Coordinate measuring machine touch probe changing system SENMATION

automated

Offering fully-automatic sensor exchange within a part program, the SENMATION universal sensor interface transforms your coordinate measuring machine (CMM) into a multisensor inspection device capable of completing the most intricate measurement challenges. SENMATION adds flexibility to your metrology setup, ensuring the most effective measurement method can be selected at all times to deliver the best possible results in the most efficient way – with no user intervention required. SENMATION is a universal sensor interface system that enables easy exchange of sensing technology. With seamless shifts between inspection methods, it allows you to utilise both tactile and optical sensors within the same measurement program to ensure the right type of sensor is used for every feature of the workpiece. Integrated directly into the CMM quill, SENMATION uses a sophisticated probe recognition system to quickly identify and check the status of the loaded sensor. With no need to recalibrate after exchange, the system delivers smooth changes and fast measurement operations. A universal sensor switch and intelligent sensor module mean that SENMATION can accept all common sensor types, while the scalable nature of the system means that additional sensors can be integrated in future.
