Description
The Universal ThreadChecker™ is a noncontact proximity measuring system. This low-cost, easy-to-use
system detects the presence or absence of male and female threads in both ferrous and non-ferrous
metals.

threaded and a non-threaded hole in the size and material of the part to be checked. The electronics
is easily calibrated to any ThreadChecker™ sensor and for most hole/thread configurations as
follows:
