The AXICORD principle:
To measure radial and axial runout in respect to the thread axis, that axis must be determined correctly and repeatably. The AXICORD principle is based on a special, slightly tapered thread. The AXICORD thread plug gauges and ring gauges are screwed onto the workpiece. The pairing results in a very good fit on the thread axis, which can be used to measure the alignment of the thread.
Thread Coordinate Measuring Mandrels
As an aid in determining the thread axis, e.g. with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or optical measuring instruments.
Handheld Radial and Axial Runout Measuring Instruments
AXICORD hand-held measuring instruments are suitable for quick measurement directly at the machine. Depending on the measuring task, the instruments are designed differently, but are always equipped with the AXICORD thread for holding the workpiece.
Radial and Axial Runout Fixtures
As a bench-top instrument, the measuring instruments are practical for series measurement of smaller test pieces. They can be equipped with a digital display for forwarding the measurement results to an interface. To achieve the best measurement results, the bench-top instruments can be equipped with a motorised drive.
Universal Measuring Bench
TESTICORD is a universally usable measuring table. It has spring-mounted centre supports and a slide running parallel to the workpiece axis. TESTICORD is particularly suitable for measuring gauges, taps, milling cutters, reamers etc. Extensive accessories allow adaptation to different measuring tasks.
