 A
BREAKTHROUGH IN THREAD DEPTH CONTROL
STOP counting turns
STOP buying expensive thread plugs with depth stops
These methods cannot compare with the accuracy and speed of the
Leitech COMBI gage
Leitech
COMBI gages consist of an anodized aluminum housing containing
a telescoping measuring sleeve graduated in increments of either
;
INCH - .025" (standard), or .005" (HI-RESOLUTION)
METRIC - 1.0mm (standard), or 0.5mm (HI-RESOLUTION) |
Qualify your functional "GO"
size and check depth - all with one simple, quick, and truly
cost effective gage. By using the Leitech COMBI thread depth
gage, you eliminate the errors from depth steps and counting
turns.
Only the Leitech COMBI
thread depth gage can provide you with variable data on the depth
of your tapped holes. SUBSTANTIAL savings in machine time can
be realized by maintaining functional depth requirements this
closely.
Companies who drill and tap
large quantities of threaded holes daily which are 15% to 40%
deeper than necessary to meet depth requirements are creating
additional expense! Tool wear and breakage plus machine time
increase dramatically.
When setting up a machine to
cut threads, it is common practice to provide additional turns
to allow for the drill point and the top crest, and to meet minimum
thread length specifications. This is often checked by counting
turns on a thread plus gage, or by using a bolt with a filed
notch to act as a thread length guide.
This practice is costly and
unnecessary, since a machining center is highly repeatitive -
even to the point of drilling and tapping the extra thread length.
This can be eliminated, or at least greatly reduced, with the
right tools.
If your company produces 1000
tapped holes per day with a .070" depth allowance over minimum
specifications - you can generate in one (1) year over 1400 feet
of unnecessary and costly threads.
 How many threads do you cut in
a year?
By using the Leitech Combi
Gage, companies reduce or eliminate this problem. The Leitech
Combi Gage allows your machinist to adjust drilling and tapping
depths precisely at set-up time. In addition, this depth can
be monitored by the operator as the parts are produced. The Leitech
Gage provides variable data. This reduces costs and allows you
to be more competitive.
Cut your Inspection
Time by One Half!
The Leitech Combi Gage allows
you to qualify your minimum GO thread size and check length -
all in one operation! Fast, and very cost effective. The measuring
sleeve is graduated in .025 ins or 0.5 mm increments, and allows
the direct reading of the length. It has been common practice
to check thread hole depth by: 1) Counting turns, 2) using thread
gages with depth steps or notches, and/or 3) using a bolt with
a nut as a minimum depth check or a filed notch. None of these
methods can compare with the accuracy and speed provided by the
Leitech Combi Gage.
Leitech saves time. One of Europe's leading car manufacturers
is checking a total of 99 blind threaded holes of 4 different
thread sizes for depth and size. Using conventional thread gages,
the inspection required 71 minutes. Leitech was able to reduce
the time to 39 minutes, and also eliminated unnecessary gages.
One COMBI gage replaces
33 Gages with Depth Steps
Using conventional gages for
blind holes, you need individual gages for each thread hole depth.
This means a large inventory of different gages.The Leitech System
provides the user with reduced inventory which saves time and
money. Errors are reduced or eliminated. Often, a single Leitech
Combi Gage can replace several different conventional gages with
filed notches indicating minimum thread length .The result is
less money tied up in gages and fewer errors.
Product Reliability
cannot be compromised
In the automotive, aerospace
and medical industries, the structural integrity of thread form
and length of engagement are of paramount importance. Only Leitech
with the direct reading length scale can provide the level of
confidence necessary to satisfy the demanding requirements of
these industries. Major aircraft and automotive companies ithroughout
the globe use Leitech to insure the quality of their products.
Stocked in common inch and
metric sizes. Capable of measuring depths at least 3 times the
major diameter of the thread . Leitech Gages are manufactured
to the high side of the tolerance to provide maximum wear. Replaceable
gaging members made from the highest quality tool steel, hardened
and stabilized to RC 60-62. Gaging members are manufactured on
the latest Reishauer thread grinders, and calibrated on Zeiss
optical and mechanical comparators. Certification of calibration
is available at extra cost. Special sizes and pitch diameters
can be manufactured to your specifications. Chrome and TiN coated
members are available. The crest of the first full thread is
held 1/2 pitch from the front face of the GO members (per H28
part 6). All gage handles are black anodized aluminum. Stainless
steel bushing on the front of the measuring sleeve for longer
wear. |
