution. Once the part image is scanned, an unlimited number of measurement zones can be pre-set along with corresponding dimensional specifications and control limits. Custom reporting provides a visual graph that indicates where the measurement falls within the pre-set tolerances and control limits. The First Scan 150R scans in two axes: linear for geometric tolerances of features like diameter, width, radii, angles, threads;


then radial to inspect for concentricity, flats, hex, perpendicularity and cylindricity. The First Scan 150R is also capable of inspecting parts up to 35mm in diameter and lengths up to 150mm and is easily networked to provide data to a variety of SPC formats.


Anti-Turn TUBTARA® D


No need to get into a spin


T offers very high torque-to-turn values and eliminates spin out problems. development, the Anti-Turn TUBTARA®


ejond’s cold forming division has launched a new blind rivet nut with a special anti-turn flange and round body, specifically designed to solve spin out problems in applications where hexagonal holes are not permissible or too difficult. This new , features one or more noses


under the head, locking the nut firmly into the pre-drilled hole in the workpiece. The innovative design prevents rotation of the installed blind rivet nut


in the metal sheet or profile, while offering at least twice as high torque- to-turn values, compared to the equivalent round blind rivet nut. Important advantages of the Anti-Turn TUBTARA®


include high


effectiveness on slippery surfaces or in very hard material and the use of standard round holes, eliminating the risk of cracks on the corners of hex holes. It is very easy to install with standard setting tools or set automatically. It can be manufactured in stainless steel 304 and 316, steel and aluminium, in different grips and open or closed end styles.


New high speed inspection system


Regg Inspection, based in Milan, Italy, has introduced the new High Speed 360 degree inspection system to detect damages on threads.


his patented system can run up to 300 pieces per minute and can detect damages on the crest of the thread over the entire surface of the screw. Regg Inspection says that it’s highly skilled technical staff are able to design and manufacture among the highest quality inspection systems in the


market, and its on-site technical service can assist customers in all main markets. The main applications for the High Speed 360 degree control are fasteners for the automotive, aerospace and screw machined product industries.
