Eje del motor y requisitos del proyecto
A motor shaft is a rotating component that supports the rotor and transfers torque to a gearbox, coupling, fan, pump or other driven mechanism. Its geometry may include bearing journals, rotor seats, espalda, surcos, chaveteros, splines or threaded ends. The correct straightening method depends on which surfaces define the functional rotational axis.
Para este proyecto, 0.05 mm is recorded as the customer's requested straightness. It should not be treated as a universal UBS 300 guarantee until the customer confirms whether the drawing controls straightness, radial runout or total indicated runout (tir), where the measurement is taken, and which journals or centers form the datum.

Straightness and Radial Runout Are Not the Same
Straightness describes how far a shaft axis or surface deviates from an ideal straight line. Radial runout measures the variation seen by a probe while the workpiece rotates around a defined datum. A part can give different runout readings when it is supported on centers, bearing journals or other diameters. The machine and the customer's final inspection must therefore use compatible references.
Before quotation, the drawing should identify the controlled characteristic, tolerance zone, características de referencia y posiciones de medición. Si el conjunto final ubica el eje sobre dos muñones de cojinete, esos diarios normalmente serán más significativos que un diámetro exterior arbitrario. Chaveteros, surcos, La contaminación de la superficie y las transiciones de diámetro deben mantenerse alejadas de los puntos de medición a menos que el método de medición esté diseñado para ellos..

Método de alisado recomendado
For discrete motor shafts with specified journals and several possible diameters, automatic point press-straightening is generally more suitable than a continuous roll straightener. It allows the machine to rotate and measure the shaft, locate the direction and axial position of the bend, move or index the workpiece to an approved correction point, apply a controlled over-bending stroke and measure again.
A continuous roll process may still be suitable for constant-diameter bars or some uniform shaft blanks. It should not automatically be selected for finished stepped shafts because the rolls may contact functional features and the process provides less freedom to protect model-specific zones. Final method selection must be based on the actual shaft family rather than the product name alone.
Proposed UBS 300 Automatic Process
The project video shows slender shafts entering the machine through an automatic feeding mechanism and being positioned in the straightening station. It provides useful evidence of the material-flow and pressing concept, but the final project configuration—including sensors, force range, cycle time and model coverage—must be confirmed against the customer's drawing.
Paso 1: Part Identification and Recipe Selection
The system selects a validated recipe for the shaft model. The recipe should contain the shaft length, reference diameters, posiciones de apoyo, puntos de medición, allowed correction zones, target tolerance and maximum correction limits. Barcode or DMC selection can be added where mixed models create a risk of operator error.
Paso 2: Automatic Feeding and Positioning
The feeding unit separates and transfers shafts into the straightening station. Rails, pockets and contact materials must match the 8–18 mm diameter range without scratching finished surfaces or allowing two parts to enter together.
The shaft is then located on approved support areas. The fixture must maintain stable rotation and prevent axial movement while avoiding keyways, threads and sensitive bearing surfaces whenever possible.
Paso 3: Medición inicial
The workpiece rotates while the measuring system records deviation at specified axial positions. Sensor type, probe force and filtering should be selected for the surface condition. Un soporte sucio, groove or diameter transition can create an apparent bend that is not the true shaft deformation, so measurement plausibility checks are necessary.
Paso 4: Bend Calculation and Angular Positioning
The control identifies the dominant bend magnitude and angular position. It then selects a safe axial correction point and aligns the bend with the press direction. For shafts with multiple bends, the correction sequence must be validated so that one press action does not create a new error at another measuring point.
Paso 5: Controlled Over-Bending
Straightening requires the workpiece to be bent beyond its desired final position so that it settles closer to straight after elastic springback. The required stroke depends on shaft diameter, local section, material y dureza. Initial limits should be established conservatively through sample tests and refined from the measured response.
The press head and supports should contact only approved areas. Stroke limits and, where available, force monitoring protect the shaft from excessive correction, cracking or surface damage.
Paso 6: Remeasurement and Adaptive Correction
After pressing, the shaft is rotated and measured again using the same datum. If the result remains outside the target but the process is within its validated limits, the controller can calculate another correction. A maximum cycle, stroke or force limit prevents uncontrolled repeated pressing.
Paso 7: Final OK/NOK Decision and Unloading
The system accepts a part only when every required measuring point meets the confirmed criterion. Parts with inconsistent measurements or those that reach a process limit should be sent to NOK or manual review. Donde se requiere trazabilidad, the machine can record before/after values, recuento de corrección, model recipe and result.

Validación del proyecto antes de la cotización final
This page describes the customer's requirement and a proposed solution, not a completed performance claim. Representative samples should include the shortest, más largo, smallest-diameter and largest-diameter shafts, together with normal and worst-case incoming bends. If material or heat-treatment batches vary, those conditions should also be included.
The sample report should document the measurement datum, incoming result, resultado final, recuento de corrección, tiempo de ciclo, surface condition and any rejected samples. A gauge-correlation check between the UBS 300 and the customer's inspection method is important before the 0.05 mm requirement becomes an acceptance guarantee.
Information Needed for a Motor Shaft Straightening Proposal
Please provide the shaft drawings, material y dureza, heat-treatment stage, minimum and maximum dimensions, bearing and rotor-seat locations, keyways or threads, distribución de curvatura entrante, tolerancia final, dato de inspección, allowed support and pressing areas, tiempo de ciclo objetivo, volumen anual, Dirección de carga y muestras representativas..
These inputs allow the solution team to confirm whether one UBS 300 configuration can cover the complete 8–18 mm by 140–600 mm family, or whether change tooling, additional supports or a different machine concept is required.
Preguntas frecuentes
Can the UBS 300 guarantee 0.05 mm straightness for every Ø8–18 mm shaft?
Not from diameter and length alone. The result also depends on material, dureza, geometría, curva entrante, datum and measurement method. The target should be confirmed through drawing review and representative sample tests.
Can one machine handle shafts from 140 a 600 mm de largo?
Potencialmente, if the machine travel, apoya, sensors and press positions cover the complete range. Each model still needs a validated recipe and may require change tooling.
How does automatic straightening replace manual work?
The automatic system standardizes feeding, medición, límites de corrección, remeasurement and sorting. Operators still manage material supply, auditorías de inspección, tooling maintenance and abnormal parts.
How are bearing journals and finished surfaces protected?
The drawing is used to define approved support, measuring and pressing areas. Contoured contacts, suitable materials and clean fixtures help reduce unacceptable marks.
What happens when a shaft cannot reach the target?
The machine should stop after the validated correction, stroke or force limit and classify the part as NOK or manual review instead of continuing to press it.
What is required for an accurate quotation?
El paquete mínimo útil es el dibujo., material y dureza, medición entrante y objetivo, dato de inspección, características protegidas, volumen de producción, target takt time and sample parts.
Conclusión
Motor shaft straightening is a closed-loop measurement and correction process, not simply a pressing operation. For this Ø8–18 mm and 140–600 mm project, the key engineering decisions are the functional datum, adjustable support strategy, model-specific correction response and verified interpretation of the 0.05 objetivo mm.
Send your motor shaft drawings, datos de curvatura entrantes, tolerancia objetivo, production volume and sample information for a UBS 300 feasibility review. The final proposal should be based on sample evidence and an agreed acceptance method rather than diameter and length alone.
