MIDA OGP70 - ULTRA HIGH PRECISION OPTICAL SPINDLE PROBE

Marposs will introduce its new Mida OGP70 optical spindle probe for use in very high precision machining centers and milling machines at IMTS 2008 in booth D-4514, September 8-13, in Chicago's McCormick Place.
The new ultra high precision OGP70 optical spindle probe has unidirectional repeatability of 0.1 micron, which is ten times better than conventional touch-trigger probes and sets a new historical reference in measurement on machine tools.
In the OGP70 unit, the probe is integrated in the transmitter module while measurement data are wirelessly transmitted to the CNC via wireless receiver and interface. The OGP70 touch probe has 360˚ transmission for activation and deactivation and offers a wide transmission angle for easy installation on a broad range of machine tools. Either of three interface types—RS232, Ethernet or digital I/O—may be used for connecting the Mida OGP70 optical spindle probe to the machine CNC.
Other new products to be presented by Marposs at IMTS include the Merlin Mobile, a unique, wrist-band mounted electronic gauge computer; M3 Star ultra slim, manual snap gauge line; and several new products in the company's Mida probing line, including WRS world radio transmission probing system; Optical Twin Probe interface unit; Laser 75P programmable, non-contact tool setting system; and an improved line of Mida Arms for tool setting and breakage detection on lathes.
