Steering pinion geometry control device
Car steering pinion geometry checking device measures :
- Teeth space deviations
- Involute gearing profile checking in defined geometrical cut
- Gear helix angle checking through longitudinal tooth measuring
- Pinion body diameter measuring in several places, i.e. on non-geared pinion cylindrical part
The measuring conception and method:
Control measuring is carried out on horizontal semi-automatic measuring stand being controlled by AMS AC4 electronics equipped with a colour monitor.
Piece insertion is manually-operated, measuring probe movement and positioning is semi-automatic. Report printing, result measuring and archiving device is connected to AMS AC4 electronics.
According to achieved measuring results, checked pinions are automatically indicated as flawless, reparable and flawed.
