Cylinder CMMs for Complex Symmetrical Workpieces



Mahr Inc. has announced the Mar4D PLQ 4200 line of cylinder CMMs. This solution offers workpiece flexibility and multisensory technology, making it suited for a wide range of applications.

The Mar4D PLQ 4200 operates at high speed, providing fast, precise measurement results for complex rotationally symmetrical workpieces. Its measuring solution accommodates workpieces with a diameter of up to 210 mm/8.3", a length of up to 1,000 mm/39.4" and a maximum weight of 50 kg/110 lbs. The machine's robust design helps ensure 3D measurements directly in the production environment, resulting in shorter throughput times, increased flow rate and improved productivity.

Featuring an optional centering and tilting table, the Mar4D PLQ 4200 offers fully-automated, CNC-controlled alignment to correct workpiece alignment errors. This enables the operator to precisely measure workpieces that are not manufactured and measured between centers, using optical and/or tactile methods, in the shortest amount of time and with a part alignment accuracy of 1 micron/0.000040" of residual eccentricity. In addition, with the use of the proven form probe system T7W and/or Renishaw Sp25-2/5 3D probe systems, it is possible to measure ODs and IDs to form tester tolerances. The complete measurement of keyways, bores and other 3D features is possible.

Multisensor technology combines optical and tactile metrology and covers a wide range of dimensional measuring tasks. This allows users to inspect features such as length, diameter, form, position, contour, roundness, roughness or 3D geometries (e.g., symmetry) in a single measuring run-close to production and reproducible in one system. With its specially developed control architecture, the Mar4D PLQ 4200 works quickly and with optimum axis accuracy, even with small tolerances.

The Mar4D PLQ 4200 also features:

  • A motorized tailstock with clamping force and slip monitoring to help ensure fast fixing and alignment of the workpieces without operator influence
  • Monitoring systems in the machine detect and compensate for external influences such as temperature and vibration in real time
  • Ergonomic and safety-focused design for user-friendly operation
  • Future-proof combined measuring technology featuring optical and tactile solutions in one machine
  • MarWin software that evaluates measurement data and helps ensure reproducible quality statements.
