Title WFP/S Werth Fiber Probe on the WMS Magnetic Interface: Standardised hobbing cutter measurement with the patented Werth Fiber Probe WFP/S with Werth Magnetic Interface WMS for automatic exchange between diverse optical and tactile sensors

Competence through Innovation and Experience This edition of our newsletter "The Multisensor“ – in a new format – brings you more information about the technology and application of Werth coordinate measuring machines. The subject matter is centered on our anniversaries: 65 years of optics, 25 years of multisensor technology, and 10 years of X-ray tomography in coordinate measuring technology. These points also mirror our product highlights for 2015. The Werth QuickInspect MT is a modern successor to profile projectors and expands the measurement range and resolution limits of previous "in image"...

Edit and Test Measurement Programs in TeachEdit Mode New easy-to-use editing and testing functions have been integrated into WinWerth®'s TeachEdit mode. This replaces the former Autostep mode. The mea- surement program to be edited can be started at any point by marking the Feature Tree, or any part of the program can be run as desired. It is also possible to use only parts of an existing program to measure selected features which are highlighted afterwards. Individual elements can also be selected and measured automa- tically, for example to evaluate modifications. It is also possible to analyze...

WinWerth® 8.35 Expanded Scan Path and Point Distribution Modes for Tactile and Optical Sensors The scan path and point distribution function allows interactive, automated measurement of geometric elements. The software automatically distributes the measurement points or scan lines across the selected geometric elements. As before, the geometric element can be input by selecting it on the CAD model, or by interactively measuring the minimum number of points to define the geometric element. In addition, this can also now be defined in the "Scan path and point distribution" tool by entering parameters....

The new version of automatic point distribution is available for all sensors. For conventional scanning probes, the WFP/S and 3D-WFP Werth Fiber Probes, the WLP, WCP, CFP, LLP distance sensors and Autofocus measurement can be done in both single point and scanning mode. Analogous point distribution modes are available for the image processing sensor for measuring circles, lines and curves.

For smaller workpieces, the measuring...

Good connections Developing a Comprehensive Metrology Standard with CMM The Weidmüller company, specializing in technical connectors, is interested in shifting from manual to automated operator selfchecks. The company has therefore recently developed a standard for geometric measurement tasks and analysis on the basis of a 3D multisensor coordinate measuring machine from Werth Messtechnik, Giessen. This provides the precise, reproducible measurement results from the lab to series production. No industrial sector today can do without electronics and electrical connectors (known as "Industrial...

Filigree and sensitive components present a great challenge to metrology. Its precision and available measurement methods make the Werth ScopeCheck the ideal solution. Future-proof Metrology Because the products are becoming ever more intricate and complex, these factors must be checked and optimized on a continuous basis. One of Olaf Despang's group has been assigned the task of ensuring that the metrology used at Weidmüller is future-proof. "Our structure is set up with what we call quality stations in individual production areas, in addition to a central metrology lab. The workers themselves...

An extensive market analysis was performed prior to the purchase of the new measurement equipment. All our quality centers helped to develop the specification and jointly defined the requirements for functionality, precision, and measurement range. Olaf Despang summarizes, "We looked very meticulously at various providers and ultimately selected Werth. Our previous experience certainly played a role in this decision. Werth has been represented with a VideoCheck measuring machine in our central measurement lab in Detmold for several years." The high level of measurement accuracy that this machine...

The fine components need to meet tolerances that can be as small as ± 20 µm. This requires the measuring machine to have a precision range of no greater than 2 µm. Rosario Orovero confirms: "The ScopeCheck meets this specification, which is needed for our products. Werth has even more precise machines available in the VideoCheck series, but they would have been overqualified for our production area application." Shorter Inspection Times The 3D multisensor coordinate measuring machine also has many benefits for measurement tasks at the quality station, such as measuring the flatness of large plastic...
