The new version of the company’s MMQ 200 Formtester cylindricity machine with an automated T7W probing system is available. The T7W is a ±360-degree motorized by-directional probe is intended to reduce operator involvement and improve measurement capability. Complete with EasyForm Version 3.0 software, the MMQ 200 is compact, fast, easy to learn and operate and is equally at home in the metrology lab or on the shop floor, according to the company.

 

Automated Probe Positioning means an operator can put a part on the machine, walk away, and the whole measurement can be done automatically. The intuitive user interface of the software guides users through measurement setup and operation. Measurement results are immediately displayed on the screen, including 3D representation with color or grid lines providing an interactive graphic preview. Results can be printed, saved or exported for analysis in other software packages.

 

Optimized for the measure of cylindricity through rotational table axis and vertical axis integration, the machine can also perform a range of ISO and/or ASME form checks, including roundness, straightness, flatness (from a polar trace), parallelism, concentricity, coaxiality, run-out, total run-out, taper, perpendicularity, angularity, and angle sector (roundness, flatness, run-out).
