What is the pain point machine tool probe software aims to solve?
Large molds are difficult to detect
- For large and complex parts and large mold products, they are bulky and heavy, it’s difficult and offline measurement for manual inspection , and loading/unloading also difficult
- When the product is deformed after disassembly and reassembly, rework may result in machining deviations
- Traditional detection require inputting the coordinates of the measurement target point each time and recording the measurement results manually, which resulting in a high error rate
Automatic compensation is difficult to achieve
- If the workpiece contains irregular features such as curved surfaces, traditional detection methods are difficult to ensure the measurement accuracy of the workpiece’s curved surface.
- To some automation projects, it usually require automatic measurement of workpiece feature dimensions, which can automatically compensate for tool radius and length before reprocessing to ensure dimensions meet tolerance requirements
Adaptive machining
- Thin walled components such as blade discs and blades are prone to deformation
- Some 3D printed parts, welded workpieces, and other materials often have inconsistent benchmarks
- Toolpath adjustment, allowance optimization，and adaptive machining requirements
