Sterling Heights, Mich., September 20, 2011—Sterling Heights, Mich.-based Eagle Thread Verifier, LLC, makers of an automated thread gauge system, announced today that technology veteran, Edward Mutz is now Eagle Thread Verifier’s Chief Information Officer.  The announcement was made at the 2011 Quality Expo at McCormick Place North in Chicago.

Mutz brings over 25+ years of technology integration experience to Eagle Thread Verifier.  One of his first initiatives is to bring fully integrated plant floor quality reporting to users of the ETV system.  As CIO for Eagle Thread Verifier, Mutz plans to provide new functionality to the 21-year old thread verification system such as data collection, data mining, monitoring and control components, and quality reports.  Quality metrics will be captured for business and quality reporting to provide visibility to product life cycle and overall quality of end products manufactured.

“We’re very excited to have Ed join the team here at Eagle Thread Verifier.  His technology and integration management experience is critical to providing world-class quality systems for our customers,” said Gordon Taylor, President, Eagle Thread Verifier.

Mutz’s leadership and management experience is deep and diverse working in senior IT management positions integrating software solutions for SupplySolution and Strategic Connections and industry leading IT services companies such as HP and several major automotive manufacturers and tier ones including GM, Chrysler, TRW, Textron and Delphi.

Simple to install in single and multi-spindle arrangements, the Eagle Thread Verifier (ETV) can be used to automatically prevent improperly tapped holes from reaching assembly, saving production time and cost.  The ETV reliably and consistently completes test cycles in seconds, adding no time to existing production cycles, and avoids the errors of manual gauging and inspection.  Manufacturers interested in receiving product specifications for the Eagle Thread Verifier system should contact ETV at (586) 764-8218 or visit www.eaglethreadverifier.com.

About Eagle Thread Verifier, LLC

Eagle Thread Verifier is a patented automatic thread gauge that catches 99% of all thread problems in any manufacturing process, including removing weld spatter in projected welded nuts. ETV is designed to operate in the rigorous production environment of coolant and chips, preventing improperly tapped parts from reaching final assembly. Over 50 million thread testing cycles have been conducted by the ETV system in manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S.  The company, an Automation Alley member, is headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan.  For more information, visit www.eaglethreadverifier.com or call (586) 764-8218.

Quality Expo is the leading quality show and conference that provides hands-on access to the newest tools and broadest array of technologies to help you ensure quality, reduce costs, streamline your process, and deliver the value your customers expect. For three days, customers will have the chance to have hands-on technical sessions and experience cutting edge products such as the Eagle Thread Verifier (ETV) up close.

“We’re excited to be participating in the show and bringing our product to the thousands of show attendees and demonstrate how the ETV can help customers save money and time,” said Gordon Taylor, President, Eagle Thread Verifier.

Attendees can visit booth 637 to receive a free demonstration of the Eagle Thread Verifier automated thread gauge system. All visitors to booth will be entered into a drawing to win an iPad2.

The Eagle Thread Verifier system checks threads for pitch diameter (oversize / undersize), proper depth (minimum / maximum), missing holes, broken tap, proper depth of pipe tapped holes, and external threads. The automated system can stop production in seconds if a hole is not identified to the pre-established specification level. The ETV has saved thousands of dollars in non-conforming parts being shipped to customers throughout the automotive industry and is used as a quality control automation tool throughout many manufacturing plants in the Midwest.

The ETV spindle can be added to an existing cell or Eagle Thread Verifier engineers will design and build a manual or automatic load “turnkey” system to fit the application. Manufacturers interested in receiving product specifications for the Eagle Thread Verifier system should contact ETV at (586) 764-8218 or visit www.eaglethreadverifier.com.

Prior to the installation, plant operators use to manually spot-check one part per hour, a time-consuming and costly process.

The Eagle Thread Verifier system checks threads for pitch diameter (oversize / undersize), proper depth (minimum / maximum), missing holes, broken tap, proper depth of pipe tapped holes, and external threads.  The automated system can stop production in seconds if a hole is not identified to the pre-established specification level.  Checking for accurate threads saves countless man hours of sorting parts that are defective and repairing for final assembly.

The Eagle Thread Verifier is used to identify non-conforming parts earlier in the process and to reduce the number that might be produced otherwise.  The ETV has saved thousands of dollars in non-conforming parts being shipped to customers throughout the automotive industry and is used as a quality control automation tool throughout many manufacturing plants in the Midwest.

With Eagle Thread Verifier’s expanded software within the controller, which operates the spindle, the system is able to precisely check the depth of a chamfer or a counterbore.

As with previous ETV models used for lower torque spindle work, the system checks the thread for pitch diameter (oversize / undersize), proper depth (minimum / maximum), missing holes, broken tap, proper depth of pipe tapped holes, and external threads.  This gives ETV a larger range of information to stop production in seconds if a hole is not identified to the pre-established specification level.  Checking for accurate threads saves countless man hours of sorting parts that are defective and repairing for final assembly.

“This new high torque ETV is going to give large-scale manufacturers the needed boost to improve the quality of their operations and eliminate missing holes or broken taps right there on the machine line,” stated Gordon Taylor, president of Eagle Thread Verifier.  “Automotive suppliers in particular will quickly recoup their investment in Eagle Thread Verifier Systems.”

Even with the addition of the higher torque system to the line of thread verification systems, Eagle Thread Verifier still offers the flexibility to check the smaller threaded holes in delicate materials such as aluminum with the original lower torque spindle (9 inch pounds, model LT-50).

The ETV spindle can be added to an existing cell or Eagle Thread Verifier engineers will design and build a manual or automatic load “turnkey” system to fit the application.   Manufacturers interested in receiving product specifications for the next generation of Eagle Thread Verifiers should contact ETV at (586) 764-8218.
