Large Capacity Roundness

Taylor Hobson's large capacity roundness range of instruments provide measurement of components such as large diameter bearings or non rotational symmetric components such as engine blocks and other powertrain components. Despite their size and capacity these systems can measure with a degree of accuracy normally associated with laboratory type equipment.

Talyrond 450 Roundness Cylindricity systems
Talyrond 365/385 XL Roundness Cylindricity systems

Talyrond 450 Designed for the powertrain and machine tool industries this instrument utilises a rotating gauge head mounted on a vertical straightness unit, the rotating head allows manufacturers to measure roundness of prismatic or non rotationally symmetric components such as engine blocks, crankshafts,cylinder heads and many more. The solid cast iron base frame and column surround ensure stability during measurement while the high precision spindle and vertical straightness unit ensure repeatable and reliable measurement of roundness, cylindricity and straightness.

A high load capacity X,Y table with fully automated centre and level ensures precise set up and repeatability between operators. The entire system is completely automated utilising Taylor Hobson's Ultra software, this software has many features ensuring measurement and analysis to national and international standards.

• Fully Automated Centre and level capability
• 1000kg load X,Y table with high accuracy position control
• High accuracy spindle with large load capacity for special deep bore drop arms
• Straightness, parallelism and cylindricity measurement up to 1.5 metres
• Column heights of up to 2000mm
• Windows based Ultra software with measurement traceable to national and international standards

Talyrond 365/385 XL These systems are extremely popular in the measurement of lage diameter bearings and non-rotationally symmetric components. The system is based around Taylor Hobson's popular Talyrond 365 range and utilises a frictionless air bearing spindle and high accuracy column with adjustable positioning to allow measurement of bearings up to 1 meter in diameter. The system has features such as fully automated centre and level and automatic gauge calibration, these features greatly reduce measurement and set up time thus increasing throughput.

The systems come in two types, either with fully automated arm attitude/orientation or a manually operated version, in both cases these patented mechanisms provide access to the most difficult of components.

• Fully automated centre and level capability with radial follow mode
• Automatic gauge calibration
• Patented arm attitude/orientation mechanism with choice of automated or manual
• Vertical straightness units of up to 900mm
• Large diameter range with adjustable column and 300mm radial arm
• Windows based Ultra software with measurement traceable to national and international standards
