THRUVAR™ - Internal Diameter Grinding Process Monitoring Gauge Line

Description

The Thruvar range of products permits users to:

• measure internal diameters, even when they are difficult to access
• respect the available space inside the machine: the gauges are designed to be adapted inside the spindle
• reduce machine down time due to the rapid part changeover set-up system
• select from a wide variety of  solution configurations due to the vast range of gauges available
• configure applications for every type of requirement, and performance level, by selecting the appropriate electronic control unit;
• integrate the internal diameter measurement function into the global Marposs monitoring system (grinding wheel balancing, acoustic signals, art surface controls, statistical process monitoring)

Thruvar gauging heads  are designed to be housed inside the machine spindle and measure internal diameters during the part grinding process. The signals generated by the gauge are sent to an electronic control unit that enables the process control by sending outputs to the machine (i.e. grinding wheel progress, cutting speed control, etc.)

Some models also include a pneumatic retraction function, which guarantees the gauge is away from the part and that the measurement cycle is initiated and concluded in conditions of extreme safety. The Thruvar line of products also features Quick-set up technology, available on both the automatic and manual versions, which help to reduce set-up times following machine re-tooling (part changeover).

The gauges are manufactured using extremely resistant materials, both from a mechanical and chemical (corrosion) point of view. The choice of materials is the result of many years of experience in the market sector.
