Measurement Of Hatch Angle In Cylinder Liners/Engine Blocks

Vardhan SPM 4 is a specially designed computer interfaced incident light microscope to view and measure honing texture of grey iron cylinder bores of combustion engines. The honing texture consists of two sets of approximately parallel, stochastically placed grooves at different angles to the cylinder axis. Oil consumption, longevity and noxious emissions highly depend on the quality of this groove texture. SPM4 microscope is interfaced with the computer to get a crystal sharp image of the honing texture. Exact angle of honing can be measured by the user friendly software and printed instantly. This novel set up completely replaces the old method of testing the liner surface by fax film. Cutting, mounting and polishing equipment along with many other type of special purpose industrial and metallurgical microscopes are also available on demand.
