then operators would use the E70T to quickly determine if a suspect lot had any other issues. “What we’re seeing more with customers now is automating that process using the probe on a slide that is advanced into a hole to check the presence of the thread,” said Zeoli. “That is becoming important where sup- pliers have to show all holes have been 100% inspected.” While developed for automotive, he notes there is no reason the device could not be adapted to other industries, such as oil & gas.


want to know who was at fault anywhere in the process,” he said. That means keeping track of the entire value chain, ensuring high-quality processes in every element of the manufacturing chain, including the threading inserts.


Zoller’s “genius” inspection machine is applied to thread mills and taps as well as general-purpose cutting tools.


Thread quality can also be examined using the company’s E59N material integrity probe by rotating the probe 360 degrees to capture a complete scan of the surface for surface porosity or inclusions. This is typically done by rotating the part.


Starting at the Cutting Tool Seco Tools (Troy, MI) is a company


that provides tooling inserts for cutting precision threads. “Quality threads for both aerospace and oil and gas are particularly critical,” explained Don Halas of Seco Tools. Drill pipe and cas- ings must perform two to three miles underground, or under the seabed, in extremely high temperatures and pres- sures. He agrees that the Gulf Oil Spill of 2010 has caused increased scrutiny and concern over liability issues. “If a pipe breaks, the major oil companies
