LOBING DETECTION SYSTEM INNOVATIVE REAL-TIME SOLUTION FOR LOBING PROBLEMS obex is THE solution for lobing-detection in centerless grinding. Lobing is deviation from roundness on a centerless ground part—an issue for anyone who produces or uses centerlessground product. LaserLinc’s Lobex Lobing Detection System is a real-time tool for detection and elimination of lobing problems. That’s right, with Lobex you can detect lobing as it occurs. The system can identify 3-, 5-, 7-, 9- or 11-lobing on centerless ground products as they exit a grinder. This means that an operator can make the necessary adjustments to the grinder to bring the product back into spec, saving time and material. Lobex is also ideal for offline inspection. A Lobex system provides repeatable and reproducible data, unlike tri-mike testing, which is inconsistent and prone to usererror. The Lobex software can also identify higher-frequency lobing. Tri-mikes under-report 5-lobing, and compounding the error, 5-lobing in a product masks tri-lobing. The Lobex system combines one of LaserLinc’s 3-axis laser scan micrometers with Total Vu software. The software includes polar charts, trend charts, data logging, alarms, SPC, and customizable reports. Total Vu is LaserLinc’s sophisticated, yet operator-friendly measurement/data processing package— which runs on any Windows-based PC. Lobex micrometers include the Triton312, Triton330, Triton331, and Triton360. The choice of micrometer will depend upon the process and product diameter.
