Marposs’ electrical gauge actuators are gauging solutions for grinding machines. As compared to former hydraulic and pneumatic solutions, this electromechanical system provides better control of the process as well as reducing maintenance time and costs, the company says.
The products encompass the E-Fenar measuring system, electromechanical slides and the grinding tool arms, which are managed by the Marposs BLU single cable integrated control system. According to the company, these electromechanical solutions can run at higher rates given the ability to better control acceleration/deceleration and consistent speed rates and are also faster and easier to install as there as they require only a single cable for connection.
The E-Fenar in-process gauging solutions can be integrated into an orbital grinder for controlling size on different crankshaft parts or smooth eccentric shafts. Since positioning can be done through this control, checks can be conducted by the same gauge on a part as compared to a traditional actuator requiring a full stroke to clear before going in to check another feature. The actuators enable intermediate positioning points, speed control and acceleration to be preprogrammed for automated checking of the component while in the machine, the company says.
