Solution Proposal from Mitutoyo

Are You Satisfied with Your In-Line Measurement System for Mass Production?

　-In-line CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine　MACH-3A

In the past, the standard approach to measurement in manufacturing involved removing the workpiece from the production line and sending it to an inspection room, where a specialist would conduct the measurements.

 

However, with the growing emphasis on production efficiency and workforce optimization, there's been a shift towards integrating measuring equipment directly into the production line, automating the entire process. Are you facing challenges in your mass production operations? Mitutoyo’s in-line CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine offers cutting-edge solutions, designed to meet the demands of today’s evolving manufacturing landscape.

Measurement Challenges:

• There are temperature fluctuations on-site, which can skew measurement accuracy.

• We want to boost production, but measurement time is a bottleneck in the process.

• Unplanned machine failures can cause production line stoppages.
  

 

Temperature Conditions On-Site can Cause Variations in Measurement Results

 

While measuring machines are typically designed to operate at around 68°F (20°C), maintaining this temperature on the shop floor can be challenging. Do you have this issue?

 

The MACH-3A features a real-time temperature compensation function, as well as a temperature compensation origin setting.

 

This allows it to adapt to on-site temperature fluctuations. Moreover, accuracy is guaranteed across a temperature range of 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C).

 

The MACH-3A has the highest throughput among 3D measuring machines which shortens measurement time!

 

The MACH-3A outperforms its class in driving speed, acceleration (11,882 mm/s²), and measurement speed (30 mm/s). With this Coordinate Measuring Machine, you can significantly reduce measurement cycle time.

 

With the Coordinate Measuring Machine, measurement cycle time can be shortened.

Below is an example comparing standard 3D measuring equipment to the MACH series—measurement time has been cut by about half.

Starting with Visualization, from Condition Management to Preventive Maintenance

 

For managers, it can be nerve wracking to stop production due to an unexpected failure of your measuring equipment.

 

The MACH-3A visualizes the condition of the measuring machine such as driving distance of the equipment and the number of probe inputs.

 

With the Condition Monitor, measures can be taken before a failure occurs.
