Optical Touch Probe for Large Machining Centers
Marposs will showcase the Mida VOS optical touch probe system for use on large three- and five-axis machining centers.

Monitoring System for Complete Production
The Marposs Monitoring Solutions initiative provides monitoring systems for complete production fields.

Modular Process Monitoring and Control System Increases Process Safety
Available from Marposs, Artis Systems’ Genior Modular process monitoring and control system is designed to increase process safety of machine tools without complex and tedious setting.

Multi-Channel Optical Transmission Touch Probe System
Marposs’ Mida VOS optical touch-probe system is designed for use on large three- and five-axis machining centers.

Radio System Enables Machine Tool Setup, Inspection
Suitable for part setup and inspection on medium to large machining centers and mills, Marposs’ World Radio System includes a wireless touch probe, wireless tool setter and wireless bore gage, all of which communicate via a single radio frequency receiver.

Tool Breakage Detection System
Marposs’ Mida TBD non-contact tool breakage detector unit is designed to provide fast and reliable verification of tool presence or breakage inside the machine tool.

Crash-Sensing System
Artis Systems, a unit of Marposs, offers the Crashsensor ACS-3 three-axis acceleration sensor with datalogger.

Gage Computer Offers Enhanced Data Storage, Operating Features
Marposs offers an additional version of its Merlin-embedded gage computer with Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

Products for Shop Floor Measurement and Inspection
The i-Wave gage’s wireless handle enables “plug-and-play” change-over of a variety of mechanical gage heads without any tools, the company says.

Crash Sensing System
The Crashsensor ACS-3 is equipped with a multi-axis acceleration sensor, evaluation electronics and micro controller combined in one housing.

Probing Systems and Software for On-Machine Measuring
Marposs’ 3D Shape Inspector part measurement and verification software is designed for machine tools with as many as five axes.

Optimize Measurement Data Acquisition, Management
Quick SPC for Windows version 3 is a suite of software products from Marposs designed for measurement and inspection data acquisition and management. Framed in a wizard-driven user interface, the SPC and quality control software uses add-ons for gaging applications in specialized industry segments.

Programmable Tool Verification And Breakage Control System
 The Mida Laser 75P non-contact programmable tool setting system incorporates a protection system with air-tunnel effect, a powerful integrated microprocessor for best performance under coolant, an active drip rejection filter and enhanced noise reduction with double filtering technology. The programmable system can be adapted to the tool type under verification, to the same rotation speed used during machining and to the desired measuring cycle. The system is available with a “collimated” or “focused” laser beam.

Compact Gaging System Allows In-Process Inspection On Small Grinding Machines
This new gaging system not only is compact enough to install on small grinding machines, but also can measure a part’s OD, ID and length to sub-micron accuracy.

Optical Twin Probe System
An integrated probing system enables the installation of both tool setting and part inspection probes onto machine tools using a single wireless interface unit. The Mida Optical Twin Probe System, which incorporates a compact, tube-type optical receiver interface (ORI), is said to simplify probing applications, especially in situations where connecting cables proves to be difficult, such as installations on machines with rotary tables or dual pallets. This combination is said to facilitate the speedy measurement of tool length and diameter, breakage detection and part setup and inspection times.

High Precision Optical Spindle Probe
Marposs introduces the Mida OGP70 optical spindle probe for use in very high precision machining centers and milling machines. The optical spindle probe has unidirectional repeatability of 0. 1 µm.

Who's Afraid To Cut To Zero?
Most U.S. mold shops still leave extra stock on the cores and cavities of the molds they machine. This practice is unnecessary and wasteful, say proponents of advanced machining technology.

Enhanced System For Grinding Applications

Taking No Chances With Quality
A shop's good reputation is hard to build and easy to loose. Consistent quality is key to keeping customers. In its 30-plus year history, this Chicago specialty grinding job shop has never taken quality for granted.

Contract Machining Firm Meets Zero Defects Goal Using Automated Gaging Solutions
This shop specializes in low- to high-volume subcontract manufacturing of machined castings and forgings for the construction, off-road heavy equipment and automotive industries. The operations are housed in a 150,000-square-foot facility with approximately 95 machine tools.

Laser Toolsetter Solves Moldmaker's Quality And Productivity Challenges
Prior to toolsetter installation, Desenco personnel report that it was 'almost impossible' to attain accurate Z depths and repeatability in the Z axis.

Flexible Machining Calls For Flexible Gaging
Where flexibility and versatility are the rule, it should apply not only to machine tools but also to shop-floor metrology equipment. For this contract shop, a modular, flexible gaging system for shaft-like parts helps keep the company agile.
