A wide range of different parameters are important for the proper functioning of next generation engines. Many of these parameters rely on perfectly optimised and precision machined cylinder bore walls.

To satisfy the critical quality needs of this next generation of engine design as well as today’s production, Opto has developed its family of CylinderInspector products – combining perfect image quality, flexibility, and a fully customisable software suite giving automotive manufacturers the ability to inspect and quantify the internal finish of their cylinders to unprecedented levels.

CylinderInspector is an all-optical, non-contact inspection and measurement tool able to provide perfect optical inspection of honed, surfaces in cast iron and aluminium, as well as the detailed analysis of composition and distribution of silicon crystals in aluminium. CylinderInspector has already gained its heritage as the inspection instrument of choice amongst many automobile and engine manufactures internationally.

Key Features

• High end optical system with perfectly matched illumination to ensure optimum ‘in-cylinder’ image quality
• Powerful yet easy to use CylinderInspector software suite for measurement and analysis of key parameters including digital fax film mode, automated hone angle measurement, and crystal distribution/li>
• Available in eyepiece, video, or fully automated versions
• Non contact, self centering mechanisms for easy insertion and removal (QuickTest models)
• Full 360° rotational view with variable height adjust
• Able to fit wide variety of cylinders ranging from 60mm to 130mm in diameter
• Optical zoom and remote focus system allows the user to inspect the surface at different variable magnifications

Your Benefit

• Perfect manual or automated optical inspection of internal cylinder bore walls, honing angle measurement and crystal distribution.
• Standardised inspection process between supplier and customer
• Enables precise and repeatable measurement of pre-defined parameters –significantly enhancing control over cylinder production processes and ensuring far higher levels of product quality control.
• Totally customisable programming interface
