Large Capacity Roundness

Taylor Hobson's large capacity roundness range of instruments provide measurement of components such as large diameter bearings or non rotational symmetric components such as engine blocks and other powertrain components. Despite their size and capacity these systems can measure with a degree of accuracy normally associated with laboratory type equipment.

Talyrond 450

Designed for the powertrain and machine tool industries this instrument utilises a rotating gauge head mounted on a vertical straightness unit, the rotating head allows manufacturers to measure roundness of prismatic or non rotationally symmetric components such as engine blocks, crankshafts,cylinder heads and many more. The solid cast iron base frame and column surround ensure stability during measurement while the high precision spindle and vertical straightness unit ensure repeatable and reliable measurement of roundness, cylindricity and straightness. A high load capacity X,Y table with fully automated centre and level ensures precise set up and repeatability between operators. The entire system is completely automated utilising Taylor Hobson's Ultra software, this software has many features ensuring measurement and analysis to national and international standards.   

• Fully Automated Centre and level capability
• 1000kg load X,Y table with high accuracy position control
• High accuracy spindle with large load capacity for special deep bore drop arms
• Straightness, parallelism and cylindricity measurement up to 1.5 metres
• Column heights of up to 2000mm
• Windows based Ultra software with measurement traceable to national and international standards

Talyrond 440

This instrument utilises a high load capacity rotating table with fully automated centre and level ensuring fast and reliable part alignment. The vertical straightness unit is contained within a cast iron structure and consists of a precision ground column with up to 1500mm of straightness movement and measurement. The instruments load capacity and column height make it ideally suited for large crankshafts and precision spindles however its arm orientation mechanism and precision radial arm make it extremely versatile allowing measurement of both small to large components. The Instrument is completely automated and is driven by Taylor Hobson's intuitive and programmable Ultra software.

• Fully Automated Centre and level capability
• 225Kg High load capacity spindle with +/- 0.05um roundness uncertainty
• Straightness and cylindricity measurement up to 1.5 metres
• Fully Automated gauge attitude/orientation mechanism
• Windows based Ultra software with measurement traceable to national and international standards
  

Talyrond 365/385 XL

These systems are extremely popular in the measurement of lage diameter bearings and non-rotationally symmetric components. The system is based around Taylor Hobson's popular Talyrond 365 range and utilises a frictionless air bearing spindle and high accuracy column with adjustable positioning to allow measurement of bearings up to 1 meter in diameter. The system has features such as fully automated centre and level and automatic gauge calibration, these features greatly reduce measurement and set up time thus increasing throughput. The systems come in two types, either with fully automated arm attitude/orientation or a manually operated version, in both cases these patented mechanisms provide access to the most difficult of components. 

• Fully automated centre and level capability with radial follow mode
• Automatic gauge calibration
• Patented arm attitude/orientation mechanism with choice of automated or manual modes
• Vertical straightness units of up to 900mm
• Large diameter range with adjustable column and 300mm radial arm
• Windows based Ultra software with measurement traceable to national and international standards 

Talyrond 1600

The Talyrond 1600 is the most accurate system of its type, utilising an air bearing spindle with a rotating arm this instrument is unique in its capacity and accuracy. Components of up to 1000Kg with diameters of up to a considerable 1.6 metres can be measured yet still maintains accuracies normally associated with laboratory type equipment. This system is ideal for manufactures of large diameter bearings and gears such as those found in the wind turbine, mining and excavation industries. Like all Taylor Hobson's roundness systems the rotating arm of the Talyrond 1600 has been designed using Finite Element Analysis techniques, constructed from carbon fibre this arm can measure roundness from speeds of 0.2rpm to 6rpm. Despite the size of this system centering is fully automated while the sturdy base frame contains coarse and fine adjustment levelling mechanisms making set up fast and simple.

• Fully automated centering capability with targets to less than 0.8um
• High load capacity base frame with up to 1000kg load
• Carbon fibre radial arm with 1600mm diameter capability
• High precision air bearing spindle with +/- 0.1um roundness uncertainty
• Windows based Ultra software with full harmonic and velocity analysis capability
