Tasks that were previously reserved for contour measuring instruments can be solved by the Werth Contour Probe on the multi-sensor coordinate measuring machine. For the first time, the tactile-optical contour probe enables tactile contour measurement in defined workpiece coordinates. In contrast to classic contour measuring instruments, the special guideway system of the WCP allows scanning in any cross section without preferred direction.
• Roughness can also be measured CNC-controlled and contours can be scanned in the workpiece coordinate system without reclamping the workpiece
• Roughness values can be calculated according to standards with the help of the roughness library integrated in the WinWerth® measurement software
• The sensor can be replaced CNC-controlled via a changing rack
Accuracy
Permissible probing error up to 2 µm
Functionality
With the tactile-optical contour sensor, a laser distance sensor a) (b) magnetic interface, c) mirror, d) bearing) is used to measure the deflection of the contour probe tip e) while scanning the workpiece surface f).
