PRECISION MEASURING CENTERS

A LEADER IN GEAR MEASURING TECHNOLOGY

Sustainable Quality Management

of Drive Elements

Stringent precision requirements for gear tooth measurements

and increasingly complex drive components demand the best
measuring technology available and a machine and software
concept optimized for these applications. That's why leading
manufacturers put their trust in Klingelnberg precision measur-
ing centers, which represent the most widely used standard in
the industry, while also serving as the reference for metrology
institutes.

Klingelnberg measuring centers (P-series) today are ideally

suited to handle most measurement tasks in a wide range of
sectors: Users in the automotive and commercial vehicle indus-
tries, the aerospace and aeronautical engineering industries, as
well as the wind power industry rely on this technology, which
replaces up to six conventional measuring devices. This allows
the following measurement tasks to be fully automated in a
single setup:

Gear measurement
Optical measurement
General coordinate measurement
Form and position measurement
Roughness measurement
Contour measurement

The modular concept used in the P-series of-

fers measuring devices in just the right size
and a broad range of applications to provide
the utmost in accuracy:

 easuring centers for workpieces

OUTSTANDING MEASURING TECHNOLOGY

Cutting-Edge Technology for

Maximum Safety and Precision

At the heart of a precision measuring center is an accurate, du-

rable rotary table. Configured as a measuring axis (C axis), it
provides concentric seating of the workpieces to be tested. In
combination with the three linear measuring axes, tangential (X
axis), radial (Y axis) and vertical (Z axis), the precision measur-  achine design with optimal
M
ing centers reliably trace and inspect the functional surfaces of axis arrangement
gearing and general drive components. This guarantees maxi-
mum measuring accuracy and reproducibility.  igh geometrical long-term
H
All Klingelnberg measuring centers are equipped with heavy-
stability thanks to large compo-
duty, stable beds and guide bodies made of cast iron. At the nents for substructure and guide
same time, all bearings and guides are backlash-free at the bodies
measuring axes. These form the basis for the high basic me-
chanical accuracy of these measuring centers. The integrated  mooth, maintenance-free AC
S
3D tracer head enables both discrete-point probing and scan-
direct drives in all measuring axes
ning, continuous measured value logging. The powerful software
makes it possible to evaluate the results quickly and easily (see
Powerful, intuitive software

EXPERTISE IN COUNTLESS INDUSTRIES

Drive Components
with Guaranteed Quality
Provide Optimal Performance
A great many drive systems are an important part of everyday
life. Many drive components are used in the vehicle industry.
Alongside the powertrain and its major components (the engine,
speed change gear, drive shafts and wheel-drive assemblies),
others include drives for additional components, seat/mirror
adjustment and window lifters, to name just a few. All drives must
operate flawlessly, run as smoothly as possible and demonstrate a
high degree of efficiency.

In the aviation industry, as well as in general transmission

manufacturing, drive components, adjusters, stationary
gearboxes and other devices are held to the highest standards.
The P-series meets all requirements for testing the performance
characteristics of the components for these systems, thereby
ensuring the quality and operational safety of the drives.
