Every two years, the Expomaq focuses on experts from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) zone, occupying key exhibition sectors such as construction machinery and machine tools, robotics, software, forming and embossing processes, as well as handling and storage. The exhibition at the German Pavilion this year is being hosted for the second time by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) in partnership with the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) and supported by the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW). Nineteen German companies in all will present technology “made in Germany” in the shared exhibition space. Among other products, Klingelnberg will be exhibiting its leading-edge P 16 precision measuring center for small workpieces.
Sustainable quality management for drive elements
“The P 16 is designed specifically to meet the requirements of small components, which are needed particularly in the automotive, power tool, pump, e-mobility and small drives market segments,” says Adrian Hernandez, Managing Director of the Mexican subsidiary. The fully automatic CNC-controlled P 16 precision measuring center is designed as a compact unit for the workpiece diameter range up to 160 mm. The machine is used to inspect cylindrical gears, pinion type cutters, worms and worm wheels, hobs, bevel gears, general dimension, shape, and positional deviations of axially symmetrical workpieces, cam and camshaft measurement and rotor measurement. The P 16 owes its compact size to an innovative modification: Thanks to a newly developed workpiece clamping system, there is no need for a counter support.
Productivity increases with the Klingelnberg P series
Stringent precision requirements for gearing measurements and increasingly complex drive components demand the best measuring technology available and a machine and software concept optimized for these applications. This is why leading international manufacturers rely on precision measuring centers from Klingelnberg, which combine a range of different measurement tasks in a single machine – it’s no coincidence that they are one of the most widely used standards in the industry and are used as a reference by metrology institutes.
Expomaq visitors can see this innovative technology “made in Germany” first-hand at booth 1906 in Hall C4.
