Lobex™: A Revolutionary Lobing-Detection Solution |
||||||
|
Lobing is deviation from roundness on a centerless ground part—an issue for anyone who produces or uses centerless-ground product. LaserLinc’s Lobex Lobing Detection System is a real-time tool for detection and elimination of lobing problems. The system can identify 3-, 5-, 7-, 9- or 11-lobing on centerless ground products as they exit a grinder. The system can also be used for offline inspection. A Lobex system provides repeatable and reproducible data, unlike testing with tri-mikes, which is inconsistent and prone to user-error. The Lobex software can also identify higher-frequency lobing. Tri-mikes under-report 5-lobing, and compounding the error, 5-lobing in a product masks tri-lobing. Using a Lobex system, an operator can identify lobing as it begins and make the necessary adjustments to the grinder to bring the part back into spec. The Lobex system combines a high-speed 3-axis laser scan micrometer with a proprietary software package. The software package includes polar charts, trend charts, data logging, alarms, SPC, customizable reports, and LaserLinc’s support. To prove what the Lobex system can do, interested parties can send a sample for a free test. Please go to laserlinc.com/lobex.html to start the process. All LaserLinc laser scan micrometers link—via the TLAser400™ micrometer interface card—to a PC running Total Vu™ software. Total Vu software is LaserLinc's sophisticated, yet operator-friendly, measurement/data processing package, which runs on any Windows-based PC, providing in-process tolerance checking, trending, SPC, feedback control, data logging, recipes, and other features.
