Dr. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik GmbH, a leading company in the field of complex and highly accurate optical and multisensor measurement technology, will present the 3D multisensor measuring machine PMS 600 in a 5-axis version with an extended multisensor measuring head at EMO 2025 in Hannover. 'The machine, in stable granite portal construction with the newly developed CNC rotary-tilting axis, is perfectly suited for measuring complex tools and gears. Measuring – even in close proximity to production – significantly reduces non-productive time and saves real money,' emphasizes Uwe J. Keller, Head of Marketing & Sales at Schneider Messtechnik. 'One of the highlights of the PMS 600 is the new multisensor measuring head: In addition to a high-resolution 24.6 MP CCD camera, the multisensor head with the tactile scanning probe Renishaw SP25 ensures cross-industry applicability for a variety of applications.'
The SP25 is optimally complemented by the rotary-tilting head PH10M and/or a chromatic confocal white light sensor. When the highest resolution on the smallest features is required, an additional precision optics can also be used. All sensors are mounted on separately movable drive axes, allowing for uninterrupted work with the currently active sensor. The PMS series is leading in aerospace, medical technology, electromobility, and of course among manufacturers of cutting tools.
The standard equipment of the system also includes the Virtual Zoom with a 24.6 MP camera. This ensures permanently play-free zooming and guarantees reproducible measurements. A fast measurement speed is ensured by the flash image capture during the movement of the drive axes. With a usable measuring range of 400 mm in the Z-axis, the machine always has sufficient working space and enough headroom. The new, fully integrated rotary-tilting axis mounted on the measuring table always finds the appropriate position for measuring cutting tools and gears. For this purpose, the experts at Schneider Messtechnik have optionally integrated the HAWK software from ESCO into the measurement and evaluation software SAPHIR. Through this interface, measurement orders can be sent directly from HAWK to SAPHIR. No knowledge of SAPHIR is even necessary for this. The measurement order is processed independently, and the resulting measurement data is automatically transmitted to HAWK for evaluation. This ensures seamless evaluation in protocols typical for the tool and gear industry.
One of the strengths of the PMS 600 is particularly the combination of highest measurement precision and high speed. The granite measuring tables and portals guarantee maximum stability even under extreme temperature and vibration influences and are thus ideally suited for use directly in the production hall. This is complemented by the optionally available probe cleaning station, which can be easily integrated into the program sequence. Thanks to the modular design of the measuring machine, cost-effective and customer-oriented solutions are possible. An upgrade with additional sensors is always possible. With CONFORMITY, all processes on the PMS 600 are monitored and documented via an audit trail, ensuring FDA-compliant manufacturing.
Another highlight is the option for roughness measurement in the measuring machine. As part of a joint project, Schneider Messtechnik, in collaboration with Renishaw, has integrated tactile roughness measurement into the multisensor measuring machine as well as into the company's own measurement and evaluation software SAPHIR. The new module can be swapped in via a probe changer on the SP25 platform. The scanning probe allows for reproducible form and roughness measurements. The machine enables control, measurement, and evaluation with just one software: 'SAPHIR v7 impresses with its intuitive user interface and its extensive measurement functions,' adds Uwe J. Keller. 'Thus, SAPHIR ensures a fast and reliable measurement result for every operator.'
