Control International Trade Fair for Quality Assurance, a key professional event concerning industrial quality assurance now in its 34th year, will open its doors in Stuttgart May 5-8.
System-supplier Klingelnberg will be there, presenting its portfolio of products and services. Alongside the tried-and-tested solutions, Klingelnberg will also be exhibiting a number of solutions in new markets. Visitors will get hands-on experience with a range of applications demonstrated on the P 16 G, P 26, P 40, and P 100 precision measuring centers. For the first time, Klingelnberg will also be offering a seminar series directly at its booth. Presentations covering all aspects of rolling bearing measurement, complete measurement of axially symmetrical components, and optical measuring technology will be given at scheduled times.
For decades, users in a broad array of industries have relied on Klingelnberg’s proven measuring technology, which replaces up to six conventional measuring devices. The result is fully automatic execution in a single clamping of gear measurement, optical measurement, general coordinate measurement, form and positional measurement, roughness measurement and contour measurement. The measuring technology and machine design are the same for the entire P-series line of precision measuring centers and can be customized with add-on options. In the G series version, Klingelnberg Precision Measuring Centers are perfectly suited to production processes that require not just dimensional measurement tasks, but particularly complex form and surface measurements in large numbers.
The P 16 G offers solutions for complete measurements of roller bearings. Roller bearings have to perform several different tasks at once: They have to ensure high stability for shafts while providing low power losses and high durability. The resulting requirements concerning material, geometry, form accuracy, and surface roughness represent a particular challenge for manufacturing, as current quality standards require the use of a number of different precision measuring devices. Dimensions are therefore measured on a coordinate measuring machine, form and noise emission on a form tester, surface roughness on a surface tester, and contours (e.g. edge radius) on a contour measuring station. Klingelnberg follows the approach of executing these processes in one stage as a complete measurement (Done in One). A Klingelnberg Precision Measuring Center is capable of fast measurement of dimensions, shape, contour and surface roughness in one automated cycle.
P 26 cuts measuring time with Klingelnberg optical metrology. To be equipped for all measurement tasks, Klingelnberg combines Hispeed Optoscan optical measuring technology with the established, high-precision 3D Nanoscan probing system. This system incorporates maximum precision with the required robustness for a production environment. Thanks to the high-speed changeover feature, the optimal measurement system can be used for every task.
The two methods are also applied in rapid succession for cylindrical gear measurements. Specifically, this can be illustrated using an application example taken from e-mobility: for a toothed gear with 54 teeth, the total measuring time can be reduced from 2.5 minutes to 90 seconds. To achieve this, the time-intensive measurements are performed in a very targeted manner with the optical sensors and are significantly reduced as a result, by up to 90 percent in the ideal case.
Measurement tasks in which tactile measurement presents advantages with respect to measurement time, flexibility or accuracy are performed in turn using the tactile method. The fact that this operational sequence has been integrated into the world-renowned Klingelnberg cylindrical gear software is noteworthy. As a result, the measurement methods are combined in a fully automatic, time-optimized manner, simply by making the appropriate selection.
Whether making gearings for rail transport, the wind power industry, printing machines, or the mining industry, the fully automatic CNC-controlled P 100 precision measuring center is the perfect fit. Highly precise, reliable and compact, and available with the whole range of software and hardware options, this precision measuring center ensures that all universal requirements will be met, even for job shoppers. Long workpieces can easily be clamped between centers and reliably measured thanks to a long vertical axis measuring up to 1200 mm. The high-precision rotary table allows the P 100 to be used as a full-fledged form measurement device. In addition to precise, thermo-homogeneous mechanical parts, an integrated vibration isolation system, temperature-neutral measurement systems, workpiece temperature logging, and a sophisticated temperature model in the machine ensure highly precise measurements – in or out of the measuring rooms. The robust design and a unique collision protection mechanism for the probing system allow the machine to be used directly on the production floor. This effectively reduces foot traffic and maintenance times and eliminates costs for measuring rooms and air-conditioning.
P 40 provides proven solutions in gear measurement. Stringent precision requirements for gearing measurements and increasingly complex drive components demand the best measuring technology available and a machine and software concept optimized for these applications. Klingelnberg precision measuring centers represent the most widely used standard in the industry, while also serving as the reference for metrology institutes. Simple, easy operation of the measuring centers is guaranteed for all applications, as will be demonstrated at the booth using the P 40 precision measuring center as an example. Not only does the entire model range stand out for its premium machine quality, but reliable quality assurance is also ensured throughout.
For the first time, Klingelnberg will offer interested trade fair visitors live presentations in a short-seminar format on the subjects of rolling bearing measurement, complete measurement of axially symmetrical components and optical measuring technology. The expert team will hold 20-minute presentations directly at the fair booth, each scheduled at a specific time in the morning or afternoon.
