systems, infrared touch probes, radio frequency touch probes, measuring
robots, measuring machines, gauging fixtures, manual toolsetting arms,
motorized tool setting arms, productivity improvement
Applications on grinders Marposs
in-process gauges continuously measure parts during the grinding
process: the machine cycle is adjusted based on the amount of material
stock to be removed and the feed rates are optimized to produce parts
with
excellent surface finishes and very tight tolerances.
These applications are resistant to the harshest working environments
and
are available for any type of grinding machine (centerless, cylindrical
grinders, etc. ) both for OD and ID measurements on smooth or
interrupted
surfaces with quick set-up devices.
Marposs
wheel balancers are the best
solution to continuously monitor the
grinding wheel condition and immediately compensate any unbalancing
during
the cycle, improving the surface quality of individual parts, extending
spindle life and reducing the grinder downtime.
Both external (flange type) and internal (spindle type) balancing heads
are
available, with either hard wired and contactless signal transmission.
Marposs
acoustic sensors detect changes in the sounds produced during
grinding and provide precise feed rate control when the wheel is
touching
the part or the dresser, thus preventing collisions and detecting
machine
and tool abnormalities, chipped grinding wheels and dresser faults.
The acoustic sensors allow to improve cycle time and reduce costs.
Sensors can be integrated into the in-process measurement and the wheel
balancing functions.
Applications on grinders, lathes, milling machines, transfer machines, transfer lines, machining centers, flexible cells
Marposs Mida™
probing systems are used for part dimensional inspection
and
tool setting for virtually any CNC cutting machine tool.
The line includes both touch probes and non-contact laser systems with
the
ability to improve production quality and increase machine tool
productivity.
Installation is easy on new machines as well as in old machines
retrofitting, thanks to the availability of a sw library for several
types
of numerical controls (NC).
Hard wired or infrared interfaces are available.
Marposs
post-process gauges measure critical dimensions on ground or
turned parts and may generate compensation feedback signals to the machine tool control, as well as statistical process control (SPC).
They range from simple to complex systems, either dedicated or flexible,
manual or automatic, stand-alone or fully integrated with process
automation and robots.
Marposs standard and special gauge plugs are used in applications
on
transfer lines, machining centers and flexible cells.
The dimension of the part can be detected on the machine and the
measurement result is used to correct the machine in order to maximize
the
process capability. Scraps are eliminated and costs reduced.
These systems are available with standard or wide range measuring cells
and
based on contact or pneumatic technology. Hard wired or infrared
interfaces
are available.
Non-destructive testing
Thanks to the
non destructive testing it is possible to perform a
100-percent
inspection of mechanical components to make sure of their structural
integrity and meet today's safety and reliability concerns.
