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)

Street at the Hückeswagen/Winterhagen site to be named after KLINGELNBERG

A street at the Hückeswagen/Winterhagen site is going to be named after machine manufacturer Klingelnberg. The city of Hückeswagen announced the official street name of Gustav-Adolf-Klingelnberg-Straße, when a building application was submitted for the construction of a new industrial building.  

“We are delighted to receive this honor,” said Christoph Küster, Chief Financial Officer of the KLINGELNBERG Group. “We suggested the name Gustav Adolf Klingelnberg to the city of Hückeswagen because he played a key role in shaping the history and evolution of gears. As Hückeswagen’s biggest employer today, we have a great deal to thank him for. It is thanks to his tenacity and entrepreneurship spirit in the early 20th century that Klingelnberg is a world leader in gear technology today.”

Entrepreneurship and inventive spirit of the early 20th century
Gustav Adolf Klingelnberg, who was born on 07 September 1880, first completed a commercial apprenticeship with export company F.C. Tillmans in Remscheid. He was unable to continue his education because his mother, Hulda Klingelnberg, needed her son's help in the family company due to the early death of her husband. On 01 July 1900, at just nineteen years of age, Gustav Adolf Klingelnberg began his career in his parents’ business. He became a partner on 11 December 1902. Gustav Adolf Klingelnberg’s younger brother, Consul Walter Friedrich Klingelnberg, whose education was on the technical side, was brought in to carry on the company business together with his older brother. On 26 April 1909, Hulda Klingelnberg handed the business entirely over to her two sons, Gustav Adolf and Walter Friedrich, and the younger brother became a partner on the same day. 

An exemplary rise ensued in the decades that followed. The production sites were expanded, and the Hückeswagen factory was added. Office buildings were constructed, and the company established branch offices in Germany and abroad. The number of employees at the company also increased together with the successes. 

Gustav Adolf Klingelnberg was described as someone who was extremely ambitious, strict with himself, and fair to others. He was unerring in his decision-making, which gave direction to the company’s technical ambitions. For example, Gustav Adolf Klingelnberg stood by Klingelnberg gears – despite the failures and the material sacrifices. The breakthrough which occurred later proved him right. Aachen Technical University awarded him an honorary doctorate. He died on 09 December 1947. 

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.
