• Marposs to Feature High Precision Piezo Probing Line at Westec (Aug 02, 2017)

  Auburn Hills, Michigan, July 13, 2017 – At WESTEC in booth #1126, Marposs will feature its high accuracy Mida Diamond touch probes featuring piezo-electric technology and designed for high accuracy, 5-axes machining centers and milling machines.  These probes, available in optical or radio transmission styles, provide excellent measurement performance on 3D surfaces with repeatability within 0,25 µm and are well suited to industries where precision requirements are pushed to the limits daily, such as die and mold, aerospace, aeronautics and biomedical.

  
  Through automatic detection of machine axes position, these probes achieve part positioning, work piece orientation and origin identification as well as accurate part measurement. Relying upon a special filter, these probes can distinguish false-triggering events from actual touch events to provide better performance than other high precision probes, which might be sensitive to noise and vibrations.

  
  There are several types of applications are available. Operating with either a radio or optical receiver, the probes offer a wide operating field useful for large machines where line-of-sight between probe and receiver is not ensured. And, since the line of sight between the touch probe transmitter and receiver is not required, complex surfaces and deep cavity parts can be inspected. Measurements may be performed at depths as great as one meter due to the modular structure and extensions of the probe.
  
  The Mida Diamond line of high precision machine tool touch probes and tool setters designed to control every step of the production process. Advantages of this probing line include reduced machining and checking times, increased production efficiency, reduced production rejects, and constant machining quality level during the entire production process.

• Marposs Features Vibration Monitoring Module with New Temperature and Gravity Sensing Capability at Westec (Aug 02, 2017)

  Auburn Hills, Michigan, July 13, 2017 – Marposs, a world leader in measurement and process monitoring technologies, will highlight its new Artis VM-03 vibration monitoring module with temperature and gravity sensing capability at WESTEC in booth #1126. Located on the machine spindle, the VM-03 determines the position of the spindle in space while monitoring machine tool temperature, velocity of vibrations and acceleration, helping to minimize potential machine and tool damage caused by spindle issues.

  Bearing failures are responsible for 85 percent of spindle damages and 40 percent of bearing damages are due to collisions. Indications that there may be damages to the spindle can be recognized through a reduction of workpiece quality, an increase in bearing temperature, and through vibrations caused by bearing fatigue and raceway damage. The VM-03 aids in avoiding these issues by providing machine protection through detection of overload and potential crash; process monitoring to optimize cutting process parameters; and machine condition monitoring through predictive maintenance.
   

  The VM-03 provides alarm output for acceleration in the form of warning, soft stop or hard stop; a temperature warning and a gravity value warning with registration of alarms occurring within + 5 seconds of an event occurrence. All of this event data is recorded, illustrating operational processes and revealing any anomalies. For OEMs, access to this level of data can help protect from potential warranty claims.
  
  Visualization
  As part of the Genior Modular tool and process monitoring systems, visualization of the VM-03 collected data for machine monitoring can be achieved with a GEM VISU plug-in, which provides resolution of 1ms and a data log file available through hookup to a PC. Recording of the spindle working hours is divided into velocity of vibration classes and black box capability for the last 1000 recorded events.

  For machine condition monitoring, the VM-03 VISUSCOPE software needs to be installed on an external Windows x86 PC with selectable resolution between 0.05ms to 1ms.
  
  The Genior system is a comprehensive, fully automatic solution with multi-sensor and multi-screen visualization capability to effectively monitor the machine, spindles, axis, and the tool to optimize the cutting process.
