Cylinder liner surface topology greatly affects oil consumption and wear of engines. Surface optimization would be greatly facilitated by automatic quality control. Surface roughness definitions, parameters, and measurement techniques were reviewed and samples of different Volvo truck engine cylinder liner types were measured. Routines for extracting and computing groove parameters, useful in the automation of quality control in production, were developed, implemented in MATLAB and applied on the samples. The principles of the last two steps procedures needed to fully automate the surface grading by roughness parameters analysis were described.
