In process measurement on lapping/microfinishing machine

The need for efficient production cycles, optimised machining times, and increased productivity, coupled with the quality demanded by the modern market, mean that grinding processes require highly accurate control and measurement instruments. Marposs, the world leader in this sector, offers solutions for every type of grinder.

Conditions:

• Aggressive working environments
• Limited access to monitored surfaces
• Delicate measurement surfaces
• Large number of measurements to be monitored simultaneously
• The machine requires numerous correction siganls
• Measurement synchronisation modes

Solution:

MEASUREMENT HEADS mounted on the machine and connected to an instrument that processes and displays the signals. Dedicated solutions are available for the various machine types and part manoeuvring systems. The measurement system does not affect the state of the measured part surfaces.

All mechanical components are designed to operate in the machining area in direct contact with refrigerants and other aggressive agents.
All electronic units are sealed so that they can be used safely in workshop environments.

Benefits:

• Masked control cycle times
• Guarantees that the finished part size tolerances are within the required limits
• Automatic cycle management, without the need for supervision or any action on the part of the operator
• No loss of productivity over time
