| | | The housing-bore measurement device, idiamCONTROL, acquires the wear in the rear holes of extruder suppliers machines by measuring the internal diameter. An importantcriterion for the qualityor the wear oftubes in industrial applications is the dimensional conformance ofthe internal diameter over the complete length. The measurement system, idiamCONTROL, carries out the measurement process inside the tube with very high accuracy, detecting possible points of wear extremely quickly. The integrated capacitive displacement sensors measure the actual bore diameter over the complete length of the process section. Through the additional acquisition of the axial sensor position with a cable-length measurement system, local deviations in diameter are found quickly and reliably With the cable-length measurement system each sensor position on the longitudinal axis of the hole is assigned a diameter. The result gives the diameter longitudinal profile in six tracks and an axial spatial resolution of 5 mm. The wear is calculated from the respective diameter values by the evaluation software. This enables accurate planning of the maintenance and replacement intervals of the individual housing parts without having to disassemble the processing section. | | |
