Configuration examples and system solutions

Exemplary special solutions and system configurations exhibited in the M³ Solution Center Europe:

 

Coordinate Measuring Machines

MACH V

High-speed CNC coordinate measuring system designed in open C structure, especially for time-saving inline measurement

  • Loading system including two set-up stations
     
  • Automatic workpiece feeding
     
  • Flexible fixture system REPRO-FIX
     
  • Automatic feeding of changing rack for stylus change
 
CARBstrato

Cantilever-type coordinate measuring machine in dual arm structure for measuring large workpieces, such as complete carbodies.

  • Synchronized system control
     
  • Supporting numerous measuring systems, such as touch trigger probes and scanning probes, power swivel and rotating systems, laser probes, stylus changers and vision measuring solutions (CCD camera).
     
  • Volumetric error compensation
     
  • Software featuring additional functions, e. g.  edge measurement, gap width measurement and non-contact measurement (CAD compare) using laser systems
     
  • Dust protected and accessible X axis guide
     
  • Collision control by beam sensors integrated in the Y axis arm
 
CORRECT PLUS

Evaluation software for rapid feedback of the measured data from the coordinate measuring machine to the machining center. Demonstrated in a video-simulated processing machine with automatic workpiece feeding.

  • Calculated correction values are entered into the correction value file
     
  • No intervention into the machine tool NC program
     
  • The correction value file is transferred immediately from the machine control, thus enabling production of the very next workpiece using the corrected data.
     
  • Flexible assignment of workpiece and coordinate measuring machine in the running production process of equal as well as of varying workpieces

 

Surface roughness measurement

FORMTRACER SV M 3000 CNC

CNC-controlled surface roughness measuring system featuring a column moving range of 800 mm in Y direction

  • Rotation-type detector holder for overarm measurement
     
  • Surface roughness measurement on Y axis within a measuring range of 800 mm 
     
  • Integrated vibration damping system
     
  • Fixture system REPRO-FIX for workpiece mounting 

 

 

Vision Measuring

QV STREAM PLUS

Vision measuring system capable of in-motion image capturing. Designed for workpiece inspection in fast batch production.

  • In-motion measurement
     
  • Measuring speed up to 40 mm/s
     
  • Accuracy 1,5 µm
     
  • Stage-, coaxial-, and programmable four-quadrant strobe illumination ring light
     
  • High-resolution progressive CCD black/white camera
