Efficient Measurement With HyperMILL® Probing.pdf

hyperMILL® PROBING offers measurement solutions that enhance the entire machining process. It begins with work setup, involving touch probe systems for setting the machining origin and perfectly aligning the work piece. Key steps include:

- Work Setup:
- Define origin (rotational axis): Accurately adjust each axis direction using probing, ensuring precise coordinates and reducing machining errors.
- Define origin (setup position): Quickly and accurately define the work's machining origin, feeding the information to the machine control unit.

- Stock and Clamp Verification:
- Confirm material dimensions: Check the accurate dimensions of the material, considering variations from cutting, casting, or welding.
- Confirm clamps: Verify the position of clamps and the state of the material using the probe.

- In-Machine Probing:
- hyperMILL® PROBING's in-machine measurement efficiently addresses issues like incorrect clamping, inaccurate material shapes, and operator errors, reducing machine downtime.

- Mid-Process Measurement and Adjustment:
- Conduct in-process measurement after roughing or semi-finishing to detect and address dimensional errors before they become critical.

- Post-Process Quality Management:
- Measure the finished work before it's removed from the machine, comparing real dimensions to CAD geometry. This ensures early detection of issues and prevents additional measurements or rework.

- Key Features:
- Simple programming like standard machining operations.
- Supports 3-axis and 5-axis probing, including contouring movements.
- Checks for interference in all probe movements.
- Useful process control: generates measurement data for each product shape, viewable on the machine's control unit.

- Benefits:
- Improved efficiency through integrated in-process measurement.
- Reduced cycle time.
- Accelerated quality assurance processes.
- Reduced machining errors and increased reliability.
