Line of Probing Systems for Machine Tools

Line of Probing Systems for Machine ToolsThe modular Mida system is Marposs solution for verification and dimensional checks of parts and tools and for continuous process monitoring on CNC machine tools.

To simplify new machine installations and retrofitting, Mida probes are compatible with most current mechanical and electronic interface standards and offer a selection of hard wired and non contact communications options.

Line of Probing Systems for Machine Tools Mida technology is also available for non contact measurement on milling machines and machining centers using the Mida Laser system.

Mida monitoring systems give the possibility to continuously check working process by means of a wide range of sensors on board.

All the components of the Mida Line are designed to resist the most severe working conditions in the machine tool environment, whilst at the same time being capable of guaranteeing maximum precision.

To fulfill any application needs, Mida offers a wide and varied probing line

M18 Typical Diameter Measurement Plug

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Marposs M18 Gauge Plug for Transfer Lines is:

Probing System with Optical Transmission for CNC Lathes and Turning Centersdesigned to perform a two coaxial internal diameter measurement check;
utilized after turning and grinding operations on transfer machines, special purpose machines and post-process gauging stations;
typical for the measurement of valve seat and valve guide diameters of the cylinder head.

The diameter measurement plug guarantees reliability and process productivity improvement by automation of the process itself inclusive of the part measurement and closed loop feedback to the machine tool (compensation of tool wear, improvement of overall machining time and scrap reduction).

Measurements are performed by use of four Marposs measuring cells, each provided with one LVDT transducer.

The diameter measurement plug uses a body with fixed nosepiece. In order to protect it from potential collision due to part mis-positioning or part overstock conditions, the plug requires mounting to rigid recoiling devices.

The diameter measurement plug is provided with cleaning air nozzles in the diameter no.1 section (the air inlet is always at 180¬? with respect to the junction box).

It can be connected to E9066N electronic unit for complex applications or applications for which statistical analysis is required and to E3 family electronic units for simple applications.

Side-by-side assembled on the machine, the gauge plugs can measure bores having minimum center distance of 47 mm.

Diameter measurement check can be costly in terms of time, labour costs and test equipment, so to know more follow the link: M18 Diameter Measurement Plug

Probing System For CNC Machines Without Automatic Tool Change

Probing System For CNC Machines Without Automatic Tool Change E88 Touch System is the MARPOSS solution for part probing on CNC machines with no ATC.

It can be used for:

* workpiece zero point determination
* workpiece coordinate alignment
* workpiece dimensional measurements

The system can be directly connected to any machine tool CNC thanks to the interface unit integrated into the probe holder.

A LED showing the probe status facilitates the probing operation by the operator. The coiled connecting cable allows a wide range of movement of the system in the machining area.

The modularity of E88 system permits the use of any Mida part inspection probe and guarantees versatility of application.

Radio Frequency Spindle Probing System for Machine Tools

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Radio Frequency Spindle Probing System for Machine ToolsMida E86N spindle probing system, with radio-frequency transmission, is designed for presetting and workpiece measurement on milling machines and small and large machining centers. Thanks to the 64 available transmission channels, a very high number of machines equipped with radio frequency spindle probes, can be located even in a small machining area.

The Transmitter, available also in a compact version (E86N-P) suitable for all the applications on small-size machines and turning centers, can be activated and deactivated through a radio signal, allowing to extend the transmitter battery life and to be more user friendly.

The Interface, through two push buttons and one display, allows the programming of the whole system and the visualisation of all settings, of the transmission channel and of the charge level of the transmitter battery.

The receiving Antenna is particularly sturdy and suitable for standing also the harshest machine conditions. A sealed connector fitted between its base and the cable for connection to the interface facilitates its installation and any possible maintenance or replacement intervention.

These features make it very simple to perform all the installation, programming and maintenance operations on the E86N system. Moreover, thanks to the use of innovative technical solutions, the measurement accuracy and repeatability levels of 0.5 micron are guaranteed and other features such as insensitivity to vibrations and sharp accelerations in machine, and protection from chips and jets of coolant were improved.
