The GFM VolumeChecker technology allows a fast measurement of the combustion chamber volume directly on the cylinder head with or without inserted valves as well as the three dimensional acquisition of the combustion chamber’s contour.

For centuries, the detection of the combustion chamber volume has had a high importance in vehicle development. In times of the computer-aided design and an increasing manufacturing accuracy, the classic volume gauging by means of liquids or gases is more and more replaced. An increasing number of companies is using the advantages of the optical 3-D-measuring technology, which allows a fast, highly accurate and efficient (laminary) calculation of the combustion chamber volume. A further important possibility of evaluation after the calculation of the combustion chamber volume is the comparison of the nominal volume model (master part) and the actual volume model from the calculated CAD data. Thus, all relevant parameters of combustion chambers such as for example combustion chamber volume, 3-D profile of the combustion chamber, depth of the combustion chamber etc. may be analysed with the VolumeChecker.
