| New
Speroni STP Milly Precision Tool Presetter Ergonomically Designed
To Inspect Large Face Milling Cutters |
| |
| ELK
GROVE VILLAGE, IL - A new Speroni precision tool presetting
and measuring system, STP Milly, has been developed for inspection
and presetting of large face milling cutters as well as standard
tooling, BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc., announced. |
|
|
| Speroni
designed the STP Milly for ergonomical front operation, a front
armrest enhances ease of use. It features complete CNC-controlled
3-axis movement for automatic and operator-independent operation
that will ensure unmatched repeatability and accuracy. Its positioning
accuracy is 1 micron (0.000039"). |
|
| 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. This ensures that the equipment is fully
isostatic and will not deform or distort over time or temperature
change. Isostatic benefits include added precision to measurements
and increased durability. Its hardened and precision ground guideways
and increased bearing surface provide smooth movement and precision
along the X- and Z- axes. |
|
| When
users combine the STP Milly with Speroni B@ncaDatiInternet (BDI)
and Speroni Vision System (SVS) software they can easily achieve
inspection certification of large milling cutters as well as standard
tooling by pressing just one function key. The fully automatic inspectiton
cycle minimizes 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. 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 close to 600 lbs.
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. |
|
·
Upfront controls and intuitive layout, 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 package. This powerful software package
provides picture guided, user-friendly programming wizard allowing
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 provides
a maximum
total run-out of .003 mm (.000117") @ 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. |
|
|
| "The
inspection process is the most secure on the market today, because
it does not require any operator intervention. Users appreciate
the "friendliness" of the system, however, both in the
programming phase via a short and essential mistake-free picture-guided
wizard and in the eventual adjustment and set-up phase," says
Andrea Speroni, president, S.p.a. America. |
|
|
| The
standard digital tool sensing feature removes the potential for
error inherent in manual measurement systems. The STP Milly is not
reliant on the operator's eyesight and judgment to focus and align
tools within its optics. Digital tool sensing assures reproducibility
and precision settings, no matter which operator uses the instrument. |
