Principle of operation

• The user simply loads the carousel fixture, in this example there are twenty components

• The pitch circle diameter of each part passes through the spindle axis meaning each part axis will pass through the spindle axis when the carousel is rotated

• The carousel is rotated to the first component and a centre and level process takes place

• The part can then be measured for roundness, surface finish, contour...

• On completion the carousel moves to the next angular position and the process starts again

Features and benefits

• The Talyrond® 500 HS carries on working after you go home

• Multi-tooling operations and greater flexibility have enabled machining of more complex components while keeping cost to a minimum

• The Talyrond® 500 HS combined with the carousel stage has been designed with this in mind, drastically reducing inspection time and minimising operator attendance

• The addition of a calibration artefact onto the carousel removes the need to switch between part and standard further reducing measurement cycle time

The new rotary stage transforms the Talyrond® 500 HS into a unique, high accuracy, multi-part measurement system

Non-symmetrical power train componentsThe majority of power train components are non-symmetrical by nature making them difficult or impossible to measure on traditional roundness systems. The XL range of instruments have been designed to accept wide swing capacities and are ideal for components such as connecting rods, small engine blocks and heads.

As well as non-symmetrical components these roundness systems can measure crankshafts, pistons, valves and cylinder liners making it the most versatile roundness system on the market.

Large diameter high precision bearings The Talyrond® 565/585 XL systems come with a frictionless air bearing spindle with high load capacity and excellent spindle stiffness. Large diameter bearings can be measured to a high degree of accuracy and with a high degree of resolution thanks to the massive 72,000 data point resolution of the systems high precision encoder. Added to the system’s roundness/flatness capability each XL instrument comes with Harmonic and Velocity analysis software making it a powerful tool for the analysis of bearing surfaces.

Small jet engine and turbine components Whether a supplier of engine components or a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility the XL range can help to control engine efficiency and improve engine build time by the analysis of roundness, flatness and form. Parameters such as eccentricity and run-out added to their angular direction allow prediction and control of out of balance situations particularly on stacked components. Features such as harmonic analysis and velocity analysis provide further information to aid in prediction of vibration and noise.

Specifically designed for the measurement of powertrain components such as heads, blocks, crankshafts, connecting rods and many more

Talyrond® 450

The Talyrond® 450 comprises of a high precision spindle, motorised radial arm and high resolution inductive gauge.

The XY table and offset measurementThe Talyrond® 450’s large capacity heavy duty table has accurate position control in both X and Y directions. The XY table coupled with the precision levelling motors enables automated centre and level of components to micron levels of accuracy.

Automated table control enables movement from bore to bore or feature to feature with minimum set-up time for fast inspection.

Automated axis calibrationA simple automated routine ensures consistent axes calibration regardless of operator or shift changes. By simply selecting axis calibration the coordinates for all axes, the radial straightness unit, column, spindle and X, Y table will automatically update; this feature is key when measuring small bores such as valve guides.

AccessoriesAll the accessories you need to begin using Taylor Hobson roundness measuring systems are supplied as standard. However for more demanding applications or improved measurement capability, we have a range of accessories which may be ordered separately.

Riser Blocks (500 mm)These blocks are particularly useful when using 2 metre and 2.5 metre 450 systems allowing the part to be raised closer to the spindle.

Working PlatformFor particularly tall components Taylor Hobson can provide elevated platforms, these are particularly useful on the 2 and 2.5 metre systems; these wheeled platforms can be moved in and out of position with a minimum of fuss.

Unique contour measurement capabilityOne of the unique features of the Talyrond® 450 is its ability to measure contour with respect to a rotational axis, for example the relationship between valve bores and valve seats can be analysed. This provides a more functional result in line with the component drawing and its intended use.

Speed (3 parts/minute including set-up)The most important benefit these systems offer is speed. In precision industries as manufacturing volumes increase, all too often the bottleneck is metrology. High measurement throughput using the Surtronic® R-100 Series, ensure higher sampling rates are achieved while also supporting increased manufacturing volumes.

Precision (±25 nm spindle accuracy)Although many times faster than traditional benchtop roundness systems, there is no loss of precision or accuracy. Full ISO compliant measurements can be taken with ±25 nm accuracy and 6 nm gauge resolution.

Robustness (suitable for 24/7 operation)All systems are designed for constant 24 hour, 7 days a week use in demanding shop floor environments; manufactured using only the most durable and hard wearing materials.

