KNM 2X | 4X | 6X | 9X

The KNM 2X / 4X / 6X / 9X analytical measuring machines are designed for high-precision measurements of gears, gear tools and rotationally symmetric workpieces. All guides and base plates made of granite are extremely stable in the long-term and have identically low expansion coefficients. Air bearings with emergency operation properties ensure perfect and wear-free guides without short-term errors. Air spring elements underneath the base plates safely shield from jolts and vibrations. Separate bases are not required. Non-ferrous linear and torque motors of the rotary tables ensure ultimate position precisions and path accuracy. Despite the compact design, spacious travel ranges ensure a tangential generating motion towards the base circle for any profile. Based on the requirements, different scanning touch probe systems can be used. The control cabinet can be arranged freely.

KNM X
According to customer-specific requirements, the KNM X se-ries can be either designed as a stationary machine for medium and larger sized gears, or as a docking station. For this purpo-se, any size of the machine base can be combined with a ro-tary table and a transportable 3-axes measuring device. The KNM X machines boast high-precision mechanics with opti-mal accessibility, laser-based safety equipment, large bearing clearances and generously dimensioned guiding cross-sections. Linear motors are used in all linear axes. High-precision rota-ry tables with air or hydrostatic bearing (diameter of 500 to 1,800 mm) feature direct drives / through-holes. Controlled air spring elements underneath the base plates safely shield from jolts and vibrations. No special foundations are required. The use of drives close to the centre of gravity ensures a low level of dynamic distortions.

KNM P
The equipment of the KNM P series has been optimally adap-ted directly to the production machine according to the specific customer requirements regarding the autonomous measurement of gears, ring-shaped workpieces such as bearing rings, housings etc. The combination of base plate and rotary table in a customi-sed design (docking station) forms a full-featured 4-axis measu-ring device. Measurements can even be carried out without rota-ry table directly in the workshop area. In the KNM P machines, specially designed high-precision mechanics add to optimal ac-cessibility with state-of-the-art drive technology (linear motors). The CNC-controlled 3-axis structure allows for checking all gear parameters or general workpiece profiles. Arbitrary workpiece diameters and easy transport are especially worth emphasising. The measuring equipment is placed on a sturdy base connected directly to the production machine or foundation.
