Point-Spectrometry Measurement of Bottom Tapped Hole Depth

In the machining process, dimensions such as the depth of bottom tapped holes have a significant impact on the manufacturing and application of bottom screws. Therefore, processes including accurate measurement and control of these dimensions are particularly critical.

In this issue, Mr. Shen (Deep Sir) will share an application case of point-spectrometry measurement for bottom tapped hole depth. Let’s take a look.

I. Inspection Requirements

• Product Name: Bottom Screw

• Product Size: 8.6 mm

• Measurement Item: Hole Depth

II. Measurement Process

The solution adopts direct point-spectrometry measurement to record the height difference from the bottom of the bottom screw to the inner edge of the tapped hole. This method avoids measurement blind spots and reduces thermal drift.
