IN OUR VIEW, FORM DEVIATION IS NOT A QUESTION

OF PERCEPTION. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE MARFORM

To ensure problem-free functioning and durability of a workpiece, the key factors are its dimensions and, above all , its form.

Requirements in terms of roundness, flatness, straightness, coaxiality or run-out - particularly when it comes to axis-symmetri-

cal workpieces - are becoming increasingly strict . These requirements can only be reliably tested and met using high-precision

formtesters optimized for this purpose. Whether you are dealing with fuel injection technology, microelectronics, precision

mechanics or medical technology, the key functional components are becoming ever smaller and ever more precise. To enable

the production department to take advantage of the specified tolerances, measuring uncertainty must be kept as low as possi-

ble. MarForm helps you to reduce process costs without increasing testing costs thanks to stable, innovative instruments with

the highest possible level of automation, flexibility and precision. MarForm offers the ideal combination for all requirements.

The demands placed on a form measuring instrument are as varied as those for workpieces and measuring tasks. There are

several things that have to be taken into consideration when selecting the right instrument: Which measuring axes are required

and in what length and precision? Are there particular requirements in terms of positioning accuracy, e.g. for particularly small

workpieces, or in terms of the workpiece mount and probe arm geometry? Does the measuring instrument need to minimize

the influence of the operator through a high level of automation? Ultimately, the key criterion is that all measurements can be

performed and documented simply, cost-effectively and reproducibly. The ideal MMQ is available for every task!

MarForm MMQ 44. Piston Software

Universal form and positional testing combined with monitoring of tolerance bands

With the FORM-PC, MMQ 44 offers a software option for testingengine pistons. Because the tolerance bands can be freely definedif required, the Piston software option can also be used for measurements on other workpieces with a convex form.Applications over and above engine pistons include the tracks onthe inner and outer rings of cylindrical roller bearings or the longitudinal profile of cylindrical roll bodies.

Range of functions offered by software optionThis option available on top of the standard software package enables you to perform the most common measuring and evaluation tasks on engine pistons.

• Determining the pin bore axis and the offset• Determining the position of the main oval axis in absolute terms

and relative to the pin bore axis• Determining ovals (polar tolerance band evaluation)• Determining ovality and double ovality if applicable• Determining meridians• Setting tolerances of meridians (straight-line tolerance band

evaluation)

The standard measurement and evaluation options of the FORM-PC also enable you to perform measurements and evaluations onthe following:• Piston dome• Groove flanks• Groove bases• Pin bore

Groove flank and groove base measurements require precise coordination of the probe arm and stylus ball geometry and

measurements in the pin bore require coordination of the clampwith the piston geometry.Specially adapted probe arms and probe arm sets are available forpiston measurement.

Longitudinal profile of cylindrical roll bodiesThe FORM-PC and the new software option enable you to evaluate longitudinal profiles of cylindrical roll bodies along approximately 2/3 of their length. In terms of construction, the profiles are defined such that three lengths L1, L2 and L3 are defined starting from the largest diameter of the cylinder. A tolerance band within which the measuring point must move (H1 max., H1 min. / H2 max., H2 min. / H3 max., H3 min.) is assigned to each of the three measuring points. The tolerancescover a range from 0 µm to 50 µm and are provided in table form.The 'Create straight-line piston tolerance band' function means that you do not have to make new entries for repeat measurements. This function stores the tolerance values by type in a database of the FORM-PC. This is followed by testing of theroll body's longitudinal profile using one or more generating linemeasurements.

Significant expansion of range of functionsThe Piston software considerably expands the spectrum of workpiece geometries that can be fully measured with MahrFormtesters and FORM-PC. Many other similar applications overand above piston-specific measuring tasks can also be catered for.The familiar Windows user interface and the structure of the pistonmeasurement window which is designed on the same lines as theother teach-in programming tools mean that users quickly get togrips with the system, thus ensuring fast and effective utilization ofthe new function.

Probe T2W

The optimum solution using accessories

The inductive T2W probe is a universal device. The fact that theprobe arm can be moved in a range of 180° and that there are avariety of clamping possibilities for the probe means that measure-ments can also be performed on difficult to access areas. You cancombine easily exchangeable probe arms with a variety of styli inorder to adapt the probe to the relevant measuring tasks or work-pieces.

