New
STP 34 EzVision System Delivers
Unmatched Accuracy and T.I.R. |
| |
| ELK
GROVE VILLAGE, IL - A new STP-34 EzVision system created for Speroni
introductory level presetter users delivers unmatched accuracy and
T.I.R. (maximum .0003"/0.0076mm at 12"/300mm), with display
resolution of .001mm (.0001") for added detail, BIG Kaiser
Precision Tooling Inc. announced. |
|
| The
EzVision system's quick gage capability will measure any tool. It
manages and displays tooling and cutting edges on the same monitor
as the Speroni PC-based EzVision control. The system features one-micron
Heidenhein glass scales. Its thermo-balanced and artificially aged
pearlitic cast iron structure ensures that the equipment is fully
isostatic and will not deform or distort over time or temperature
change - a fundamental requirement in providing long-term linear
accuracy and repeatability. |
|
| Digital
tool sensing removes the potential for error inherent in manual
measurement systems. They system does not rely on the operator's
sight and judgment to focus and align tools within its optics. It
assures reproducibility of precision settings, no matter which operator
uses the instrument. |
|
| After
inserting the tooling in the STP-34 EzVision's spindle, the operator
sets maximum diameter by reading simple digital values and following
color codes on a personal computer monitor. Obtaining measurement
values is as easy as aligning the tool to the cross hairs or using
one of the custom measurement macros. The computer replaces the
digital readout used on many competing presetters, so the operator
does not have to learn to operate two sets of controls - both digital
readout and computer monitor. |
|
|
| "Digital
tool sensing is especially recommended for operations where it is
necessary to hold tighter tolerances. It provides resolution down
to 39 millionths of an inch on the diameter. It also provides consistent
readings that will not vary with each individual operator's judgment,"
says Douglas Sumner, BIG Kaiser's National Product Manager, Tool
Measuring & Presetting Systems. |
|
| The
EzVision control features a centering indicator box that is ideal
for presetting angular cuts, as in chamfering. It may also be used
to calculate nose radii and angles. |
|
|
| Episcopy
is one of the STP-34's most popular optional features. The episcopy
option provides an easy way to detect defects or deformities by
illuminating and magnifying the cutting edge. |
|
|
| The
STP-34 EzVision measures tool diameter up to 12" (304.8mm)
and tool length up to 16" (404.4mm) and delivers all the benefits
of the manual model, including repeatability to plus or minus 1.5
tenths (.00015"/0.0038mm), data memory for at least 250 zero
set points and 1,000 nominal tool dimensions. |
|
|
| The
STP 34 EzVision shares many features with other versions of the
popular Speroni STP-34. Its spindle has a gage point reference
that makes it possible to perform calibrations without a test bar.
It features fast manual axis movement (singular or simultaneous)
provided by an ergonomic handle for an extremely smooth motion along
the Z and X-axis, with a simultaneous locking mechanism. Fine adjustments
are provided throughout the travel range. |
|
|
| The
Speroni PC-based EzVision control (Windows XP™ operating system)
comes complete with VGA color monitor, mouse and keyboard. The PC
(Dell with three-year, in customer's shop warranty) is supplied
with CD ROM, 3.5' floppy drive and a hard disk for the storage of
at least 1,000 tools and 250 zero points. |
|
|
| Options
available for the STP-34 EzVision system include a spindle disc
brake system, an alphanumeric label printing kit, a spindle index
for lathe tools and post processor software that sends offsets directly
to the machining center. |
