Up to 46 % Savings in Operating Costs
Klingelnberg follows the “Done-In-One” principle. A Klingelnberg P-machine is capable of fast measurement of dimension, form, contour and surface roughness in one setup and one automated cycle. This reduces the investment and helps to reduce the operating cost by an average 46%, compared to current practices in bearing industry. On top, the measuring machines of the Klingelnberg P-Series keep the necessary accuracy even on the shop floor, saving the air conditioning costs and bringing the measuring machine really close to production. By removing the need to install multiple machines, customer benefits additionally from saving expensive factory space.

Done-In-One Measurement of Roller Bearings
Generating the measuring program with the Klingelnberg “Shaft Software” is an easy task. For roller bearings an automatic measuring cycle generation based on a parametric description of roller bearings is available. Thus the measuring program for one bearing type only needs to be generated once. By reading in the parameters from a data source the measuring cycle for different sizes of this bearing type are automatically generated without any user interaction. An example of different bearing sizes with the parametric measurement program generation is shown in Figure 3.
