GRINDLINE is a
highly accurate and extremely flexible laser measurement system, designed specifically for
measuring the diameter of parts finished by through-feed or plunge centreless grinders; it
is ideal for 100% on-line control and for real-time adjustment of the grinder.
GRINDLINE is a Laser
System designed to control the diameters of ground parts, machined by through-feed or
plunge centreless grinders, such as:
electric motor shafts,
shock absorber rods,
pins,
steering racks ...
It works in through-feed,
installed at the output of the machine, wthout having to stop the components.
Automatic shape
recognition of ground parts: Grindline software ignores all shape irregularities that
might otherwise compromise the result of measurement.
It gauges up to 10
different diameters on components
ground by plunge type grinders.
It measures diameter and
taper on parts ground by
through-feed machines.
It checks tolerances
and provides signals to reject
out-of-tolerance pieces.
It performs automatic
machine regulation, to compensate
the wearing of the grinding wheel.
Detailed statistical
reports are available: the
recorded data can be processed in real time or down-loaded to a remote computer.

Zero-defect production: the 100% inspection allows out-of-tolerance parts
to be detected and sorted, avoiding any risk of rejects or later complaints.
Labour savings: the unsupervised automatic control makes lighter
work for the grinder operating staff.
Reduction of scrap: the real time grinder regulation prevents
machining any out-of-tolerance parts.
Quality Certification: the on-line inspection makes random sample checks
redundant and allows the printing of detailed reports to prove Product Quality and Process
Capability.
Excellent flexibility: thanks to
its wide measuring range (40 or 80 mm) and to the exclusive data processing software, the
system enables gauging of a wide number of diameters and types of components without
specific dedication.
Through-feed capability: the
non-contact laser operating principle enables inspection without having to stop or
slow-down the component.
High precision: a patented self-calibration device guarantees
permanent gauge accuracy with no re-mastering required.
It is insensitive to ambient
temperature changes: the self-calibration device automatically compensates any drift
due to room temperature changes, making the gauge ideal for use in the workshop
environment.
High gauging speed: getting an
excellent repeatability in a short measuring time makes the on-line applicationconsistent
with high production rates.
Turn-key solutions: Aeroel supplies a wide range of accessories for
cleaning and moving the part, assuring a high overall system performance.
Competitive price: the through-feed gauging doesn t involve
complicated and costly handling devices, making the cost/benefits ratio even more
favourable.
Know-how and service: Aeroel
provides qualified and efficient technical service, thanks to their unmatched experience
in applying laser technology on centreless grinders.
3 years guarantee: the optical gauging avoids all wearing and
adjusting problems associated with touch probes; the solid state laser source warrants
long operational life.
Made in Europe: GRINDLINE complies with the high quality and
safety standards set by the European Union.
