• Modular design for all connecting-rod designs
• Fully automatic operating sequence
• Integrated, fast in-line transport
• Linking with a production line
• High accuracy through digital measured value processing and numerically-controlled correction procedure

Range of application

Measurement of the weight of rotating and oscillating parts or the absolute weight of machined connecting-rods for internal combustion engines. Controlled weight correction at the prepared correction pads on the small-end and big-end. Weight correction is usually followed by fineboring.
Application of the machine in largevolume production, interfaced with the production line.

Design

Transfer machine with automatic operating sequence. Modular machine construction, thus optimally adaptable to the task. Arrangement of the stations in an in-line direction with all stations covered by an electro-mechanical lift and carry transfer for transport of the connecting rods. Welded machine base with lateral bases supporting the milling units, prepared for removal of the chips by a chip-conveyor or underfloor extractor. Electromechanical, numerically controlled milling unit and digital operating tandem weighers. Microprocessor-controlled measuring equipment for acquisition of the measured values and processing; machine PLC control with fault diagnosis.
