ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENT

Product Highlights

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY FOR MAXIMUM PRECISION

  • Fully automatic roughness measurement now possible from module 0.9
  • High-precision sensing and evaluation of superfine structures on surface-ground gearings

All precision measuring centers in the P-series can be equipped with a high-precision roughness measurement device. This roughness measurement can be integrated fully automatically into both the gearing measurement and the coordinate measurement, allowing all measurements to be conducted in one clamping.

  • Fully automatic roughness measurement of gearings from as small as module 0.9 mm, as well as shafts and plane surfaces
  • Evaluation of roughness parameters according to DIN EN ISO 4287 (Ra, Rz, Rt, Rmax)
  • Evaluation of contact ratio parameters according to DIN EN ISO 13565-2 (Rk, Rpk, Rvk, MR1, MR2)
  • Skid sensing system for effective separation of the usable signal from ambient influences
  • Integrated motorized swivel device for automatic alignment of the diamond needle with a diamond tip radius of 2 µm or 5 µm
  • Optimal scanning conditions with measuring runs similar to gear measurement
  • Comprehensive collision protection
  • Optimized design to protect the diamond needle
  • Extremely high resolution of 7 nm
  • Robust, reproducible measuring results even on extremely smooth (e.g., surface-ground) surfaces
  • Easy handling through integration into the normal measuring process
  • Precise measurement, even in the shop-floor environment
  • Fully automatic procedure for probe change (option)

Secure a training position at KLINGELNBERG now for 2022

Promoting young talent has always been an extremely important focus for machine manufacturer Klingelnberg. Training its own qualified personnel is one of the most important things the company does to counter the ever-increasing shortage of skilled workers. This was the impetus behind a project developed by Klingelnberg’s current vocational trainees to give prospective vocational trainees insight into their professional fields through a series of short videos.

In addition to vocational training in the industrial, technical, and commercial areas, Klingelnberg currently also offers dual-track studies and cooperative engineer training (KIA in German). In partnership with the Hückeswagen vocational college, candidates have the opportunity to combine training paths, for example, by obtaining a full commercial or technical training degree and a full Abitur diploma from a German secondary school, qualifying them for university admission. The company also offers internships for secondary-school and university students.
“As a leader in the gear industry, we are preparing to face the challenges of the future,” explains Dennis Weiche, Head of Human Resources at Klingelnberg. “In the area of training, we are doing this by targeting specific company requirements. As a result, our vocational training programs take into account all of the professional profiles that are relevant for us, now and in the future.

Particularly in view of demographic trends, every company today is challenged to find new ways and adopt alternative approaches for attracting and motivating highly skilled young people for the company and gaining their loyalty over the long-term,” notes Weiche.

Klingelnberg vocational trainees introduce themselves in a series of short videos
Anyone interested in learning more about the individual industrial trades learned through an apprenticeship at Klingelnberg can go to the KLINGELNBERG YouTube channel for an initial overview. A part of a project they developed, the vocational trainees at Klingelnberg have come up with a great way to introduce the skilled trades they are learning to future vocational trainees. In short videos lasting approximately 120 seconds, they present their fields of activity, explain what they really love about the profession, and tell the viewers what vocational training is really all about. The end product is available for everyone to see on the Klingelnberg YouTube channel.

Apply now for the 2022 training year
All training positions within the KLINGELNBERG Group can be viewed on the website at career/training. Our Human Resources department is welcoming applications for the coming year by e-mail at ausbildung(at)klingelnberg.com.

NOVELTY FOR MEASUREMENT FROM MODULE 0.9

Roughness Measurement

With the new miniature roughness probe, even gearings as small as module 0.9 can be measured fully automatically. This is possible thanks to a specially developed design that ensures contact with the largest possible portion of the gearing surface.

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR BEVEL GEARS

Roughness Measurement

Alongside the straight standard design for pinions, an angled probe is available for bevel gear measurement.

VERSATILE APPLICATION

Roughness Measurement

All roughness parameters can be scanned quickly and easily on shafts as well as on the bearing surfaces of gearings.

PROVEN PROBE SYSTEMS FOR CYLINDRICAL GEARS

Roughness Measurement

Roughness measurement on Klingelnberg P machines is proven on several hundred machines over the last years. With the precise CNC-controlled measuring runs reproducibilities of 0.01 µm are achieved.

AUTOMATIC CHANGE, INCL. PLUG CONNECTOR

Roughness Measurement

In connection with the probe change magazine, not only is the roughness probe automatically changed, the plug connector for the sensor system is also inserted fully automatically.

CLEAR, DESCRIPTIVE PRESENTATION

Roughness Measurement

The roughness measurement curves and parameters for roughness and contact ratio are clearly displayed on the screen and in the measurement report – in the same way as evaluation of  the gear geometry.
