Abstract
On a hard-rolling machine (41) for crankshafts (1) there is provided a plurality of measuring probes (4) corresponding to the number of main bearings (3) to be measured, which are arranged on a measuring-probe bridge (6) with the mutual spacing (5). The measuring-probe bridge (6) is detachably connected via quick couplings to the free ends of swivel arms wherein as cable connection between the measuring probes (4) and an evaluation device there is provided a detachable cable plug which connects each measuring probe (4) to the evaluation device. The measuring-probe bridge (6) can be removed from the hard-rolling machine (41) together with the cable plug and then re-attached thereto, depending on which type of crankshaft (1) is to be hard-rolled.
