The Mida Wireless Intuitive Probing System was designed for use with Haas CNC machining centers by Marposs Corp. The system is designed to simplify programming and execution of machine tool probing routines. The kit, which is available as a factory installed option from Haas Automation, includes a spindle probe and a wireless contact toolsetter that can be used to quickly set tool length and diameter. The Haas control includes instructions that guide the operator through the probing process. No G-code programming experience is necessary. Once all necessary information has been entered, the operator executes the probing cycle by pushing the cycle start button. The probing cycle can then be saved in memory and recalled when needed. Available probing cycles include calibration cycles for touch probes, bore and boss measurements, Web and pocket measurements, single-surface measurements, inner and outer corner measurements and more. The system is available on all new Haas machines.
