Research on measuring method of crankshaft based on servo control mode

In the conventional measure process of crankshaft, the width of Abbe probe is designed as more than double the eccentricity volume of crank. This even causes the decline of test accuracy due to the probe distortion. This paper proposes a type of servo control mode for measuring crankshaft based on the four-axis motion system. Abbe probe is integrated with Axis motion system. It feeds in a servo way. A mathematical model is developed to ensure the stable contact between probe and workpiece during moving. The results show that, the narrowed Abbe probe will move according to the journal position, thus ensuring a correct contact of probe and journal. By the method, the automatic detection of crankshaft parameters is achieved with high accuracy and efficiency.
