SCREW THREADS

Screw thread
The helical ridge produced by forming a
continuous helical groove of uniform
section on the external or internal surface of
cylinder or cone is known as screw threads
FUNCTIONS
Transmission of power & Motion.

Fastening

Thread angle : 55 degrees

Pitch = 1 / T.P.I
Square Thread
 Square Thread

1. This square threads has a powerful root

2. These threads are used for lifting heavy loads
3. Ex: screw jack, lead screw of the machine,
vice spindle

Thread angle : 90 degrees

PROFILE PROJECTORS

Profile projectors are

inspection instruments that
enlarge and project the work
piece onto the screen with
perfect magnification
accuracy.
 ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

SOURCE OF LIGHT.( Tungsten arc lamp).

COLLIMATING OR CONDENSING LENS.(To
render the beam of light from source parallel).

PROJECTION LENS.(To form a real image on the
screen).

SCREEN.( Translucent so that image can be viewed
from opposite side).

 TYPES

Horizontal Projector.

Vertical Projector.

Cabinet Projector.

Screw Thread Projector.
 ADVANTAGES
It has a small number of moving parts and hence
a higher accuracy.

It has a very high magnification

(5X,10X,20X,50X,100X).

Accuracy of 1 micron can be obtained.

 ADVANTAGES

The work piece image (either contour

or surface or both) can be projected at
desired magnification for efficient
measurement and inspection.
Easy to handle.
Human errors are reduced.
 DISADVANTAGES
As the instrument has high magnification,
heat from the lamp may cause the setting to
drift.

An electrical supply is necessary.

The apparatus is usually large and
expensive.
 DISADVANTAGES
The instrument must be used in a dark
room in order to take reading easily.

Requires a skilled operator.

Limited for small parts.
