New Software for On-Machine Measurement - 4/6/2008

New Software for On-Machine Measurement

4/6/2008

Provided By Marposs Corp.

Newly updated 3D Shape Inspector part measurement software for machines with up to 5 axes, and newly enhanced software for its Mida Laser tool setters for gauging and updating the cutting radius of mold making tools such as ball nose end mills. Marposs will provide live demonstrations of the new software packages along with its Mida spindle probes, Mida Laser 75 tool setter, and other products for measurement, inspection and process control will be presented by Marposs at Mold Making Expo, April 23-24, 2008, in Booth #818. Installed on the machine tool’s CNC or on a separate PC, Marposs’ 3D Shape Inspector (3DSI) software enables mold makers to turn a machining center or milling/turning machine into a virtual CMM by providing rapid verification of workpiece form and accuracy without removing the part from the machine. The operator receives instant part quality feedback that can allow immediate part rework and printout of simple, self-explanatory reports. On-machine measurement saves considerable time in removing the part for inspection in a lab and then refixturing and resetting the part whenever additional machining is required. Marposs has recently updated the 3DSI software for use with machine tools with 4th and 5th axis capabilities. New tool gauge cycles for use with Mida Laser systems include a program especially designed to allow mold makers to obtain the maximum tool life of ball nose end mills and other cutting tools. The new tool gauge cycle for gauging the radius of the tool’s cutting edge checks that the shape of the tool is correct for the purpose of obtaining its error as compared to the theoretical shape. Sharad Mundra, Marposs Mida Probing product manager, notes that mold making tools such as ball nose end mills experience non-uniform wear compared to standard tools that tend to wear at the center and on the diameter. “Because different points of the ball nose end mill are in contact with the part throughout the machining program, tool wear is not distributed evenly along the tool radius,” explains Mundra. “As the tool cuts, we know exactly which points of the tool are cutting so the operator can pick up the real value at different points on the cutter to compensate for wear.” The Mida Laser 75 software feature enables mold manufacturers to use their ball nose end mills to the fullest extent and not use an average value for calculation. The new software feature is ideal for use with cylindrical mills with spherical head, coned milling cutters with spherical head and disk-type milling cutters with round inserts. Complete information on the new 3D Shape Inspector software and new tool gauge cycles for use with Mida Laser tool setting systems can be obtained on the company’s web site at www.marposs.com and www.midaprobing.com or by contacting Marposs toll-free at 1-888-627-7677.
