APPARATUS FOR INSPECTING MACHINED BORES

摘要

A gauging machine for inspecting bore diameters of a workpiece includes a reference fixture, a first wide range bore gauge arranged on a first three-dimensional positioning apparatus to facilitate inspection of a first set of bores aligned along parallel axes, and a second wide range bore gauge arranged on a second three-dimensional positioning apparatus to facilitate inspection of one bore or a plurality of bores aligned along parallel axes. The gauging machine facilitates inspection of bores on a plurality of different workpieces having different overall dimensions, a different number of bores, different positioning of bores, and/or different size bores, without requiring retooling of the gauging machine.

1. A gauging machine for checking bore dimensions of a workpiece, comprising:
a reference fixture onto which a workpiece can be mounted; a first bore gauge mounted on a first three-dimensional positioning apparatus and arranged to inspect one bore having a first axis or a plurality of bores aligned along a first set of parallel axes; and a second bore gauge mounted on a second three-dimensional positioning apparatus and arranged to inspect one bore having a second axis that is not parallel with the first axis or the first set of parallel axes, or a plurality of bores aligned along a second set of parallel axes which are not parallel with the first axis or first set of parallel axes; wherein the reference fixture, first three-dimensional positioning apparatus, and second three-dimensional positioning apparatus are arranged to facilitate inspection of the bores of a workpiece that is mounted on the reference fixture.
