Improve your manufacturing floor efficiency with the Shop Hardened Direct Computer Control MPCA200 Measuring Machine from ETAMIC/MOVOMATIC.

The MPCA200 machine has the capability, of measuring diameters, distance and geometric characteristics such as form, profile, orientation, location and runout in virtual space at high feed rates.
The MPCA200 is a production flexible, CNC controlled measuring machine. Metrology laboratory environment, air conditioning and special foundations are not required.
The MPCA200 machine uses the most technically advanced mechanical, CNC controls and measuring components. Loading of the parts to be measured can be done either manually or automatically.

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE :

Measurement data is obtained through a sum collection of a high resolution rotary encoder, amplified digital scales and a proprietary Etamic X - Y analogue touch probe developed specifically for the MPCA200.
The Etamic analogue touch probe allows for a <0.15µm repeatability error and 0.3 µm linear error when scanning diameters for runout. The data is processed through an error mapping array to display accurate and repeatable results.

MOTION CONTROLS :

Machine motion is managed with the use of an industrial CNC package widely used in the machine tool industry and includes a fast response 4 -Axis PC card. This CNC package runs seamlessly in the background because of the supreme Human- Machine Interface (HMI) developed for this machine.

INTERFACE CONFIGURATION :

The Human- Machine Interface (HMI) is managed by the ETAMIC Industrial PC Controller with 32-bit software a Windows® operating system and PC-DMIS™ 3-D inspection software. The PC-DMIS™ comprehensive software features an easy-to -use operator interface that guides you through part programming, setup and inspection routine execution.

Plus, with its integrated graphics function, you can create reports that put a fresh perspective on dimensional data. The optional PC-DMIS™ CAD software lets you use the power of 3-D data to create part programs; both on and off-line, complete with graphical part models and probe path simulations. Using the powerful PC-DMIS™ CAD graphical environment, you can create simulations to find and correct program errors before they are downloaded to the shop floor.

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 MPCA200 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. The control panel and the monitor can be moved to many positions.
