Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color printing equipment for aluminum cans, specifically to a gauge for detecting the circular runout of the printing press's core rod shaft. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of aluminum can printing equipment manufacturing, the precise detection of the mandrel support arm's circular runout parameter is a core technological step to ensure the assembly accuracy of the equipment. This parameter directly determines the positioning accuracy of the printing color registration system, and the accuracy of its detection data will directly affect the registration accuracy of the printed pattern and the finished product qualification rate.
[0003] The current circular runout detection technology used in the industry has the following technical defects:
[0004] 1. Regarding the reference positioning system, the traditional lever-type dial indicator frame has an inherent defect of insufficient structural rigidity. Its three-point contact support structure is prone to micro-displacement during dynamic testing, causing the measurement reference to drift. Especially under equipment vibration conditions, this error value can be amplified, resulting in insufficient accuracy.
[0005] 2. Regarding the testing operation process, existing technology requires at least three operators working together: one person rotates the mandrel support arm, another adjusts the printing depth, and a third person simultaneously observes and adjusts the dial readings. A single complete testing cycle takes 120-150 minutes, and due to subjective errors in manual interpretation, 3-4 verification tests are often required, resulting in non-productive downtime exceeding 40% during equipment debugging. Due to the diversity of market demands, production lines need to frequently switch between different can models, involving equipment changeover operations. Taking a two-piece aluminum can color printing machine as an example, the circular runout of the mandrel support arm needs to be detected during equipment changeover. For production lines with line speeds reaching 3000 CPM, changeover efficiency directly affects production quality and order delivery. Therefore, improving changeover efficiency is particularly important.
[0006] In summary, traditional meter mounting devices have several shortcomings in application: their design is not standardized enough, resulting in systematic errors and insufficient accuracy. Traditional mounting spaces are limited, restricting adjustments and complicating the installation process, leading to high labor intensity and low efficiency. These technical deficiencies result in low equipment commissioning success rates and increased maintenance time, necessitating the development of new meter mounting devices. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, the cross-section of the threaded groove on the lower part of one side of the fixed base is semi-circular, and correspondingly, the cross-section of the receiving groove on the inner side of the slider is semi-circular.
[0013] Preferably, a third locking hole and a corresponding locking screw are provided on one side wall of the first mounting through hole on the fixed base.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
