Enlarge the image

Marposs Mida Tool Eye^TM is a line of tool setting arms with high precision that are permanently mounted in the machine.

The application consists of a fixed base and a mobile arm. The arm is moved into the measuring position:

• by the machine operator (manual version)
• automatically, driven by a motor (electric version)

A touch probe is fitted on the mobile arm. When the arm is in the home position, the probe is inside a protective metal housing.
The flexible, modular system is easy to mount. The arm can be used on any type of machine regardless of the tool type or spindle used.

Marposs arms are supplied with an LED on the probe support which indicates when the tool has made contact with the probe stylus.

To allow the exchange of signals with the CNC, arms are connected to the machine by an E32A series electronic interface, which also supplies power to the probe.