Ease of use (touchscreen software)The X-sight touch screen software platform with intuitive navigation make the Surtronic® roundness system as easy to use as a Sat Nav or Smartphone with everything you need at your fingertips.

Helix angle correction and thread analysis

Helix angle correction uses the axial measurement taken along the gothic thread profile, transforming it so that it represents a measurement taken perpendicular to the thread.

This allows for tolerancing and analysis of the profile against the design drawing and software simulation of the ball bearing fit within the gothic thread.

Critical gothic arc features such as contact angle, arc radii and distance between centres can be determined as shown in the diagram below.

Using the Twist analysis approach defined in MBN 31007-7 it is possible to get excellent correlation between non-contact and contact measurement.

The big advantage of the non-contact probe is the reduced time for the whole 360 degree measurement.

Measurement and analysis of Twist• The surface finish of a rotating shaft can give rise to seal leakage

or premature failure. Twist analysis is important in the early detection of any issues.

• Twist analysis quantifies the spiralling marks on the shaft

- Developed and patented by Daimler - It uses a 3D map of the surface and filters out all the non

relevant frequencies to leave the twist data - Measurements can be taken with suitable Talyrond® or

Form Talysurf® instruments. Twist results after filtering

Customer requirementsThis manufacturer in recent years has been supplying an increasing number of fuel injector pumps, as more car manufacturers use purchased pumps instead of designing and building their own. Inspections of the cylinder heads are currently completed by different instruments to quantify roundness, concentricity, seat angle and seat form.

With production numbers running far in excess of 300,000 and different fixtures having to be used to measure the same part, a new technique is required to measure all these features with one instrument and fewer fixtures, to specifically reduce time and manual effort and to increase throughput.

Background – how does a fuel injection pump work?In order for an injection action to occur, a build-up of pressure is required. In the Common Rail Accumulator Injection system, the actual build-up of injection pressure is separate from the injection action itself. Pressure is generated in the Rail (also known as an accumulator) from a high pressure pump. This high-pressure pump is driven by the crankshaft of the engine and supplies fuel to the rail at 1,600 bar, even at low engine speeds. The high pressure produces a very fine atomisation of the fuel leading to better and cleaner combustion. As the rail is pressured all the time, the fuel supply can be optimised independently to each injector. The time and duration of fuel injection is controlled by the ECU and can be controlled precisely to optimise combustion and emissions.

Benefits of the common rail principle compared with conventional diesel engines are lower engine noise levels, stronger performance and greater efficiency leading to lower emissions and enhanced fuel economy.

Because of the high pressures involved in this mechanism the sealing faces of the pump are critical in terms of form, angle and surface finish and require tight control.

The solution – TalyMasterTalymaster is a brand new inspection concept combining roughness, roundness and contour on a fully automated inspection system. The instrument incorporates complete part manipulation ensuring high throughput and significantly reduced inspection costs compared to the traditional inspection methods.

The cylinder heads were mounted on a magnetic plate (dedicated fixtures would be required in a production environment) and under program control roundness, concentricity, straightness, parallelism and seat angle were measured and quantified. Only four cylinder heads were supplied, though more components can be fixtured if required.

A critical feature on the cylinder heads is to be able to migrate from one hole to another without removing the part. Using the TalyMaster XY stage it is now possible to mount several components at one time, measure all features on each part as well as compute the distance between features.

IntroductionTaylor Hobson works with leading manufacturers of actuator components to develop unique measurement techniques for the industry. This enables us to provide capability for the reliable inspection of production parts as well as providing detailed information needed to improve the designs and production process.

We understand ball screws, lead screws and bearings the factors affecting their performance, many of which documented in ISO, DIN, ANSI and JIS standards. Inspection of these factors is fundamental to ensure product specifications are achieved.

Ball screws and lead screws are routinely used for a wide range of applications from aircraft control surfaces and landing gear, to precision movement of machine tools, as well as various automotive applications. Each of these applications has a different set of priorities in the requirements for actuation which need to be accommodated for.

Ball and lead screw applications Ball and lead screws are used to convert rotational and linear motion in a variety of applications, the most common being linear actuators such as the ones used for aircraft control surfaces

These types of actuators are used in a range of applications with as big a range of requirements. The highest precision parts are required for aerospace and machine tool slides. Other less demanding example applications include automatic gates.

The same components are also used in other applications such as steering wheel columns to provide a smooth, linear motion as the steering wheel is turned.
