Measurement of Automobile Transmission Shaft

Background of the Application

The automobile transmission shaft must meet the requirements of low vibration and low noise in high speed. The shaft precision is strict, especially for those of the diameter difference, runout, roundness, cylindricity, and coaxiality. In the past, many measuring instruments such as micrometers, profilometers, roundness meters, and concentricity meters were commonly used in inspection. However, these probe-type tools require trained personnel to operate, resulting in high personnel training costs. The operation is time-taking and labor-intensive, which is not suitable for real-time measurement in the production line. They need to improve measurement efficiency and reduce defective products and customer returns.

Solution

The Precision Type Measuring Machine TIMI 40P/TIMI 100P is the first choice for the measurement of the transmission shaft’s outer diameter, grinding diameter difference, roundness, cylindricity , and coaxiality. TIMI measuring machine can measure shafts up to 600mm in length.

Features

Measurement precision of the outer diameter is up to the micron level.
Easy to detect 1µm grinding diameter difference in the process.
Four methods (LSC/MZC/MIC/MCC) to measure roundness in a sub-micron resolution.
Measure odd or even gear shafts, the max., min. and average outer diameters.
Measure the coaxiality of any two segments based on the central axis coordinate
Arbitrarily connect two shaft centers as the datum line, precisely measure the deflection of the third one.

Benefits

1. The machine has variety of measurement functions, no need to use kinds of measuring tools at all.
2. Press a button to automatically measure full dimension following the pre-built script.
3. Complete a full- dimension measurement of an automobile transmission shaft in tens of seconds.
4. Real-time measurement makes it very suitable for inspection in the floor shop.
5. Simple operation, easy maintenance, and low equipment investment.
