Laser Systems GRINDLINE.X Laser System for through-feed, single diameter measuring and grinder regulation. The Grindline.X Laser System has been specially designed for on-line gauging of the outside diameter of products manufactured by through-feed centreless grinding machines, like pins, shock absorbers rods, steering racks or any other part having one ground diameter only to be checked. The main functions of the system are as follows: • through-feed measurement and display of the ground diameter • tolerance checking and output alarms for part sorting • real-time grinder regulation • processing and printing of statistical reports • interface with remote computer

System configuration The Grindline.X System is based on a Xactum Laser Gauge installed at the output of the grinder, which measures the nished diameter of the part after the machining process. The ground parts, after cleaning by blowing away the water and oil emulsion, are made to pass through the laser beam, to carry out hundreds of measurements distributed along the axis of the piece. The signals coming from the gauge are processed by the software: thanks to advanced processing and ltering techniques, the Grindline software only extracts those measurements carried out on ground lengths,...

The Grindline.X Software The Grindline.X software is pre-loaded inside the Xactum gauge and, thanks to its modular structure (basic package + optional Regulation and Statistics) it can meet all operational requirements. Special care has been taken to ensure that the system is easy to use and simple to program even by nonexperts. Through the CE-100 Interface Panel, the operator uses function keys and pop-up menus to select the various functions or to enter the numerical values requested by the program. • Regulation is started after having positively checked a real trend to drift from the...

For 25 Ø 38 mm the linearity is ± 0.75 μm. The value is inclusive of the Aeroel’s masters uncertainty (± 0.3 μm ) (2) For Ø 40 mm. For 40 Ø 78 mm the linearity is ± 1.5 μm. The value is inclusive of the Aeroel’s masters uncertainty (± 0.3 μm )...
