Measure form precisely on the shop floor
Form Measuring Machine delivers lab quality 3D and form measurements to the shop floor and its automated measurement and low uncertainty facilitate precision results.
Micrometers, calipers resist water
Water resistant digital calipers and micrometers are protected from dirt, temperature variations, and water spray during everyday use.
Form measuring machine doubles accuracy
Form measuring machine more than doubles the accuracy in roundness measurements, improves straightness measurements and offers faster measuring speeds.
This technology not only saves time, but lowers cost and removes measurement error from the inspection process.
This increases the available manufacturing tolerance window and helps deliver a higher quality product to the end user." Powerful, open-architecture style software in the MS 662 provides advanced measuring capability and supports user development of custom-tailored Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) to facilitate operator use.
MarSoft Vision 3-D software for Windows 2000 provides: 2-D and 3-D geometric elements and functions; form and position tolerances; feature material conditioners; automatic teach mode; optional CAD-interfaces that support automatic program generation, and more.
To provide optimum stability, the MS 662 includes a measuring table and cross-axis of rigid granite.
All axes are equipped with precision roller bearings and backlash free DC servo drives.
Stage positioning at 250 mm/sec and 0.1 um linear scale resolution provide rapid and accurate part positioning.
MS 662 provides industry-leading precision in accordance with VDI/VDE 2617 and ISO 10360-2 standards.
Ample measurement volume of up to 24" x 24" x 8" allows inspection of a wide variety of parts.
"The large operating envelope of the MS 662 provides an excellent platform for the inspection of numerous small critical parts such as medical implants as well as larger precision components such as molds and dies, electronic bus bars, membrane switches, even transmission parts, castings, and sub-assemblies," said Parker.
"With a higher level of precision than most CMMs and the inherent efficiency and smaller footprint of a multisensor machine, the MS 662 can offer benefits for a number of industries, including medical device manufacturing, plastic and metal injection molding, automotive, electronic assembly, tooling and more." Mahr Federal, a member of the Mahr Group, is known worldwide for its expertise in providing dimensional measurement solutions.
