New
Lathe Attachment Now Offered
With Speroni STP 34 Bench Top Presetter |
| |
| ELK
GROVE VILLAGE, IL - A new lathe attachment now offered with the
popular Speroni Model STP 34 bench top high precision measuring
and presetting station can be retrofitted to a preinstalled unit. |
| |
| "Speroni
systems are configured to grow with the user. As the user's needs
change or evolve, we can add enhancements. The lathe attachment
can easily be mounted onto any STP 34 no matter the projector, vision
system or control it is using," says Douglas Sumner, BIG Kaiser
Product Manager, Tool Presetting and Measuring Systems. |
| |
| The
lathe attachment expands the capability of the Speroni tool
measurement system; so that it can be used for measuring and presetting
both traditional machining center tooling and for measuring CNC
lathe quick-change tooling. |
|
| The
optics mount can be adjusted axially +/- 4 mm (+/- .1575")
from the focal plane, allowing the correct measurement of diameter
when the cutting edge is off center. The dial indicator is centered
and can measure off-center tooling up to +/- 2.5mm (+/- .0984").
The dial indicator attachment can securely swing out of the way,
thus allowing for measurement of all other tooling without any interference.
The resolution of the dial indicator is 0.010mm (.0004"). |
|
|
| For
best results from the lathe attachment, users my want to add the
Four Position Index System and the Spindle Brake System. Custom
or standard sleeves such as an ISO 50 taper to VDI, Capto® or
KM® may also be needed, according to Sumner. |
|
| The
STP34 features an easy-to-use digital readout with a display resolution
of .001 mm (.00004"); a data memory with the capacity for 99
separate zero set points; and an RS232 port for connection to a
printer or a computer. |
|
|
| The
Speroni STP 34 provides greater stability, rigidity and resistance
to temperature expansion than other manufacturers' models. Increased
mass in both castings gives the new STP 34 greater stability. Its
guideways use an improved style of bearing for smooth movement and
precision along the Z and X axes. The system features an enhanced
optical projector. |
|
|
| The
STP 34 measures tool diameter up to 12" (304.8mm) and tool
length up to 16" (406.4"), with repeatability to plus
or minus 1.5 tenths (.00015"/0.0038mm). Its cast iron construction
provides the greatest possible rigidity. Its high precision spindle
has a maximum total runout of .0003" (.0075mm), allowing for
precise diameter measurements at any tool length. |
|
|
| The
STP 34's spindle has a gage point reference that makes it possible
to perform calibrations without a test bar. It features an extremely
smooth motion along the Z and X axes, with a simultaneous and individual
locking mechanism. Fine adjustments are provided throughout the
travel range. |
|
|
| "The
STP 34 eliminates the trial and error of tool set-up. When equipped
with either of our computer-based controls and the optional post
processor software, It is fully compatible with DNC and CIM systems
to provide first-part precision, increasing profitability by maximizing
use of machine tools for what they're made to do - cut parts,"
Sumner says. |
