Standard components for simple and complex measuring chains
Our dimensional metrology checks diameters, lengths, distances, shape, and position of your workpieces either with tactile or pneumatic sensors depending on measuring task and process-integration. The robustness and precision of our measuring solutions are the result of the know-how we have acquired over several decades. This experience can be found in our standard modules developed in-house and which equip our customers‘ simplest „at-line“ manual measurement gages as well as their complex measuring machines, integrated into the most efficient production lines.
Pneumatic measurement convinces with a very high resolution. It is extremely robust and insensitive to dirt, making it perfect for use under tough manufacturing conditions. Our pneumatic process meets the high standards of DIN 2271.
Tactile measurement uses contacting sensors that record the measured values extremely quickly. Typically, tactile sensors are used in multi-point measurement technology where the individual measured values must be recorded quickly in order to maintain a short cycle time.
Pneumatic measuring components
- A pioneer in pneumatic, non-contact measurement technology, we are a world-renowned specialist with more than 70 years of experience. Pneumatic metrology uses air jets in combination with air to electronic converters to create a high pressure air circuit that allows sub-micron measurement of precision parts. Our pneumatic technology is capable of measuring a variety of part features, including I.D., O.D., roundness, cylindricity, parallelism, conicity and even distances between axes.
Tactile measuring components
- Tactile measurement technologies offer excellent quality, reliability, and robustness. Tactile sensors are particularly suited for large tolerance ranges and for workpieces with distinctive roughness characteristics.
Digital comparators
- The Pneutamic and Digitamic are electronic comparators used to visually display information from a pneumatic or tactile measurement circuit. Easy to use, they do not require any adjustment and can be used by operators without any particular expertise in metrology.
Probe satellites
-
Probe satellites function as a receiver for pneumo-electronic transducers, or LVDT tactile sensors. Each measurement circuit is attached to one channel on the probe satellite, which corresponds to an assigned I.D. in the evaluation software.
The PS50 & PS100 probe satellites can perform dynamic or static dimensional measurements, with the option of connecting to a large variety of either Jenoptik, or other commercially available sensors.
Measuring computers Sirius and Vega
- Sirius and Vega industrial computers can be combined with Tolaris Premium and Tolaris Expert evaluation soft ware, to offer flexible solutions that help control your production processes. They are designed for dimensional measurement analysis, as well as for encoder and joystick control.
Optical shaft measuring technology
-
The measuring systems of the Opticline optically scan rotationally symmetrical workpieces. They thus measure the shafts without contact and are suitable for partially or fully automated use, especially in the automotive industry, the production of turned and ground parts, and in medical technology. In a very short time, complex workpieces of various sizes are analyzed directly in industrial production. The Opticline measuring stations impress not only with their high measuring speed and precision, but also with their optimum ease of operation thanks to the "Tolaris Optic" measuring and evaluation software. Operator influence is almost completely eliminated at the Opticline measuring systems. All measurement results are documented and stored in an audit-proof manner. The Opticline thus ensures an efficient and controlled manufacturing process and guarantees production quality.
The technology of optical shaft metrology is constantly being further developed. Thanks to their robustness, Opticline measuring stations can be easily integrated into production lines and used for 100 Percent measurements. They are built modularly on a standardized platform and customized with additional features. For example, optical measurements can be supplemented by tactile sensor technology to produce a 3-D analysis. Opticline measuring stations are durable and virtually wear-free - it is not for nothing that Opticline products have been in demand on the market worldwide for more than 30 years.
Opticline CS
- Opticline CS series shaft measuring systems have been designed for production-related applications and offer a high degree of measuring performance and absolute precision from 2 μm in an extremely compact design.
Opticline C
- Opticline C series shaft measuring systems offer maximum gage repeatability and reproducibility from 1 μm. With different configurations, such as a high-precision C-axis or multi-sensor system, the performance capability can be customized to suit your requirements.
Opticline CA
- Thanks to their special open machine concept, the high-precision Opticline CA systems are ideal for PLC measuring stations with manual loading and automated production.