Motor-driven T7W probe

The T7W probe is fitted with a motor-driven rotational axis. Itmakes it possible to move the probe arm gradually to the desiredcontacting position. This means that measurements can be per-formed on cylindrical surfaces and end faces. As a zero position probe, the T7W is also able to automatically switch between internal and external measurements or between end face measurements from top to bottom without operator intervention.Fully automatic measurement processes on complex workpiecescan be carried out without operator intervention. The probe arms of the T7W are exchangeable. Its motor-driven rotational axis enables the construction of "multi-point probe arms" - i.e. probearms with a variety of contacting elements - making it possible toswitch between different stylus ball geometries within a singlemeasurement run.

You only need to clamp your test items once and start the measuring program - the Primar runs through all the test

parameters completely automatically. The system could not be more efficient because no time is lost changing setups and trans-

porting test items from one test machine to another. Primar offers form, gearwheel and 3D features in a single clamping

operation. The broad range of applications not only saves you money in terms of investment and maintenance, but also saves

you time.

Primar MX 4

Features

The Primar dynamically scans axis-symmetrical workpieces for form and positional deviations. It provides µm-accurate measuringdata quickly for your production needs.

When used with the CNC tilting and centering table, the Primar isable to perform true form measurements. With this type ofmeasurement, only one axis (the high-precision C spindle) is movedto record the data, thus minimizing the measuring uncertainty.Thousands of 3D measurement values are recorded. As a result ofprior CNC-controlled tilting and leveling to align the workpiece, themeasurement is completely without error in accordance with theAbbe principle.

The four measuring axes of the Primar are designed such thateven large and heavy workpieces can be measured.

• X-axis 300 mm/11.8 “• Y-axis 600 mm/23.6 “• Z-axis 700 mm/27.6 “

The easily accessible turntable is generously proportioned andmakes it easy to load test items.

The Primar enables you to perform a wide range of measuringtasks more cost-efficiently than ever before. It is the first unit capable of checking eccentric parts with formtester accuracy. This is thanks to easy-to-use family programs for gears, geared tools, bevel gears, camshafts, crankshafts, pistons and connecting rods or customized measuring programs developed specifically for yourworkpiece.

The Primar can be used in the following applications:• Mechanical and electrical engineering: Gearwheels, rotors,

spindles, ball bearing cages, spur gear shafts, involute gear teeth, hollow shafts with internal toothing, pinion shafts, planetary gears, ring gears, control valves, tappets, camshafts, connecting rods

Description

Family program for crankshafts

When used in combination with an XXL centering and tilting table on the C-axis, Primar isa high-performance measuring station for crank-shafts. Form, position and 3D features can be measured in a single clamping operation. The family program offers a large number of features at main and stroke bearings and at theflange and journal of the crankshaft. The formfeatures on the workpiece are always measuredin formtester mode. This ensures maximum accuracy for the results. To perform the measurements, the main and stroke bearings areautomatically aligned with the C-axis of the measuring instrument. The large number of measuring points provides the basis for the highquality of the measurement results. This results inhigh-precision workpiece axes.

Crankshafts

Camshafts

measuring station for camshafts and the familyprogram offers everything you will need for fast,efficient and comprehensive camshaft measure-ment. The nominal cam form can be imported as a file. The probe moves along this nominalcam contour. The distance between the measuring points is kept constant. This meansthat you get a detailed view of your cam profileswith your desired tolerance bands.

Pistons

Connecting rods

There are also application programs for the following:• Connecting rods• Engine blocks• Cylinder heads• Other workpieces

Family program for camshaftsTo use the family program for camshafts, youneed both a Formtester that records the featuresat the bearing points and, in order to measure the cam form, a continuous-path control systemin combination with low contacting forces andrecording of as many measuring points as possible. The Primar offers a simple solution toboth these tasks. The combination of the

Family program for pistonsThe family program makes the Primar the idealmeasuring station for pistons. The workpiece isaligned with the piston bore. Ovality, meridianform, diameter, the pin bore of the piston and the grooves are measured in the workpiece coordinate system. The measurements are output in piston-specific records as a graphic and as results tables.

Family program for connecting rodsWhen used in combination with the XXL cente-ring and tilting table, the Primar can be utilized to its full benefit with this workpiece. The work-piece is measured in its entirety. The large andsmall eyes are positioned automatically into the C machine axis and all the form features are measured in form mode with maximum precision. Further features such as diameter,distance, thickness and the set of teeth are measured according to the drawing requirements in the same clamping operation.Primar is thus able to perform an evaluation ofthe entire workpiece in a single clamping operation and offers unique determination ofdatum elements. The evaluation results are available in tabular and graphic form. The universal clamp enables you to quickly change to other conrod types by a simple adjustment of the workpiece supports.
