Competitively priced and designed to provide fast, accurate, fully automatic measurement of smaller shafts and turned parts directly on the shop floor, the MarShaft SCOPE 250 plus features a highly accurate matrix camera with four million pixels. The system measures parts up to 250 mm in length and 40 mm in diameter with an accuracy that is previously unknown in this market segment. An MPE (Maximum Permissible Error) of less than 1.5 microns + L/40 when measuring diameter and an even more impressive 3 microns + L/125 when measuring length is significantly more accurate than other systems using line cameras.

The MarVision QM 300, a new video measuring microscope with image processing capability is designed for the measurement and/or dimensioning of geometric elements. With automatic image processing, part features can be stored and once the part is in place the QM300 will automatically recognize the part and make all the programmed measurements with no operator involvement. The MarVision QM 300 incorporates an integrated CCD color camera with a 23″ touchscreen PC with keyboard and mouse, and easy-to-use Windows based M3 software. Automatic edge detection allows even low contrast features to be measured, and a multi-touch function provides quick and continuous measurements using either touchscreen or the mouse. The QM 300 is a full-featured measuring station designed for fast, close to the grinding machine evaluation of cutting inserts or flat components such as punch and stamped parts.

Also on display at Booth #1835 will be:

• Mahr Federal’s Millimar C1200, a new low-cost easy-to-view and easy-to-use Digital Amplifier. Incorporated in the C1200 is a new high resolution, high color contrast display that provides clear and very responsive analog readings with selectable scales.

UNISIG’s USC-M series of 7-axis deep hole drilling and machining centers is ideal for mold production, allowing manufacturers to process large and small parts with four-sided machining capability in a single setup. The USC-M series machines utilize two independent spindles: one for gundrilling and BTA drilling and a second CAT 50 machining spindle. When this additional capability is combined with a rotatory workpiece table and programmable headstock inclination, accurate deep hole drilling and all standard high-performance machining capabilities are available within the working envelope of the system.

The seven axes of control on the M-Series machines utilize the B, A, X, Y and Z axes, providing 3 plus 2 machining to make deep hole drilling and machining of compound angles faster and easier, and improves productivity and throughput by reducing setups and eliminating changeovers. In fact, using a deep hole drilling headstock capable of high-performance BTA drilling is five-to-seven-times faster than traditional gundrilling.

The UNE Series of machines offers a strong value proposition for job shops that are incorporating gundrilling into their operations. With high-precision, preloaded ballscrew feed and digital servo drive with absolute encoders, the machines provide exceptional accuracy. The UNE Series incorporates a modular design and is available with a wide range of spindle configurations and automation option, allowing it to be easily customized to a manufacturer’s unique applications.
