Have you ever tried to measure the runout of a workpiece with a contact displacement sensor but struggled to get consistent repeatable results? Today's IdeaNote: IN Motion application example may help provide an idea of how to create an effective solution.
To start with, make sure your workpiece is properly supported and won't slide, ensuring the only measurement taken is the radial runout of the piece. One way this can be done is using V-blocks as the primary axis support, preventing lateral displacement, and with a pair of roller bearings, which allows for rotation while locking it in place vertically. The roller bearing can be further secured using toggle clamps with spring-loaded heads.
Now that your workpiece is sufficiently secured, the next step is to setup a system to accurately take measurements from specific positions along the length of the workpiece, ensuring uniform circularity. With the sensor fixed in a mounting block, it can be attached to linear guides to allow for smooth motion directly perpendicular to the workpiece. The base of the linear guide can be set into pre-determined increments using a locating pin for easy repeatable positioning, and then locked into place using a nylon-tipped clamp screw. With your basic assembly completed, all that's left to do is record your measurements!
MISUMI offers several of the components used in this IdeaNote: IN Motion example, with many choices available for almost any situation.
MISUMI's linear guides come in a wide variety of profile sizes and block types, with rail lengths configurable down to the millimeter, up to nearly 2 meters in length. For specific application environment concerns, options are available for stainless steel linear guides, double-sealed dust-proof slides, and low temperature black chrome plating for improved corrosion resistance.
While this example uses locating pins in a very simple manner, more complex locating applications can be satisfied by MISUMI's broad selection. MISUMI offers various materials to choose from, like stainless steel, tool steel, or resin, and surface finishes like chrome plating and black oxide to fit your particular scenario. Shank types for different mounting methods and head shapes are available as well, like diamond or round, and sizing the dimensions can range from an easy selection of the head diameter, to configuring almost every length, diameter, and angle.
Finally, in addition to linear guides and locating pins, MISUMI has an extensive selection of other factory automation components to choose from, giving you the convenience of a one-stop shop, while providing the freedom to tailor parts to your design.
If this has inspired you to use simple components in creative ways, come back next time for another IdeaNote: IN Motion video, and check out our entire application library.
