FIXTURING AND PALLETISING SYSTEMS FOR CMMs.

In order to get the best productivity out of a CMM, component fixturing is essential to speed up the loading of parts, and to enable the CMM to measure the component quickly and with acceptable repeatability. By virtue of the complexity of many of today’s manufactured components, the held part needs to be uncluttered and the holding & clamping has to be discreet, to allow the measurement probe room to obtain the maximum accessibility. The ALUMESS modular fixture system from ELEY METROLOGY is a unique solution, providing CMM users with a flexible toolbox of clamping and support components that can easily be combined to hold just about any type of part. As the system is truly modular, the user has the freedom to purchase individual items as and when they are required. The modularity of the system enables fixtures to be built in a matter of minutes. Having built a fixture, the user can easily modify or adapt the solution to suit CMM probing requirements. Once a fixture is no longer required, it can quickly be broken down, and all components can be re-used on a totally new fixture.

Laser Scanners

Available now from Eley Metrology are 3D laser scanners from KREON of France. Already compatible with Renishaw probe heads, and with an additional integrated touch probe, these are available as a retrofittable component, on bridge and horizontal arm type CMMs. Created in 1991 in Limoges, France, KREON is a pioneer in 3D non-contact measurement technology. Today, KREON TECHNOLOGIES’ offering includes complete solutions for quality control, reverse engineering, surface inspection and rapid prototyping throughout the entire design and manufacturing process for industries such as automotive, aerospace and medical. KREON products help manufacturers reduce products’ time to market and eliminate manufacturing errors, increasing productivity as well as product quality. The need to measure, to control and to quantify deviations has become critical in all stages of the product development cycle. The ever increasing complexity in shapes, the diversity of materials, the shortened deadlines for manufacturing and minimum stocks are elements which drive the demand for the optimisation of means of quality control. KREON products are designed to meet this specific industry need by offering top-quality, easy-to-use, and efficient solutions for fast inspection. Using KREON scanners, you can rapidly collect accurate point data and compare it to the CAD data to provide graphical, colour-coded visualization of deviations and make critical go/no go decisions, considerably reducing products’ time to market and engineering costs. Kreon scanners enable determination of surface quality and accuracy without damage to soft or fragile materials. Geometric inspection of features such as small holes that are difficult or impossible to measure using only a contact probe can be carried out in just minutes. This high level of accuracy is a guarantee that parts fit together perfectly, an especially important risk in assembly and welding operations. The range of Kreon scanners include the 3 different models of the Zephyr family: the KZ 25, the KZ 50, the KZ 100 scanner and the revolutionary AQUILON.

PRESETTING TOOLS FAST AND EASY

INCREASE productivity in metal cutting manufacturing by 15% annually with the NEW optical machine tool pre-setter from EZ SET. Measuring quality before you even start machining pays big dividends. It's easy with EZset tool presetters: instead of measuring your cutting tools in the machine tool you should let an EZset tool presetter do the job next to the machine. Meanwhile your CNC machine is producing without interruption. Made 100% in Germany from only locally sourced components, the practical and ergonomic design of this range of presetters incorporates a vision system, and is available in two sizes: EZset400 (X=400, Z=400) and EZset600 (X=400, Z=600). With this equipment presetting tools is simple and independent of the operator. Users can expect increased productivity in metal cutting manufacturing by 15 % p.a. and an unbeatable cost/performance ratio. The highlight is ‘Ezclick’, a unique intuitive menu operation: All the functions of the ImageController1 vision system software are selected with this turn-push-button. The tool cutting edge and the measuring menu are clearly represented on one 6.5" flat panel monitor. The automatic cutting edge shape recognition and the dynamic crosshairs make the presetting and measuring procedure easy. Integrated measuring programs determine concentricity, runout and the highest cutting edge. Other features include the machine-zero-point-monitoring function, which avoids machine crashes and the cutting edge ‘inspection-incident’ light to detect wear and break out at the tool cutting edge. With an ergonomic, compact design, user-friendly style, and a complete package - table, printer, and more. EZset: Small investment, big results!

Probes & Styli

Eley Metrology are stockists and suppliers of a comprehensive range of CMM probes and styli. We are pleased to offer advice on selection of the correct configuration for your particular machine and application. Renishaw are the world’s leading manufacturer of CMM probing systems. From simple manual probes up to motorised indexable probes and scanning systems, Eley Metrology can provide the solution for your measuring requirements. As an accredited Renishaw dealer Eley Metrology are able to provide you with the best delivery and prices – and as your metrology provider we can offer on site support for the installation and configuration of new probing systems. All Renishaw probes are fully supportable, so if you need repairs on faulty probes we can provide service/exchange models to minimise your downtime. Old and obsolete probes are upgradeable to the latest systems using advantageous upgrade terms. Choosing styli for inspection: By choosing from the comprehensive range of genuine Renishaw styli, you can be sure that the design and materials of your stylus will be optimised. However, your choice of stylus configuration can have a significant effect on the accuracy of the measurements you take.
