44 Products & Services Windows 7–Style User Interface Makes CMM Software for Tactile Inspection Fast, Intuitive Economical CMM-Manager 3.0 for Windows 7 tactile inspection software from Nikon Metrology N.V. runs on nearly all CNC and manual coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Its modern and intuitive Windows 7 graphical interface makes the software highly informative and interactive. CMM-Manager automates serial inspection, but it also can save money by making it easy to take a few points on the spot. When combined with the Renishaw PH20 5-axis probe head, this version accelerates inspection jobs considerably. In CMM-Manager 3.0 for Windows 7, the dashboard has been upgraded with intuitive new icons and with a ribbon bar–style layout. The new version also incorporates touch-screen and multitouch support, plus intuitive navigation paths. The user can simply Big energy savings in machining operations can be achieved with integrated tooling solutions offered by Mapal Präzisionswerkzeuge Dr. Kress KG. In one application involving the manufacture of automotive gearboxes, for example, enhanced tooling from Mapal resulted in a company saving more than 8,500 kWh per year, equivalent to the emission of 4.9 tonnes of CO 2 . For that manufacturer, Mapal developed a combination tool that machined seven different features and replaced four separate tools that previously walk up to the CMM, quickly align the part, and immediately measure geometric features and points on planes. When CAD is available, snap point measurements can be taken on the screen—manually probing the workpiece is unnecessary—and dimensional charts with colour-coded point deviations automatically created. A serial inspection routine that runs on any brand of CMM is easy to pro- were employed. Its introduction eliminated 388 hours of machine running time annually. Mapal’s integrated tools allow several bores, chamfers and flat surfaces to be machined completely in a single operation. This typically means that four or more tool changes can be eliminated, that machining cycles can be dramatically shortened, and, consequently, that the machining centre’s energy consumption for the particular project can be reduced by a considerable amount. Mapal also delivers energy savings by providing tools that duce with CMM-Manager 3.0 for Windows 7. In addition, automated inspection results in graphical part-to- CAD comparison. The software operates on a PC or laptop running a Microsoft Windows 7 32- or 64-bit operating system. The PH20 probe head that this version of CMM- Manager supports provides fast, infinite rotary positioning for highspeed point measurement with minimal CMM movement. It brings 5-axis inspection capability to smaller CMMs by optimizing the working volume of the measurement platform. » Nikon Metrology N.V. Leuven, Belgium www.nikonmetrology.com Integrating Tool Technologies Leads to Energy-Efficient Machining and Time Savings accommodate higher feed speeds. For example, the Mega-SpeedDrill and the FeedPlus multitooth reamer typically cut machining times in half. Higher speeds are very energy efficient, especially in machining large workpieces and when lightweight tools with optimized cutting-edge geometries are used. In addition, minimum-quantity lubrication and dry-cutting techniques supported by Mapal technology can provide even greater energy savings, as they eliminate the need for electrically driven coolant systems. » Mapal Präzisionswerkzeuge Dr. Kress KG Aalen, Germany www.mapal.com European Tool & Mould Making | May 2011 | www.etmm-online.com
