Cylinder heads and blocks

Overview
Measurement of roundness and surface finish of prismatic components such as cylinder heads and blocks can pose a problem for traditional measurement instruments. Checking alignment and concentricity of long narrow bores such as cam and crankbores or measuring the angle of valve guides with respect to valve bores can all be achieved with the right instrument.

Concentricity of valve guides to valve seats, alignment of Cam and Crank bores, or cylindricity and straightness of cylinder liners along with other geometrical tolerances can all be assessed utilising Taylor Hobson’s range of roundness measuring instruments as detailed in the Talyrond links below.

Whether the surface is ground, turned, milled, plateau honed etc or whether its form is radial, angled, straight. The many different types of surface associated with engine blocks and heads warrant equipment with high versatility to cover all aspects of analysis as detailed in the Form Talysurf links below.

Form Talysurf Inductive Systems
For accurate measurement of roughness, waviness and form of many features on cylinder heads and blocks.

Form Talysurf PGI Measurement Systems
Provides large gauge range/high resolution roughness,waviness and form measurement on engine blocks and heads.

Talyseries Roughness
Robust dedicated equipment allowing simple and fast surface analysis by non-specialist staff.

Talyrond 450
with rotating gauge head, large capacity worktable and tall column is especially suited to the measurement of non-symmetrical components such as cylinder blocks and heads.

Talyseries Roundness
Dedicated equipment consisting of a rotating spindle with multi-gauging providing fast cylinder bore measurement in a single rotation by non specialist staff.

Vision System
For measurement of the cross hatching on a plateau honed surfaces.
