N. D. Test and Dimensional Measurement of Cylinder Bores

The manufacturing process of cylinder bores of automobile engines can often cause the formation of porosity (resulting from fusion in aluminium or cast iron cylinder bores) or cracks in steel cylinder liners. The need of both a Non-Destructive inspection to detect superficial defects as well as the typical dimensional controls has driven the integration of Eddy Current and pneumatic technology in a single plug.

Non Destructive Test During The Grinding Process on a Centerless Through-feed Machine

The ever-increasing demand for global quality control of the entire production requires technical solutions that can guarantee the best performances at a reasonable cost.

Manual gauging station for inspection of ring-like components (bushings)

The M63 bench is an innovative measuring system with the following strengths: simple and efficient in design, compact and robust.

The bench gauge is dedicated to the final or interoperational inspection of a single bushing type part (vertical axis, radial symmetry and weighing less than 15 Kg/33 lb).

The part is manually loaded and referred on a nosepiece or a descending pivoting arm.

The most recent Marposs measuring transmissions belonging to the AMA line are utilized in the gauge design (made with non-magnetic stainless steel) and with Red Crown pencil probes. These measuring components are mounted to a counterplate fixed to the part support plate by three columns.

This mechanical solution completely isolates the measuring structure from the weight of the part, assuring the highest metrological performances.

If required by the application, the measuring transmissions can be provided with pneumatic retraction. The actuation of the rear measuring group can be manual or pneumatic.

The new M63 bench replaces the Marposs Universal Quick Set bench when no retooling is needed and is provided with guarding for the rear measuring group.

The gauge system can be provided with either static or dynamic capabilities for dimensional and geometric inspection of I.D.’s and/or O.D.’s.

The M67 bench is an innovative measuring system with the following strengths: simplicity and efficient in design, compact and robust.

Its bracketry and guarding are manufactured using Laser Cutting technology which can be easily integrated with CAD systems. This reduces both preparation times and costs for manufacturing of individual details.

The bench is dedicated to the final or interoperational inspection of a single part type weighing less than 6 Kg.

The measuring components are realized with the most recent Marposs measuring transmissions belonging to the AMA line (made in non-magnetic stainless steel) and with Red Crown pencil probes.

The workpiece is manually loaded in the vertical position and referred between centers that are either fixed or motorized.

The M57V bench is an innovative measuring system which offers simplicity through the efficiency of its design, as well as being compact and robust.

The vertical solution provides a much smaller foot print which takes up a limited amount of surface space as compared to the horizontal solution. In addition, vertical loading of the part eliminates part and structural deformation, as well as any bending in the reference centers and helps part dragging in dynamic applications.

The bench, engineered for crankshafts weighing more than 6 Kg, can also check camshafts, gear shafts, rotors and axle shafts.

The measuring components are comprised of the Marposs measuring transmission devices belonging to the AMA line (made of non-magnetic stainless steel) and Red Crown pencil probes. Other cell types can be used in special applications. The bench gauge is dedicated to the inter-operational inspection of a single part type after end face milling, turning, pin bearing milling and grinding. The work piece is loaded manually or by a manual gantry between centers in the vertical position. The centers are either fixed (static measurement) or motorized (dynamic measurement) and the measuring stations are brought onto the part by manual pivoting arms.

M39s (Scanning System)

Measuring System for the Profile Check of Inside and Outside Diameters

Scanning technology is an essential tool for functional control of components produced under high accuracy matching and assembly conditions.
This system not only inspects and graphically displays the dimensional profile of the matching surfaces along their global extension, but also provides indications for the process control of the machine.
By using different measuring elements, the diameter of a bore or an outside diameter can be inspected, along its total length.
The measured values contain detailed information about the diameter and the cylindrical form, which determine the matching conditions or classification.
The use of standard components and a robust mechanical design guarantee excellent performances for years in the shop floor environment.

The M2016 system has been designed for:

Inspection of rotating parts loaded with horizontal axis (e.g. families of shafts)

Use in demanding shop-floor environments immediately after a machining operation thanks to its low sensitivity to dirt and to part surface roughness

The two bi-directional measuring heads provide gauging flexibility at operating rates significantly faster than possible with other devices available in the market today.

Reliable and accurate, it can statically or dynamically perform many types of dimensional and geometric checks, including:

• Diameters Distances Concentricity Ovality Barrel shape Taper Straightness Parallelism Radial runout
• Axial runout

Marposs Quick SPC‚Ñ¢ software allows for an on-line variable data analysis. The use of the Flex Add-On software lets the operator easily program a new part type. Its feedback capabilities make the M2016 an integral part of the production system.
