In-Process

An operator friendly, temperature compensated gaging system for in-process OD grinding. Combines Albion’s proven BenchMark temperature compensated gaging amplifier with "swing down" in-process gage arm. Comes with LVDT, configurable temperature sensors that mount on the gaging arm, analog and digital display.

Gage more than diameters! This gaging system indicates run-out, chatter, and eccentricity. In addition, it can easily be modified to check multiple diameters, taper, interrupted diameters, widths between shoulders, widths over shoulders and shoulder to shoulder.

Now you can grind directly to final size. BenchMark will display size after eliminating growth caused by temperature. Dimensions are displayed as if workpiece and gaging system were constantly at a controlled 68°F/20°C. There’s no need to control temperatures or wait for parts to stabilize!

Detachable key pad is used for set up, programming and non-routine operations. All controls for regular shop floor use are mounted on BenchMark’s front panel.

DS-1  Workpiece sensor and conditioning board.

Sensor Part # 650301-D

Board Part # 860030

Diamond faced contact temperature sensor, highly durable, designed specifically for contact with rotating parts during machining operations. Can be mounted in a variety of positions to suit any application. Following is a response curve for Albion in-process sensors:

Conditioning board customized and scaled to your specification. (Indicate available power source or power supply preference.)

Part # 900116

Fits on gage head to sense local variations in temperature. Critical and often overlooked, gage heads are frequently very temperature sensitive.

Uses dedicated input channel on the DS-1 conditioning board (Part # 860030). No additional board required.

GageComp B Temperature Compensation system

Part # 900101

GageComp IP programmable Temperature Compensating Controller, available with enclosure, or as single board. Uses Albion’s proprietary software to compute and output net correction for workpiece, gage and calibration device (if used) in real time.

Complete with RS232 interface for host computer operational interface.

Can be programmed via host, or with GageComp B I/O programming unit.

Part # 900102

A separate portable programming unit used to program GageComp B. Built-in key pad and digital 2x16 character LCD to display all temperature readings and compensated and non-compensated displacements, is used to set up and diagnose the system.

Comes with connecting cable and communication software loaded.

Part # 900074-D

Complete Temperature Compensation system, including one each DS-1 and LG-1 sensor. Built-in user interface. User programmable. Albion’s proprietary software computes and outputs net correction for workpiece, gage and calibration device (if used) in real time.

Support: Training, characterization, Implementation Planning, Applications Engineering etc.
