The Mida E83 probing system with optical transmission for CNC machining centers and milling machines enables 360-degree data transmission and eliminates the need for line-of-sight mounting of transmitter and receiver. The E83WA (wide angle) transmitter may be used in multi-spindle applications.
The Mida E83 system transmits measuring data from the spindle-mounted touch probe to the machine tool CNC using an infrared signal. A modular interface unit used for decoding signals from the transmitter for use by the machine tool CNC is available in three versions to satisfy diverse installation requirements. All elements of the E83 system are designed to withstand the most difficult shopfloor conditions and their modularity allows selection of the most suitable configuration for each application. The company also offers a range of software packages for the most widely used CNCs.
