Auto Gap Sizing Machine

The above machine was designed to Finish the Gap of Piston Rings. The Rings are first fed to the Orientation Device at the Input where the gap of all Rings are oriented in one direction. These rings are then fed on to the Ring Magazine Unit in fixed orientation. The Rings are then fed to the machining area by a Pusher and are passed through the Tool Sleeve over a Milling Cutter which removes the excess material from the Ring Gap. The finished rings are collected in a Output Orientation Device which ensures the orientation of the rings in one direction for the next operation ( which is a pre-requisite for the next operation).

Total Tolerance Available :+  0.1mm

Tolerance achieved over 300 Rings machined during trials : +0.05 mm
