ABSOLUTE GAUGES FOR IN-PROCESS MEASURING OF DIAMETER ON CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINE TGA300 TGA200 Top Gauge Absolute (TGA) helps to improve precision and efficiency in manufacturing processes, through an accurate measuring of workpieces diameters. Its outstanding performance, in fact, combines one of the Balance Systems’ milestones “TG200 gauge head” with state-of-the-art mechatronic solutions that earn a quick measuring process along with a high accuracy level. Top Gauge Absolute measures all diameters within its measurement range, with pre/in/post-process cycle, with no need to reset the single diameter. Allows productions to be stable and consistent and with tight tolerances Compensates the grinding wheel wear Increases productivity Can be implemented both on new and existing machines in the field (retrofitting) Does not require surveillance 2 simultaneous measuring process; availability in combination with the measurement of the axial position (active or passive flagging) 32 part programs Measuring of smooth and interrupted surfaces In-process roundness and shape analysis 6 commands to control the infeed Thermal compensat

Need The machining on cylindrical grinder is typically the last operation which is done on a workpiece with diameters that requires tight dimensional and geometric tolerances. To ensure this result, the dimensional control is a crucial stage of the machining process, for both the measuring timeliness and accuracy and for the costs. In the mass production, the workpiece measuring control is automatically performed in the machine tool by means of high-precision gauges, each one zeroed on a specific master. Thanks to this process a constant quality and a high productivity are obtained, as...

Configuration TGA family includes several ranges of operation, each one can be programmed according to the specific requirements of the application. The high precision TGA measuring heads are fully managed in automatic mode by the multi-function modular system VM25. The VM25 can be applied on the grinding machine NCU/PLC thanks to several available protocols and interfaces: • Digital I/O • DP Profibus • Profinet The VM25 control unit is delivered with a panel with color display and a VM25 HMI software application for PC ® Windows. Both of them can be used by the operator to configure the...
