GAGE THREADSPEC 2.0 SIMPLIFIES CALCULATION OF THREAD ELEMENTS AND CHARACTERISTICS

The Johnson Gage Company has launched  ThreadSpecs 2.0, a new and fully integrated thread engineering software programdesigned to simplify the calcuation of critical thread elements and characteristicsfor UN, UNJ. Buttress, Acme, Metric, Metric J and Whitworth thread forms. Developed for engineering, manufacturing and quality control functions, ThreadSpecs 2.0 allows users to enter thread size data for real time determination of dimensions required for the manufacture or inspection of standard or special external and internal threads, regardless of diameter or pitch. The user-friendly and Windows supported program also includes both plating and coating calculations and their effect on thread dimensional criteria. Key ThreadSpecs 2.0 benefits include capability to provide immediate recalculation upon input change without requiring program  re-initialization; calculation of Max/Min and tolerances for major diameter, minor diameter, pitch diameter, and root radius when applicable for UN, UNJ, M, and MJ threads. The program simultaneously provides internal and external product data, thereby eliminating time consuming and error prone manual thread dimension calculating. Also, ThreadSpec automatically calclulates the effects of plating and coating on thread dimension data display in inch or metric formats. In addition, external and internal data are always displayed on the same screen page
