Line of Probing Systems for Machine Tools

The 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.

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

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

marposs — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:59:53 +0000

Mida 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.

Part Probing System With Optical Transmission – E83WA

marposs — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 08:54:21 +0000

Thanks to the gauging software packages Marposs has made available for the most common CNCs on the market, the E83WA system can also be installed on machines already in operation at end user premises.

The new technologies used are based on the use of miniaturized components and since the LEDs have a large operating range, transmission is guaranteed in all types of machines.
The transmitter can form a complete system with the receiver with an integrated interface, but applications requiring two or more probes in the same machine can use the E83T interface module.
