The main area of application for CLAAS laser measuring technology is the inline measurement of camshafts.
The main advantages of the technology can be fully exploited for this application: speed, flexibility and precision.
The CLM 700 inline laser measuring machine is used to measure shafts up to 700 mm in length after the processing steps of assembly, turning and grinding. Fully automatic process control and optimisation is achieved through direct feedback of the measurement data to upstream manufacturing assemblies.
The camshaft measuring machine is available in three variants (horizontal, vertical and gantry version) to suit the automation systems typically used in the production environment - loading gantries, robots and conveyors.
An overview of the advantages:
- Absolute measurement – no need for special re-tool or adjustment for product changes
- Short measuring time – e.g. 60 characteristics in 12 seconds
- Optimised laser sensors - optimised for difficult measuring surfaces, turned and ground shafts
- Easy servicing - sensor replacement in a few minutes, remote maintenance
- High operational reliability – automatic recognition of coded measuring tips
- Simple integration into production process – Profibus interface
- Standardised data storage – Storage of quality data in QS-Stat format
- Customer benefit: zero-defect supply, basis for systematic reduction of rejection rate
