probing systems for cnc machine tools

H-2000-3020-08-C Technical specifications

Probing systems for CNC machine tools

The invention of the touch trigger probe in the

early 1970s revolutionised the development of

the CMM (co-ordinate measuring machine) as

the industry standard for 3D measurement.

Although the potential for applying probe

routines on machine tools was quickly

realised, it was not until the mid-1980s and

development of more sophisticated machine

controls, that probing became adopted by the

world’s largest machine tool builders.

Historically, there had been a marked

reluctance by users of machine tools to use

probing; typical objections included “increased

cycle times” and “machine tools are for cutting

not for measuring”. Both sentiments were

largely based on misconceptions as to the

real applications and benefits of probing, and

also entrenched attitudes to improvements in

methods of machine tool operation.

Today, the acceptance of quality control in the

production environment, and drive towards

maximising machine productivity, has finally

seen probing accepted as standard practice in

the field of production engineering.

Applications

Tool setting

Using slip gauges and entering offset data

manually takes time and is prone to operator

error. Tool setting probe systems are easily

installed on machining centres and CNC

(computer numerically controlled) lathes and

allow automated operation with the following

benefits:

• Significant time savings with reduced

machine downtime

• Accurate tool length and diameter

measurement

• Automatic tool offset calculation and

correction

• Elimination of manual setting errors

• In-cycle tool breakage detection

Introduction

Part set-up

Probing eliminates the need for expensive

fixtures and manual setting with dial

indicators. Probes are spindle-mounted on

machining centres and turret-mounted on

lathes, providing the following benefits:

• Reduced machine downtime

• Automatic fixture, part alignment and rotary

axis set-up

• Elimination of manual setting errors

• Reduced scrap

• Increased productivity and batch

size flexibility

Part inspection

Spindle and turret-mounted probes can also

be used for in-cycle gauging and first-off

inspection – manual gauges rely on operator

skill and the removal of parts to CMMs is not

always practical. Benefits include:

• In-cycle part measurement with automatic

offset correction

• Increased confidence in unmanned

machining

• First-off inspection with automatic

offset update

• Reduced machine downtime from awaiting

first-off results
