MIDA WRS - THE MOST COMPACT WORLD RADIO TRANSMISSION PROBING SYSTEM

Marposs will introduce its new Mida WRS System at IMTS 2008 in booth D-4514, September 8-13, in Chicago's McCormick Place. WRS is the new Marposs touch probing system with radio transmission for world-wide use.
The applied transmission frequency band is 2.4 GHz, permitting this single system to be used in applications in most parts of the world. The spherical transmission characteristics and 15 m operating range make the WRS both flexible and powerful. The system automatically searches for the best signal among the 74 available radio channels in order to guarantee optimum communication conditions between the probe and the receiver at all times. Additional sub-channels permit the use of multiple probes on the same machine by means of a simple NC selection code.
The WRS receiver interface features a unique remote programming capability and a four-digit display, ensuring that important user messages are clear, immediate and precise and enabling the user to easily program and check the system.
As with most of the other Marposs Mida line products, the new WRS features a modular design, offering the use of different probes with exceptional repeatability of up to 0,5µm at 2 (0.5 micron at 2 Sigma), as well as high resistance against coolant and chips.
The WRS characteristics make this radio transmission probing system ideal for use on large or 5-axis machines, such as milling machines, machining centers or turning centers.
Other new products to be presented by Marposs at IMTS include the Merlin Mobile, a unique, wrist-band mounted electronic gauge computer; M3 Star ultra slim, manual snap gauge line; and several new products in the company's Mida probing line, including OGP70 optical, high precision spindle probe; Optical Twin Probe interface unit; Laser 75P programmable, non-contact tool setting system; and an improved line of Mida Arms for tool setting and breakage detection on lathes.
