Capability

Measured in microns,
not in promises.

Every line is closed-loop. Marposs active gauging reads the workpiece during grinding, the control compensates, and the next part starts from a corrected datum — which is how a P4 class stays a P4 class at volume.

Closed loop

Correct the datum, not the scrap.

In-process gauging measures the part while it is still in the machine. The control compares that figure with the drawing, shifts the wheel feed and starts the next part from the corrected datum. The tolerance band is held by the machine, and checked again on the finished part.

  • Marposs active gaugingItaly — in-process measurement during grinding.
  • FANUC controlJapan — CNC control on the grinding and turning lines.
  • Mitsubishi drivesJapan — drive and control for the automated assembly cells.
  • Final inspectionBore, OD, width, runout and clearance, measured on the finished part.

Six stages, one flow

Material to packed box
01 · Material controlChemical composition checked against the certificate, metallographic analysis on each heat, hardness before the first cut.
02 · ForgingPrecision forging with spheroidise annealing, so the grain structure is right before machining.
03 · TurningCNC turning with dimensional control at the machine; blanks are checked before heat treatment.
04 · Heat treatmentQuench and temper with hardness control per batch; distortion measured after tempering.
05 · GrindingPrecision grinding with in-line measurement and closed-loop compensation on the active gauge.
06 · Assembly & testCage and roller set assembly, clearance or preload set to drawing, noise and runout test before packing.
