HIGH PRECISION
Absolute Quality
Provides accuracy that is unmatched by any previous general-purpose measuring machine through features that include the following:
A real-time temperature compensation system that greatly contributes to measurement accuracy; a maximum permissible length measurement error of 1.7 µm (i.e. 2 µm uncertainty for a measured length of 100 mm) guaranteeing high-accuracy measurements of the most intricate workpieces; and enhanced repeatability.
Real-time temperature compensation:
In the past, the accuracy of CMMs could not be guaranteed unless they were installed in constant temperature rooms. The temperature compensation feature guarantees accuracy under temperature conditions of 16-26 °C. This feature measures the temperature of the workpiece and that of the measuring machine, calculates what the measurement value would be at 20 °C, and outputs this value as the measurement result.
High accuracy
The CRYSTA-Apex V Series guarantees a maximum permissible length measurement error or E0, MPE, of 1.7+3L/1000 µm. Let’s consider a CMM offering E0, MPE of approximately 2.5+4L/1000 µm, which would generally be considered high-accuracy. If, for example, the required tolerance on a dimension is±0.02 mm, the uncertainty of this machine would exceed one-fifth of this value* (±0.004 mm, as shown on diagram at right) for any measured length over 375 mm. In contrast, with the V Series, the measurement uncertainty remains within one-fifth of the required tolerance for measuring lengths up to 766 mm. Although the difference in the first term accuracy specification between the two machines may seem small (a mere 0.8µm), the V Series actually offers guaranteed accuracy for more than double the measuring range.
Repetitive accuracy
To eliminate causes of dynamic error and to deliver high repeatability, data from measurements using scanning probes are processed for stabilization. The probe is kept motionless for a few seconds when its tip first contacts the workpiece, thereby ensuring that causes of dynamic errors are eliminated as much as possible and making it possible to deliver highly accurate measurement results.
HIGH SPEED
Dramatically reduces measurement time with high-speed measurements for any shape.
The V Series lets users freely set measurement paths along three-dimensional forms, enabling intricate workpieces to be measured along their curved surfaces and contours.
It also allows for high-speed measurement unaffected by processing accuracy or misregistration through real-time correction of path errors caused by differences between the workpiece and design values. The V Series, with its high drive speed and acceleration dramatically reduces the total measuring time.
Speed and acceleration to reduce measurement time
The CRYSTA-Apex V Series offers a maximum drive speed of519 mm/s and a maximum acceleration of 2,309 mm/s2.The V Series with its high drive speed and acceleration combined with measuring speeds up to 120 mm/s, significantly reduces total measuring time.
The greater the number of measurement requirements, the more time savings realized. This in turn results in a cost savings, increased inspection throughput, and more workpieces inspected thereby increasing the quality assurance.
High-speed optimal path scanning
The V Series is equipped with a measurement feature that allows users to specify scanning measurement paths(design values). This feature allows for high-speed, high-accuracy scanning by correcting dynamic errors that would otherwise be produced by acceleration and deceleration stresses.
Measurement paths can be freely specified for three-dimensional forms as well, which enables intricate workpieces to be measured by tracking precisely along their curved surfaces and contours.
Active scanning feature
Enables high-speed measurement unaffected by processing accuracy or probe path control errors while maintaining the advantages of 3D optimal path scanning measurement, by limiting discrepancies between design values and the actual workpiece.
The intricacy of some workpieces (e.g. turbine blades, fan blades, and impellers) causes their processing accuracy to fluctuate or makes them more susceptible to probe path control errors. Probe path control errors during measurement are often aborted.
The V Series enables smooth measurement of such workpieces.
DIVERSITY
Enables highly accurate and highlyefficient measurement ofworkpieces of practically any shape
The V Series lets users freely set measurement paths along three-dimensional forms, enabling intricate workpieces to be measured along their curved surface sand contours.
It also allows for high-speed measurement unaffected by processing accuracy or misregistration through real-time correction of path errors caused by differences between the workpiece and design values. The V Series, with its high drive speed and acceleration dramatically reduces the total measuring time.
Probes for Coordinate Measuring Machines
Compact high-accuracy scanning probe SP25M
The SP25M is a compact, high-accuracy scanning probe with a 25-mm outside diameter.
It is a multi-function CNC CMM probe that can collect data from not only scanning measurements (where SP25 moves while in contact with the workpiece collecting up to 10,000 points/sec) but from high-accuracy point measurements as well.
Non-contact laser probe Surface Measure
Surface Measure is a laser probe that collects coordinate values of the surface of the workpiece by moving and irradiating laser light over the workpiece.
It can quickly obtain massive amounts of 3D surface data.
Automatic probe changer ACR3
Necessary when using probes that do not support automatic stylus exchange for fully automated measurements that require changes in stylus diameter and/or length. Also necessary for fully automated measurements that require switching between contact and non-contact probes. Now with a simpler structure and increased durability, as a result of a new mechanism that uses the drive of the CNC CMM for automatic exchange.
Enables efficient, high-accuracy measurements of a wide variety of workpieces
We have many applications for the CRYSTA-Apex VSeries, such as scanning probes and non-contactprobes, that enable measurement of a wide range ofworkpieces.
Separator molds
Surface and cross-section measurements of precision molds for separator scan be conducted using a low measuring force, high-accuracy scanning probe. Three-dimensional error analysis and cross-sectional form analysis may be performed based on the obtained measurement points.
Impeller
Impellers can be measured using a highly robust non-contact laser probe that reduces multiple reflections. Just as accurate as contact probes, this probe offers high geometric reproducibility.
Motor cores
The V Series can measure the straightness, cross-sectional form, etc. of laminated motor cores. It can also conduct measurements of
three-dimensional structures, including measurements of side faces and dimensions at arbitrary heights.
Blade
The cross-section of an aircraft engine turbine blade can be measured using a compact, high-accuracy scanning probe. Even workpieces susceptible to large
errors, such as castings, can be measured quickly and reliably.
Artificial joint
Freeform surface measurement of prosthetic joints can be conducted using a compact, high-accuracy scanning probe. Three dimensional error analysis may be performed based on the obtained measurement points.
Transmission cases
Non-contact laser probes require dramatically less measurement time compared to contact (scanning) probes. Scanning at once from three directions enables simultaneous measurement of the top and side faces, which means less repositioning and efficient measurement of even the most intricate workpieces.
