FROUDE CONSINE of Worcester sor-based engine timing system within ±1/2 degree of crankshaft r Using non-intrusive sensors, it can be used for both petrol and diesel engines.
The system measures top dead centre using an ultrasonic probe situated outside the cylinder block, operating in conjunction with a flywheel tooth probe or a shaft encoder which measures the crankshaft angle.
Once established, the top dead centre position is held in the system's memory enabling the timing angle to be calculated has produced a new microproc which is claimed to be accurate otation.
throughout the engine spe range.
Froude Consine has made substantial investment in co puter-aided design techniques the design of printed circ boards for the new timing unit The company claims that, I cause of the modular constn tion, the new system can tailored to meet specific requi ments for petrol and diesel gines being built throughout t world.
