Measurement and Alignment Systems

Measuring and alignment systems for compation and machining processes

The use of reference clamping systems for machining processes and the pressing of metal and ceramic powders result in a significant increase in productivity and quality. At the same time, the demands on tool, press and adapter accuracy and on the accuracy of the alignment of reference clamping systems to each other are increasing.

A range of measuring and alignment systems guarantees increased accuracy requirements and easy access to pressing and machining processes with reference clamping systems.

MAS-xi Multi Axial Measurement System

MAS-xi

High-precision electronic measurement technology

The signals from the high-precision electronic sensors are digitized and evaluated and logged by the software.

Intelligent measuring concept

Flexible adaptation to the multiaxial pressing tool thanks to the sliding and rotating unit.

User-friendly software

Intuitive menu-guided operation enables simple graphical display of the measurement and alignment results of multiaxial tools.

Measuring and referencing of multiaxial compaction tools for closed, open and splitted dies

Reference method for different tool concepts

User-friendly software

  • Intuitive and menu-guided operation
  • Graphical reference navigation
  • No reading errors or operating errors

Intelligent measuring concept

  • Measuring system can be set to any arrangement of the transverse axes
  • Optional lateral displacement unit allows measurement and adjustment of transverse axes that run off-center
  • Can be indexed by 90° via the indexing function of the pallet in the chuck
  • Any angular arrangement can be set using the optional stepless rotation module

Benefit

  • Reduction of the referencing effort to a few minutes
  • Maximization of pressing quality thanks to the adjustability of the cross pressing punch and die segments in the range of +/- 1µm
  • Precise positioning enables the pressing of the most complex geometries
  • Reduction of tool breakage or damage
