Balance Systems' Top Gauge Absolute (TGA) helps to improve precision and efficiency in manufacturing processes through an accurate measuring of workpiece diameter. It combines a Balance Systems TG200 gauge head with state-of-the-art mechatronic solutions for a quick measuring process and high accuracy. It measures all diameters within its measurement range, with pre/in/post-process cycle, with no need to reset the single diameter.
Features include:
- Two simultaneous measuring processes; availability in combination with the measurement of the axial position (active or passive flagging)
- 32 part programs
- Measuring of smooth and interrupted surfaces
- In-process roundness and shape analysis
- Six commands to control the infeed
- Thermal compensation
- Remote programming
Benefits of the system:
- Allows productions to be stable and consistent and with tight tolerances
- Compensates the grinding wheel wear
- Increases productivity
- Can be implemented both on new and existing machines in the field (retrofitting)
- Easy to use
- Does not require surveillance

grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
- grinding wheel
grinding wheel
Wheel formed from abrasive material mixed in a suitable matrix. Takes a variety of shapes but falls into two basic categories: one that cuts on its periphery, as in reciprocating grinding, and one that cuts on its side or face, as in tool and cutter grinding.
