Optical Measuring System for Turned Workpieces
The MarShaft Scope Plus from Mahr Federal is a high-precision, fully automatic optical measuring system for dimensional testing of turned workpieces that is said to be twice as accurate as its previous version.
The MarShaft Scope Plus from Mahr Federal is a high-precision, fully automatic optical measuring system for dimensional testing of turned workpieces that is said to be twice as accurate as its previous version. The 2+L/ 125-micron error limit for measuring length and diameter enables high-precision measurements on turned workpieces that typically could not be measured on optical systems, the company says.
The system also includes a new MarWin-based controller and system architecture for increased capability. The EasyShaft operating software with touchscreen facilitates easy and quick measurements with selectable feature icons, and high-level script programming available through the optional ProfessionalShaft software enables virtually unlimited customization. Intelligent multi-touch gestures are built into the touchscreen, including “pinch to zoom” and the ability to move the camera view around the machine with a flicking gesture across the screen.
