The newly introduced MarVision MS 662 is the largest member of the Mahr MS Series of multisensor measuring machines.
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 3D software for Windows 2000 provides: 2D and 3D 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 250mm/s and 0.1um linear scale resolution provide rapid and accurate part positioning.
The MS 662 provides industry-leading precision in accordance with VDI/VDE2617 and ISO10360-2 standards.
Ample measurement volume of up to 24 x 24 x 8in 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 moulds and dies, electronic busbars, membrane switches, even transmission parts, castings and subassemblies", 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 moulding, automotive, electronic assembly, tooling and more".
