Precise measurements for gearboxes

Jiangyin Hongguan Machinery Co., Ltd. has introduced the LHRT 1512 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with rotary table in cooperation with WENZEL . This innovative solution combines gear measurement and coordinate measurement in a single machine and sets a new standard for quality improvement in the gear industry.

As essential components in mechanical engineering, the quality of gearboxes directly influences the performance and service life of the entire equipment. The requirements for their inspection are correspondingly high, as even the smallest errors can have serious consequences. Traditional measuring methods often reach their limits in terms of precision and efficiency. Hongguan Machinery has risen to this challenge and continuously optimized both its technical expertise and its quality assurance system. The German precision equipment, including a tooth flank grinding machine and the coordinate measuring machine imported from WENZEL , forms the foundation for Hongguan Machinery's outstanding quality.

With this in mind, Hongguan Machinery decided to collaborate with WENZEL and implemented the LH RT 1512 CMM, which is equipped with a high-precision air bearing table. This technology ensures exceptional measurement accuracy and stability. Thanks to the high measuring speed and precise results, Hongguan Machinery can record the product parameters quickly and accurately, ensuring that the gearboxes produced meet the high standards and strict requirements of customers.

As part of the selection process, Hongguan Machinery comprehensively evaluated several renowned companies. WENZEL impressed with its outstanding functionality, precision, excellent service and convincing price-performance ratio. The introduction of WENZEL coordinate measuring technology not only solved the problem of long inspection cycles and poor adherence to deadlines, but also significantly increased inspection efficiency and optimized process quality.

The introduction of WENZEL coordinate measuring technology has significantly advanced Hongguan Machinery in the gearbox sector and solved numerous complex measurement problems. Before the introduction of WENZEL LHRT CMM , products had to be sent to the customer for inspection, resulting in long lead times and delays in the production schedule. This was a significant obstacle to the goal of ensuring highly efficient and high-quality production.

The WENZEL LHRT CMM enables precise 4-axis measurements of rotating parts as well as reliable measurements of conventional components. This allows Hongguan Machinery to perform multiple measurements with just one workpiece clamping, which significantly increases measurement accuracy and efficiency. For example, large gears that require lifting tools for loading and unloading previously had to be measured using two separate machines. This led to numerous unnecessary work steps and reduced measuring performance. The new measuring machine from WENZEL makes it possible to carry out both form and position tolerances as well as gear measurements in the same coordinate system. This increases measuring accuracy, reduces errors and increases efficiency. In addition, the use of a single machine saves costs for acquisition, operation and maintenance.

The successful implementation of the WENZEL CMM brought significant benefits to Hongguan Machinery:

Efficient measurements

One machine supports both the measurement of form and position tolerances as well as gear measurement, which saves labor and time.

‍
Precise measurements‍

A single clamping of the workpiece enables multiple measurements. The air bearing table ensures maximum accuracy and improves product quality.

‍
Cost savings‍

The reduction in machine requirements and maintenance costs increases the company's profitability.

In today's fast-paced world, service plays a crucial role. WENZEL Hongguan Machinery offers not only first-class products, but also professional and prompt service, which strengthens customer trust and loyalty. This customer-oriented service philosophy is the key to WENZEL's success in the highly competitive market. Quality Manager Cheng Chen emphasizes: "The professional support from the WENZEL team in the event of technical problems has enabled us to keep our production line running efficiently at all times, significantly increasing production efficiency and product quality." The WENZEL machine is far more than just a measuring device; it is a decisive guarantor of high-quality production at Hongguan Machinery.

Looking to the future, Cheng Chen has great expectations for WENZEL: "I am convinced that WENZEL will continue to expand its technological advantages to provide even better and more efficient inspection solutions for Hongguan Machinery. At the same time, I look forward to further deepening the cooperation between Hongguan Machinery and WENZEL to jointly promote technological progress and quality improvement in the machinery manufacturing industry."
