""Run-out Inspection of Wheel Casting

Wheel Castings slide into a rotating fixture beneath six stationary XXX sensors. Each XXX is positioned so that the nominal dimension to be checked is at the midpoint of the sensor’s programmed measurement window. The 0 to 10V dc outputs of all six sensors are fed into a PLC, which records maximum runout and outputs a machining program. The LG5A, with its wide beam diameter, was selected for best output stability on a rough casting surface. The XXX non-contact sensor eliminates frequent sensor replacement and recalibration.

Objective:
Prior to machining, inspect a wheelcasting to ensure that six critical dimensions are within tolerance"

... why run-out? what does it mean here?

Selected answer:checking of the "roundness"
Explanation:
This is a routine tolerance check performed on "round" objects.
I used to work in a gear manufacturer and it was an important standard inspection item during at the end of production.
The "run-out" is how round they are. In Italian it would be "eccentricità".

disagree  Tony M: No, it's a special term in connection with rotating mechanical parts, nothing to do with casting here

Explanation:
Marolli:
RUNOUT: incomplete casting due to molten metal escaping out of the mold during or after pouring = getto incompleto
RUNOUT: escape of metal from molds: FUGA DEL METALLO DALLA FORMA

Hope it helps!

agree  Tony M: Hooray! The wheel casting probably goes round, and the sensors measure where it needs machining, to make it go round accurately concentrically
