We provide you with solutions for a wide range of tasks in form measurement – from the fully automatic CNC measuring station for all to combined form and roughness measuring systems to solutions for large and heavy shafts.
Formline solutions achieve high measurement accuracy even in production environments. At the same time, they are easy to operate thanks to user-friendly software and can be adapted to numerous measuring tasks with a wide range of accessories.
For special requirements, we develop measuring systems that are specially tailored to your needs. You benefit from our extensive knowledge in the development of special solutions - for example for brake discs.
Our form measuring systems are equipped with a high-precision rotary table with air bearings and are extremely robust. They are suitable both for measuring tasks in series production and for use in the measuring room with frequently changing measuring tasks.
The systems offer a high degree of automation with automatic workpiece alignment and CNC-controlled measuring axes. With the optional tilt and rotation module, even hard-to-reach probing positions are reached without interrupting the CNC run.
Equipped with an optional double-tipped probe arm, the form measuring systems also perform roughness, waviness and twist measurements – all in one setup.
- Measurement of form, run-out and position tolerances
- Determination of specific characteristics such as conicity, crowning or dominant roundness waviness
- Optional roughness, waviness and twist measurement
- Magnetic probe coupling for fast probe arm changes
- Convertible, double-tipped probe system for form and roughness
Highlights:
- Time saving thanks to very fast, fully automatic centering and leveling and CNC controlled measuring axes
- Flexible use with free probe system in C, Z and R direction for form, roughness, waviness and twist measurement in a single clamping operation
- Heights of vertical measuring axis: 350, 550 or 900 mm
- Vibration-damped instrument table with container for PC and system electronics
- Magnetic probe arm coupling for fast changing of the probe arm and protection in case of collisions
- Flexible access to external/internal measurement positions thanks to fully automatic probe positioning, fully automatic, freely adjustable probe force and reversible scanning direction
System features:
- Highly accurate air bearing rotary table with outstanding rigidity for consistently high precision
- High resolution with 0.1 µm in the R/Z axis and 360,000 points in the C axis
- Integrated linear scale and active level control
- CNC controlled motorized tilt and rotation module for fully automatic measurements
- Double-tipped probe system can be switched from form to roughness during the CNC run
- For roughness measurement, the probing force can be programmed in any position of the probe arm in accordance with standards
- Axes with high resolution and very low interference
- Automatic zenith alignment of the probe arm through 3-ball system
Benefits:
- Precise: high-resolution measuring system for exact results
- Reliable measurement results: no mechanical transverse forces
- Constant: repetitive accuracy of up to 0.3 µm
- Reliable analysis: detection of form and dimensional deviations using the Turbo Shaft software
- Robust: suitable for use in metrology lab and production environments
