M18 Typical Diameter Measurement Plug

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

Non-Contact Tool Setting System for CNC Machining Centres and Milling Machines

Tool setting with stand alone Mida Laser 75 on machining centerThe Mida Laser systems use a laser diode and a high precision photodiode to perform static or moving controls and tool measurements. The signals generated by the system when the tool under test breaks the laser beam are used by the machine CNC to perform the required measurements.

Mida Laser systems are available in focused or collimated versions. The focused version is essential for checking the cutting profile and measuring the length of tools with spherical heads, engravers or diameters less than 1 mm.

Modular Mida Laser 75 Mida Laser systems are available in two models:

* Mida Laser 75

* Mida Laser 105

Mida Laser 75 interface The compact Mida Laser 75, for use with smaller machines, is available in three versions:

* Bracket with emitter and receiver in a single structure, available in different lengths

* Pico Laser, the ultra compact bracket mounted version for smaller machines

* Modular with the emitter and receiver separated by a distance of up to 1 m in the case of the focused version, and up to 3m in the case of the collimated version

Mida Laser 105, modular with emitter and receiver separated, for large machines and distances up to 12 m.

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

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.
