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.
