Mahr Federal To Feature New MarShaft™ SCOPE 250 plus and MarVision QM 300 Video One-Shot Measuring Microscope With Image Processing At WESTEC 2015

Mahr Federal will feature the MarShaft™ SCOPE 250 plus, a new addition to their growing family of optical shaft measurement systems, and the MarVision QM 300 video measuring microscope with image processing capability, at WESTEC, September 15-17, 2015, Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA, Booth #1835.

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. Users can view the analog scale, numeric digital readings, or both. Display range is ±5000 µm and reading resolution 0.1 µm. The display may be adjusted to the ideal viewing angle (0º to 90º) and the C1200 unit can also be wall-mounted.

• The new Pocket Surf® IV, an updated version of Mahr Federal’s highly popular Pocket Surf portable surface finish gage. Pocket Surf portable surface finish gages have enjoyed wide popularity for more than 30 years and across many precision applications because of their exceptional utility and simple one-button operation. The new Pocket Surf IV builds on that reputation with updated electronics and additional features to keep the product current for years to come.

In addition, the following Mahr Federal products will be on display:

MaraMeter mechanical comparative gages; wireless MarCal calipers with Marcom Software; Dimensionair air gaging; and selections from Mahr Federal’s broad line of surface measuring instruments, including both portable roughness measurement devices and computer based stationary surface measuring systems. In addition to the new PocketSurf® IV, there will be the MarSurf® PS1 and a growing line of Application Specific surface measuring fixtures.

Mahr’s stationary system line includes the MarSurf XR 1, which combines mobile surface metrology with the advantages of MarWin evaluation software; and the XCR 20 MarWin, a new generation of combined roughness and contour measurement systems.

UNISIG will be exhibiting at the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show, which is being held at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario from September 28 – October 1. Located in booth #2806, UNISIG will be showcasing its broad and comprehensive line of deep hole drilling solutions and consulting with attendees on how best to incorporate deep hole drilling into their operations.

UNISIG specializes in developing comprehensive solutions for any deep hole drilling application. The company’s broad product portfolio addresses applications for any industry segment and is complemented by UNISIG’s approach of offering machinery, tooling and automation as a full turnkey solution.

“Our customers come from every area of industry and range from specialty shops that have focused exclusively on deep hole drilling to those who are just beginning to receive enough work to justify investing in a dedicated machine,” says Anthony Fettig, CEO. “We work with every customer to ensure they have the right technology for their needs and help them implement it into their production.”

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.

All UNISIG machines are engineered and manufactured in the United States with high-performance components. Upon machine installation, UNISIG provides its customers with comprehensive training that involves machine operation and process optimization, as well as attentive post-installation service and extended training.

 

About UNISIG:
Headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, UNISIG is a world leader in the manufacture of deep-hole drilling systems and technologies for precision-focused metalcutting industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy and medical. A state-of-the-art production facility and reliable network of local suppliers allow the company to design and manufacture its BTA, gundrilling, trepanning and skiving machines as well as its tooling solutions and automation in the United States.
