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)

Extending a Heartfelt Welcome – 14 Trainees Take First Step on Career Ladder at KLINGELNBERG

High-quality, practical and modern vocational training provides an indispensable foundation, now and in the future. For 14 young professionals, a new chapter in life began on 01 August 2022, as they started their training with machine manufacturing firm Klingelnberg. The available apprenticeships include industrial management, cutting machine operation, industrial mechanics, electronics for industrial engineering, specialist IT for system integration, and dual studies for mechanical engineering.

Welcome Week with Vocational Subjects and Team Building
In keeping with tradition, the first week was all about getting to know one another. During the five-day introductory phase, not only did the novice professionals receive important information about the company, but they also attended their first product training sessions. This included a tour of the Peterstraße/Hückeswagen plant, as well as a visit to the ultra-modern large bevel gear production facility located in Heinrich-Schicht-Straße at the nearby Winterhagen/Hückeswagen facility and the new assembly hall, still under construction. A walkabout through the individual departments provided further interesting insights into the daily operations of a global company. 

And to strengthen the team spirit, various sports activities were planned, in addition to the many informational and professional aspects presented: the career starters showed their team spirit by successfully completing the specified course at GHW Climbing GmbH, Hückeswagen. All of the Klingelnberg trainees then finished the introduction phase together with an afternoon barbecue.

Application Phase Launched for 2023
Vocational training is highly valued at Klingelnberg. The company is now looking for committed up-and-coming talent for the training year 2023 and will increase the number of apprenticeships available, particularly in the industrial/technical area. The application phase has already begun. Interested candidates can find more information at https://klingelnberg.com/en/career/training.

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.
