Product Overview
The AKIRA Engine Block Liner Bore Multigauging Station is a specialized multi-gauging metrology system engineered to inspect cylinder liner bores across multiple planes simultaneously. Utilizes a suspended 12-jet special air plug gauge, special 3-level master setting rings, and dual 3-channel tri-colour displays to check X and Y axes across 3 levels in a single ergonomic stroke.
Technical Definition & Operating Principle
The engine block and cylinder liner multigauging station is a turnkey automated inspection system designed for simultaneous multi-plane bore measurement in automotive manufacturing. Engineered to measure cylinder bore diameter, ovality, and taper across three to four distinct depths simultaneously, the station eliminates operator subjectivity and reduces inspection cycle times to under 15 seconds per block. Equipped with multi-channel pneumatic air gauging spindles and electronic inductive probes, each cylinder is evaluated along orthogonal X and Y axes. Measurement telemetry is processed by multi-channel tri-colour digital displays or integrated IPC touchscreens, providing instant Accept, Rework, or Reject verdicts. Standard RS-232, Ethernet/IP, and 24V PLC relay interfaces allow direct integration into automated conveyor transfer lines and robotic loading cells.
