GRINDLINE
The on-line measurement
and automatic grinder regulation
GRINDLINE is a highly accurate and extremely flexible laser measurement system, designed specifically for measuring the diameter of parts finished by through-feed or plunge centreless grinders; it is ideal for 100% on-line control and for real-time adjustment of the grinder.

Our performanceGRINDLINE is a Laser System designed to control the diameters of ground parts, machined by through-feed or plunge centreless grinders, such as:
|
- It works in through-feed, installed at the output of the machine, wthout having to stop the components.
- Automatic shape recognition of ground parts: Grindline software ignores all shape irregularities that might otherwise compromise the result of measurement.
- It gauges up to 10 different diameters on components ground by plunge type grinders.
- It measures diameter and taper on parts ground by through-feed machines.
- It checks tolerances and provides signals to reject out-of-tolerance pieces.
- It performs automatic machine regulation, to compensate the wearing of the grinding wheel.
- Detailed statistical reports are available: the recorded data can be processed in real time or down-loaded to a remote computer.

Your Benefits
- Zero-defect production: the 100% inspection allows out-of-tolerance parts to be detected and sorted, avoiding any risk of rejects or later complaints.
- Labour savings: the unsupervised automatic control makes lighter work for the grinder operating staff.
- Reduction of scrap: the real time grinder regulation prevents machining any out-of-tolerance parts.
- Quality Certification: the on-line inspection makes random sample checks redundant and allows the printing of detailed reports to prove Product Quality and Process Capability.
Why Aeroel?
- Excellent flexibility: thanks to its wide measuring range (40 or 80 mm) and to the exclusive data processing software, the system enables gauging of a wide number of diameters and types of components without specific dedication.
- Through-feed capability: the non-contact laser operating principle enables inspection without having to stop or slow-down the component.
- High precision: a patented self-calibration device guarantees permanent gauge accuracy with no re-mastering required.
- It is insensitive to ambient temperature changes: the self-calibration device automatically compensates any drift due to room temperature changes, making the gauge ideal for use in the workshop environment.
- High gauging speed: getting an excellent repeatability in a short measuring time makes the on-line application consistent with high production rates.
- Turn-key solutions: Aeroel supplies a wide range of accessories for cleaning and moving the part, assuring a high overall system performance.
- Competitive price: the through-feed gauging doesn’ t involve complicated and costly handling devices, making the cost/benefits ratio even more favourable.
- Know-how and service: Aeroel provides qualified and efficient technical service, thanks to their unmatched experience in applying laser technology on centreless grinders.
- 3 years guarantee: the optical gauging avoids all wearing and adjusting problems associated with touch probes; the solid state laser source warrants long operational life.
- Made in Europe: GRINDLINE complies with the high quality and safety standards set by the European Union.
