Earing measuring instrument 126 Plus

Ear measuring instrument, for cups of 15 – 50 mm diameter, max. 100 mm cup height The Model 126 Plus ear measuring instrument is used to make axial measurements of deep-draw cups and can blanks. The typical standards here are DIN EN 1669 and ISO 11531. The device consists of a rotary table, a jaw chuck and a vertical measuring head (with measuring roller and length measuring probe). A jaw chuck secures and centers the cup. The measuring head can be adjusted to fit different sample diameters and heights. During one revolution of the rotary table, the measuring head records the shape of the cup edge (the so-called unevenness). Purpose and Application The Ear Measuring Instrument,Model 126 Plus, is designed for the axial measurement of deep-drawn cups and raw cans. Typical standards are DIN EN 1669 and ISO 11531. Design The device consists of a turntable and a vertical gauge head with a roller. By a jaw chuck, the cup is centered and fixed. The gauge head can be positioned to different cups heights and diameters. While revolving around its own axis, the gauge head is measuring the shape of the cup’s edge. This waveform of the cup’s edge is called earring. Measurement process The operator starts the measurement process by PC or directly at the device. Pneumatically activated, the gauge head will move towards the cup. The turntable will rotate by 360°. After completion, the measurement head will move to idle position. This facilitates a rapid cup exchange. All measurement results are displayed on a screen. Results can be archived as files. Export files can be created as .pdf and .txt. For MS Excel import, .txt files are pre-formatted.
