Geometric control of a secondary shaft
Geometric Inspection and Machining of a Shaft
A series of metrology operations was carried out on a crusher shaft, as part of a full inspection and follow-up process before and after corrective machining. These operations were conducted on-site, with the aim of recording the shaft’s initial geometric condition, performing targeted machining, and validating the final dimensions.
Measurements were conducted using a laser tracker, based on a reference system adapted to the shaft’s cylindrical geometry. Thermal conditions were taken into account, with value corrections applied to a standard reference temperature. A specialized metrology software was used to guide the measurement process and optimize data processing.
The intervention included several key stages:
Initial inspection of the shaft cylinders, distinguishing between previously machined and raw areas,
Machining setup, including the installation of a support ring for machine guides,
Orbital machining of the targeted surface,
And finally, a geometric validation check post-machining.
This comprehensive approach ensured restoration in compliance with specifications, providing rigorous dimensional traceability throughout all stages of the process—before, during, and after the intervention.
