ThreadChecker™
Non-contact eddy current system for thread presence verification
- Non-contact application-specific sensors that verify thread presence or absence
- Universal electronics compatible with any probe/material combination
- Four internal probes (4 mm to 10 mm) and two external probes (6 mm and 8 mm)
- Teachable — also detects material sorting, plating presence, and absence of heat treatment
- Checks threads regardless of part cleanliness
- Designed for in-die use
- DIN rail mounting option
- CE-compliant with IP-67 rated probes and electronics
- Switched and analog outputs for direct PLC integration

Frequently Asked Questions
What can the ThreadChecker detect besides threads?
As a teachable eddy current tool it also handles material sorting, plating presence, and absence of heat treatment — any physical property difference tied to material conductivity.
Does part cleanliness affect the ThreadChecker?
No. It checks threads regardless of part cleanliness, which reduces the cost of implementation in production environments.
How does it integrate with a control system?
Use the switched output wired to a PLC to alarm when no thread is detected, or monitor the analog voltage and program your controller with application-specific limits. Switching speed is up to 3 kHz.
