Only Background how does a fuel four cylinder heads were supplied, though injection pump work? more components can be fixtured if required. In order for an injection action to occur, a buildup of pressure is required. In the Common Rail to be able to migrate from one hole to A critical feature on the cylinder heads is Accumulator Injection system, the actual build-up another without removing the part. Using of injection pressure is separate from the injection the TalyMaster XY stage it is now possible action itself. Pressure is generated in the Rail (also to mount several components at one time, known as an accumulator) from a high pressure measure all features on each part as well as pump. This high-pressure pump is driven by the compute the distance between features. crankshaft of the engine and supplies fuel to the rail at 1,600 bar, even at low engine speeds. The high pressure produces a very fine atomisation of the fuel leading to better and cleaner combustion. As the rail is pressured all the time, the fuel supply can be optimised independently to each injector. The time and duration of fuel injection is controlled by the ECU and can be controlled precisely to optimise combustion and emissions. Benefits of the common rail principle compared with conventional diesel engines are lower engine noise levels, stronger performance and greater efficiency leading to lower emissions and enhanced fuel economy. Because of the high pressures involved in this mechanism the sealing faces of the pump are critical in terms of form, angle and surface finish Figure 1: Several components can be and require tight control. mounted at one time Taylor Hobson 2012 A149 - Ball screws and lead screws Application note A149: Lead and ball screws Talyrond, Form Talysurf Inspection of ball and lead screw actuator components Robert Burton, Applications Engineer Introduction Taylor Hobson works with leading manufacturers of actuator components to develop unique measurement techniques for the industry.
