Original Press Release:
New Mahr Universal Multisensor Measuring Machine Provides Rapid, Precise Inspection of High-Volume Precision Components and Assemblies
-- MS 662 Multisensor integrates video, laser, touch probe measurement with industry-leading precision for full 3-D geometric inspection
-- Robust design and powerful open-architecture software allow sequential inspection of piece part components in trays and pallet lots
PROVIDENCE, RI - The newly introduced MarVision MS 662 is the largest member of the Mahr MS Series of multisensor measuring machines. It is designed to provide industry-leading precision measurements on larger precision parts, and on high volume components and assemblies that can be inspected in trays and pallet lots. Fully automatable, the MS 662 incorporates a CCD camera, TTL laser and mechanical touch probe sensor in a robust design ideally suited for near production line and work cell environments.
"The Mahr family of multisensor measuring machines is ideal for a wide range of applications where multiple setups and a combination of contact and non-contact measurements are required," said Keith Parker, Business Development Manager for Multisensor Solutions at Mahr Federal. "The MS 662 Multisensor machine can automatically inspect a quantity of piece parts fixtured in a tray or pallet with a single setup and with minimal measurement uncertainty. This technology not only saves time, but lowers cost and removes measurement error from the inspection process. This increases the available manufacturing tolerance window and helps deliver a higher quality product to the end user."
Powerful, open-architecture style software in the MS 662 provides advanced measuring capability and supports user development of custom-tailored Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) to facilitate operator use. MarSoft Vision 3-D software for Windows 2000(r) provides: 2-D and 3-D geometric elements and functions; form and position tolerances; feature material conditioners; automatic teach mode; optional CAD-interfaces that support automatic program generation, and more.
To provide optimum stability, the MS 662 includes a measuring table and cross-axis of rigid granite. All axes are equipped with precision roller bearings and backlash free DC servo drives. Stage positioning at 250 mm/sec and 0.1 um linear scale resolution provide rapid and accurate part positioning. MS 662 provides industry-leading precision in accordance with VDI/VDE 2617 and ISO 10360-2 standards. Ample measurement volume of up to 24" x 24" x 8" allows inspection of a wide variety of parts.
"The large operating envelope of the MS 662 provides an excellent platform for the inspection of numerous small critical parts such as medical implants as well as larger precision components such as molds and dies, electronic bus bars, membrane switches, even transmission parts, castings, and sub-assemblies ," said Parker. "With a higher level of precision than most CMMs and the inherent efficiency and smaller footprint of a multisensor machine, the MS 662 can offer benefits for a number of industries, including medical device manufacturing, plastic and metal injection molding, automotive, electronic assembly, tooling and more."
Mahr Federal, a member of the Mahr Group, is known worldwide for its expertise in providing dimensional measurement solutions. The ISO 9001:2000-certified company manufactures and markets a wide variety of dimensional metrology products, and is headquartered in Providence, RI.
