The MPCA680 machine is specialized toward the measurement of "round"
parts such as crankshaft, camshafts and
transmission shafts
The
MPCA machine has the capability, of measuring diameters, distance and
geometric characteristics such as form, profile, orientation, location
and runout.
PRINCIPLE
:
- Radius
and diameter data collection is performed by two high accuracy incremental
length probes (travel
120 mm).
- Axial
data collection is performed by combining one CC3 Etamic touch probe
and high resolution linear encoder.
- Angular
measurement collections are performed by combining the above CC3 touch
probe and a high resolution rotary encoder.
MOTION
CONTROLS :
The machine servomotors are controlled by an industrial CNC package widely
used in the machine tool industry.
Technicians and operators are already familiar with CNC controlled machines
can program the MPAC machine with very little training.
CONSTITUTION
:
Like all the Etamic gaging products, the MPCA machine is designed to be
used in a manufacturing environment.
The MPCA is a production flexible CNC controlled measuring machine. Metrology
laboratory environment, air conditioning and special foundations are not
required.
CONFIGURATION
:
The measurement software of the MPCA machine is an upgrade of the powerful
ETAMIC CMZ03 software Interactive screens using the ASME Y 14.5M dimensioning
and tolerancing specifications and sybols for mechanical engineering,
and a library of generic mathematical formulas make the system easy to
configure and user friendly.
DISPLAY :
A large choice of standard or custom made bargraph, digital and graphics
displays make the interpretation of the results obvious and provide full
assurance that the measurements results comply with ASME Y 14.5M specifications.
CALIBRATION :
All the MPCA probes and encoders
zeroing is performed automatically by the machine on a single calibration
device mounted on the part rotation driver.
Except when very accurate measurements have to be performed no other special
part like master is required.
ERGONOMY
:
In case of manual load, unload, the operator has
full view and easy access to the gaging station. Part support vees and
centers are easily and quickly adjustable. The control panel and the monitor
can be moved to any position and angle.
