On-Machine Measurement
On-Machine probe and laser measurement systems increase productivity by inspecting parts, compensating for work piece variances, and qualifying tools (tool setting) with minimal or no operator intervention.
On-Machine Measurement Installation
CNC Engineering has installed thousands of On-Machine Measurement systems throughout North America. In 2009, we were recognized as the exclusive Northeast Renishaw Distributor Integrator (RDI).
Our turnkey On-Machine Measurement packages include hardware, interface unit, software, professional installation, and thorough training; tailored to meet your needs.
Improper installation can cause unexpected machine downtime or bad measurements for a number of reasons. Below are some examples of the high standards CNC Engineering applies to all of our On-Machine Measurement system integrations:
Wiring
Wires and cables are run within machine electrical troughs or conduit and properly grounded to prevent the chance for erroneous probe triggers or electrical shorts.
Cable Terminations
Wires and cables are terminated on labeled terminal blocks.
Wire nuts or butt splices are never used.
Interface Modules
Interface modules are always secured to a panel and never placed on the cabinet floor where chips and tools can cause an electrical short.
Additional Services
Custom Macro Programming
Custom macro programming allows you to automate machine tool operations beyond the capabilities of traditional G-code programming. Custom macro programming is also the backbone of any high-level automated probing solution for CNC machine tools.
The application engineers at CNC Engineering, Inc. have decades of experience with custom macro programming. Our in-depth knowledge allows us to create macro programs that can:
- Reduce set-up time
- Reduce part-to-part load time
- Improve part inspection
