In-line measurement and automatic grinder regulation system

GRINDLINE is a highly accurate and extremely flexible laser measurement system, designed specifically for measuring the diameter of parts finished by through-feed or plunge centreless grinders; it is ideal for 100% on-line control and for real-time adjustment of the grinder.

Our performance
GRINDLINE is a Laser System designed to control the diameters of ground parts, machined by through-feed or plunge centreless grinders, such as:

- electric motor shafts,
- shock absorber rods,
- pins,
- steering racks...

It works in through-feed, installed at the output of the machine, wthout having to stop the components.
Automatic shape recognition of ground parts: Grindline software ignores all shape irregularities that might otherwise compromise the result of measurement.
It gauges up to 10 different diameters on components ground by plunge type grinders.
It measures diameter and taper on parts ground by through-feed machines.
It checks tolerances and provides signals to reject out-of-tolerance pieces.
It performs automatic machine regulation, to compensate the wearing of the grinding wheel.
Detailed statistical reports are available: the recorded data can be processed in real time or down-loaded to a remote computer.

Benefits
Zero-defect production: the 100% inspection allows out-of-tolerance parts to be detected and sorted, avoiding any risk of rejects or later complaints.
Labour savings: the unsupervised automatic control makes lighter work for the grinder operating staff.
Reduction of scrap: the real time grinder regulation prevents machining any out-of-tolerance parts.
Quality Certification: the on-line inspection makes random sample checks redundant and allows the printing of detailed reports to prove Product Quality and Process Capability.
