Fissure and Surface Testing Machine for Cylindrical Parts
Task
Rolls of different sizes need to be tested for cracks and surface errors on the sheath surface. Despite the high flow rate, targeted sorting is necessary to avoid ‘pseudo scrap’. As the rolls do not have bevels and radii in this processing state, specific separation and secure testing time switching are necessary.
Process
The cylinder rolls are fed into the system in a row one behind each other on the customer’s conveyor belt, and are then handed over to the test path through a hose section. The two drive transport roll pairs allow separation of the rolls and ensure they rotate when moved along the test path. In combination with the two movements, there is a spiral-shaped covering test track for surface testing (crack test and optical test) of the cylinder sheath surface. Thanks to the position of the sorting flaps, the parts are divided into ‘conforming’ parts, ‘parts with optical faults’ and ‘parts that did not pass the crack test’.
Test method:
Crack test according to the eddy current method, dynamic,
Option: Optical surface testing
