The STP Milly comes standard as a CNC system and is available in two sizes, 500 mm (20") diameter by 500mm (20") height and 500mm (20") diameter by 1,100mm (44") height.

The STP Milly's thermo-balanced and artificially aged pearlitic cast iron structure provides exceptional stability, rigidity, and resistance to temperature expansion to ensure that the equipment is fully isostatic and will not deform or distort over time or temperature change. This provides for added precision to measurements and increased durability. The hardened and precision ground guideways and
increased bearing surface of the STP Milly provide smooth movement and precision along the X- and Z- axes.

When users combine the STP Milly with Speroni B@ncaDatiInternet (BDI) software for the creation of custom inspection cycles for any standard tool, and the Speroni Vision System (SVS), they can easily achieve inspection certification of large milling cutters. The STP Milly is also able to preset, measure, inspect and certify standard tooling. Tool measurement on the STP Milly is as simple as pressing just one function key, minimizing possible operator errors.

Like its predecessors, this new Speroni precision tool presetting and measuring system covers the entire field of sophisticated CIM applications, including flexible manufacturing systems and manufacturing cells. Standard features of the new STP Milly include:

• A simultaneous-fit, quick-change tooling adapter system that eliminates
tolerance stacking for multiple tool solutions and allows an operator to change adapters in under eight seconds. It has a pneumatically activated retention knob clamping system capable of clamping any standard size retention knob. The STP Milly also allows for the clamping of HSK tooling as well, applying a draw force of about 600 lbs. The STP Milly has an adapter mount repeatability of .0005 mm (.000019"), ensuring maximum concentricity with minimum total run-out.

• Fast manual access movement (singular or simultaneous) provided by an ergonomic handle for an extremely smooth motion along the X- and Z- axes, with a simultaneous locking mechanism.

With upfront controls, the machine layout is intuitive, so operators have a clear field of view of both monitors and never have to leave their chair to access any of the CNC controls. A captain style chair is included with the machine.

Speroni's SVS true vision system with its proprietary sub-pixel analysis software provides resolution of less than 0.000039" (1 micron). The SVS features an acquisition speed five times faster than other optical tool inspection systems.

Speroni PC-based tool management Data Bank (BDI), complete with two 19" monitors, mouse and keyboard. Brand name PCs come with the original manufacturer's three-year warranty. By pressing a "measure" button, the system will automatically measure the tool tip and/or the complete tool geometry and print a customizable inspection certificate. This can all be done without human intervention.

Milling certification and set-up is part of an optional software package. This powerful software package provides a picture guided, user-friendly programming wizard. The software package allows for the most accurate and repeatable way to inspect and preset milling or standard cutters.

Optional Episcopy front light with adjustable light source intensity that allows manual inspection of the "front" of the tool tip/insert for detecting wear and/or cracks.

A high precision vertical rotating spindle assembly that helps provide a maximum total run-out of .003 mm (.0001") @ 300mm (12") regardless of the holder type (ISO, HSK, etc.).

The STP Milly comes ready with a fork truck-ready base for easy positioning of the system on any shop floor.
