INOVA, the newest addition to the Wenzel Series of gear measuring machines is designed to utilize multiple scanning measuring probes including one for grind burn detection.
Wenzel Gear Tec displayed their new compact INOVA gear measuring machine for the first time at the Control Exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany in May, 2009.
INOVA is a completely new gear measuring machine design where the Z-axis with integral rotary table are positioned independently from the X and Y-axes. In addition, highly-accurate servo drives are used for all linear axes to provide a very high level of dynamic performance. Like all Wenzel CMMs and gear measuring machines (GMMs), Impala black granite is used for the guideways. An integrated pneumatic vibration dampening system isolates the machine base, eliminating the need for any special foundation.
The INOVA has the capability of using multiple scanning sensors including probes for detecting grind burn. A probe change rack feature has an integral protective cover insures the probes and sensors are organized and protected from dirt and damage.
