Roughness Measurement

Software

THE SMART WAY OF MEASURING

All Klingelnberg precision measuring centers in the P-series can be also equipped with a high-precision roughness measurement device. This roughness measurement can be integrated fully automatically into both gearing measurement and coordinate measurement, meaning that all measurements can be carried out in a single clamping.

Reproducibility of 0.01 µm is achieved with the precision CNC-controlled measuring procedures. The innovative miniature roughness probe also makes it possible to carry out fully automatic measurement of gear teeth as small as module 0.9. This is possible thanks to a specially developed design that provides contact with the largest possible area of the gearing surface. Even the most intricate structures on barrel-finished gear teeth can be measured and evaluated with the utmost precision. The measurements are then evaluated in a clear, readable report which accurately shows the roughness measurement graphs and the roughness and contact ratio parameters. High-precision measurement is guaranteed, even in the shop-floor environment!

Our customers obtain made-to-measure solutions every time with Klingelnberg’s roughness measurement software: For bevel gear measurements, for example, angled probes are available for ring gears as well as the standard straight design for pinions. 

HIGHLIGHTS
