Every bolt counts: what an optical inspection and sorting machine checks
A thread fault, a missing hole or a surface mark on one bolt can stop an assembly line. What the Glass Disc checks on every bolt at up to 300 PPM.
Why one bolt matters
Bolts hold everything from automotive frames to industrial machinery together. A small defect — a thread inconsistency, a misaligned hole, a surface mark — can compromise safety, halt production or damage a supplier's standing. Manual sampling does not catch it in time.
What the machine checks on every bolt
The Glass Disc Machine for Bolts Inspection carries each bolt past its camera stations at up to 300 parts per minute and sorts it automatically.
- Thread measurement and thread defect detection
- Hole continuity for structural integrity
- 360° surface inspection for dents, scratches and cracks
- OCR / OCV marking verification for traceability
- OK / NOT-OK dual ejection for consistent sorting
What the record is worth
Every inspected bolt leaves a result with its measured values. For automotive and other high-stakes supply chains that is the traceability the customer asks for, and the image-backed reports give the production team the trend before a defect becomes a batch problem.
Beyond quality control
Delivering bolts without defects, consistently, is what makes a supplier the one the customer keeps: fewer returns, fewer complaints, and a place on the list for the critical applications.

Why do fasteners pass one shift and fail the next?
Same fasteners, same machines, same drawing — a lot approved in one shift and rejected in the next. The parts did not change; the inspection did.
