Probing Systems and Software for Machine Tools (Probes)
Maximize Your Machining Efficiency
Renishaw probing systems are innovative tools that enhance the efficiency of your machine tools by enabling post-machining inspection and workpiece setup. Used on CNC machining centers and lathes, these systems allow you to identify, set up, and measure parts in-cycle for adaptive machining. Additionally, they monitor surface finish and verify the dimensions of finished parts.
Integrating probing directly on the machine eliminates the need for costly manual setups and dial indicator adjustments. Mounted on the spindle in machining centers or on the turret in turning centers, Renishaw probes offer the following benefits:
- Reduced machine downtime
- Automated setup, component alignment, and rotational axis adjustments
- Elimination of manual adjustment errors
- Decreased material waste
- Increased productivity and batch size flexibility
Renishaw also provides solutions for tool setting, broken tool detection, part setting, in-cycle probing, and post-machining inspections with automatic corrective parameter updates. The result: significant cost savings and quality improvements for all machine tool applications across various industries.
Ballbar Testing
Ensure the Accuracy and Performance of Your CNC Machine Tool
Ballbar testing provides a quick and straightforward assessment of the positioning performance of your CNC machine tools. This test allows users to compare and monitor their machines’ performance according to internationally recognized standards. It also swiftly diagnoses issues that may require maintenance and identifies the sources of errors.
In theory, a perfectly performing CNC machine should trace a circle that exactly matches the programmed circle. However, in reality, factors such as machine geometry, servo control systems, and wear can cause deviations in the radius and shape of the test circle.
This is where Ballbar testing comes in. It precisely measures the actual circular path and compares it to the programmed path, providing an accurate evaluation of machine precision. This is the core principle of the telescopic Ballbar test and the QC20 Ballbar system.
Our CTA CNC technicians can quickly diagnose and resolve a range of issues, including axis backlash, poor leveling, or misalignment of axes. As a result, you will be able to provide calibration reports for your machine that meet even the most stringent aerospace standards.
TS27R Contact Tool Setting Probe
Optimize the Precision and Efficiency of Your Machine Tools
The TS27R contact tool setting probe is a compact, 3D touch-trigger tool-setting device that uses wired signal transmission. It’s designed for fast tool breakage detection and measuring the length and diameter of a wide range of tools. At CTA CNC, we stock consumables and offer a Repair By Exchange (RBE) system for the TS27R, ensuring continuous availability of your tool.
Here are a few reasons to choose the TS27R contact tool setting probe:
- Proven kinematic design for guaranteed performance
- Wired communication that resists interference, ensuring accurate measurements
- Cost-effective tool setting for all types of machining centers
- 1.00 μm 2σ repeatability for impeccable precision
- Ideal for first-time probe system installation, replacing the probe stylus, after suspected collisions, or at regular intervals to account for mechanical changes in your machine tool.
The TS27R contact tool setting probe is the perfect solution to ensure the precision and efficiency of your CNC machine tools.
