Automatic Shaft
Analysis
in the Factory Environment
The Helmel Axium
Shaft Measuring Machine has been
developed to provide precise, automatic
dimensional measurement of cylindrical
and shaft-like or manufactured parts.
The Axium is well suited to crankshaft
inspections. The SMM is hardened for use
in production and on the factory floor,
and requires minimal training for
non-metrology employees.
Designed as a
4-Axis System
Although
the Axium has been designed as a 4-axis
measuring system, it can be configured
as a 3-axis system to fit your
manufacturing needs. The Geomet
metrology software is designed for
measurement, verification and GD&T
applications. The Geomet software is
resides on a powerful Windows
based system which contains the motion
controller with proprietary motion
control software.
The
Helmel Axium
shaft
measuring machine presents a horizontal
format, with a major cylindrical axis
oriented left to right, duplicating the
way most shafts are manufactured and
ground. Parts are typically staged
between centers, or on solid or rotating
Vees. The system employs the Renishaw
Touch Trigger or scanning probes for
part sensing and can incorporate an
automatic stylus changing system for
totally automatic operation.
Geomet Expanded
4-Axis Support
Measurement output
can be made available for immediate
accept/reject decisions based on
nominal/tolerance features. manual or
automatic feedback of deviations may be
used to control the manufacturing
process. As a 4-axis system, single
feature may be inspected while rotation
takes place in the 4th axis. This unique
feature provided by Geomet, allow single
features to measure from two different
sides eliminating construction errors.
The standard Axium
shaft
measuring machine
is suitable for shaft lengths up to
900mm (36"), with a maximum diameter of
300mm (12"). Capacity for shaft lengths
up to 1500mm (60") can be obtained as an
option.
