Pneumatic Spindle Taper Gauges

Non-contact measuring with nozzles results in high accuracy and consistency of measuring results. The measuring range can be increased with the built-in dial indicator. This enables the gauge to be used during pre-machining of the taper. Measuring set with case includes nozzle plug gauge with dial indicator and 2 setting rings.

Application: Robotic Pneumatic End Effector for Manipulating HSK-A100 Tool Holders

Customer required an automated mechanism to be mounted on the end of a robot. To ensure reliable operation, numerous sensing and other features were implemented:
- Pneumatic cylinder stroke monitoring (ensures correct tool clamp)
- Fiber optic tool sensor (ensures proper tool seating)
- Backflow air sensor (ensures proper tool face contact when seated)
- Air purge on HSK face and taper (ensures surfaces are free of debris)

This unit was designed for HSK-A100, but the concept can be applied to all machine tool tapers designed for automatic tool change (other HSK sizes, Steep Taper, PSK/Capto, etc.)
