Unlock the potential of our Analyzer Series, offering comprehensive measurement and diagnostics for your machine tool. With unparalleled power and flexibility, you can perform user-defined machine analysis tailored to your specific needs. Achieve accuracy from microns to nanometers and execute complex measurements in minutes.
Ensure the positioning accuracy of your machine's linear axes with our Position Inspector measuring system. Overcome common challenges associated with laser interferometers, such as time-consuming measurements and lack of automation. Our Position Inspector provides a rapid, automatic method for calibration, following international standards (ISO 230). Benefit from instantaneous qualification of tool positioning accuracy, high-performance measurement with 0.2 μm resolution, and full measurement of X, Y, and Z axes within 5 minutes. With machine-specific threshold values, you can easily detect when the machine is out of tolerance and take preventive action. The Position Inspector also supports predictive maintenance scheduling, automated compensation tables, and compatibility with 3, 4, and 5-axis machines.
When you require in-depth analysis and diagnostics for your machine tool's linear axes, the Position Analyzer is the perfect solution. It complements the Position Inspector with its ability to adapt to machine size or layout variations. Benefit from rapid measurements, sub-micron accuracy, and the ability to measure unique machine characteristics using alternative artifacts and orientations. With the Position Analyzer, you can determine machine volumetric positioning accuracy, measure position and straightness errors simultaneously, and create custom measurement protocols for in-depth machine characterization. Its ease of use, measurement according to ISO standards, and portability make it a complete solution for your needs.
Qualifying the performance of 5-axis machines has never been easier with the Rotary Inspector measurement system. Step into the future of machine inspection, where the true dynamic errors of rotary axes are revealed. Move beyond static touch probe measurements and laborious laser measurements. With our fully automated Rotary Inspector, measuring the actual tool path takes less than a minute. Gain invaluable insights into controller settings, dynamic instabilities, and bearing performance issues, ensuring optimal performance of your machine. The digital quality report generated instantly includes essential quality figures (KPIs) for machine geometrical and dynamic errors, empowering you with actionable data for continuous improvement. Monitor error development over time, detect thermal distortion, and assess the immediate effects of maintenance actions. The Rotary Inspector offers a comprehensive solution for measuring 5-axis dynamic performance, providing you with unmatched efficiency and accuracy.
For comprehensive analysis and diagnostics of 5-axis machine tools, the Rotary Analyzer is the ultimate choice. As a sister product to the Rotary Inspector, this tool is designed to meet the demands of machine-specific tests and in-depth analysis. Enjoy the same rapid measurement and sub-micron accuracy of the Rotary Inspector, combined with the flexibility to perform user-defined tests, including ISO standard measurements. Whether you need static or dynamic measurements, the Rotary Analyzer delivers precise results in minutes. Leverage our suite of analysis options to gain a profound understanding of your machine's performance. Machine tool developers and professional maintenance providers can now quantify multi-axis machine performance in real time, with custom-developed acceptance tests and hassle-free measurements.
The Integrated Spindle Inspector offers accuracy, speed and an intelligent measurement solution easily integrated into your spindle and your control systems. By directly integrating the data into a control system, real-time monitoring of spindle performance is possible, allowing immediate detection of any deviations or abnormalities. The inspection system automatically adjusts or compensates for variations in spindle performance. With sensors integrated into the spindle itself, it measures machine spindle run-out in the X, Y, and Z directions simultaneously. It has a high-speed data acquisition rate of 15kHz and a sub-micron resolution of 65 nm, ensuring reliable detection of even the smallest errors. The sensors are resistant to contaminants, can withstand pressures up to 5 bar, and temperatures up to 125°C. The system can detect issues like swarf, vibration, thermal changes, and bearing problems, and offers flexibility with options for 1, 3, or 5 integrated sensors.
IBS offers two complementary Spindle Analyzer systems:
Spindle Check Analyzer (SCA)
The Spindle Check system is designed to determine critical performance parameters, such as radial and axial error motions, thermal drift, and distortion, for high-end manufacturing applications. It employs state-of-the-art sensor technology and user-friendly software to provide accurate performance data, allowing direct linkage to part tolerances. With a simple installation and lightweight portable design, it is suitable for use across the shop floor. It enables tracking and control of spindle performance data, identification of critical parameters, and easy comparison of spindles on multiple machines.
Spindle Error Analyzer (SEA)
For machine tool builders or other expert users, the Spindle Error Analyzer is a trusted solution for assessing spindle accuracy and performance, offering high-performance non-contact measurements with sub-nanometer resolution and compliance with ISO230 standards. It provides advanced analysis capabilities for optimizing spindle design, troubleshooting complex issues, and ensuring machine acceptance.
Don't waste time with machine qualification methods that are complex to set up and take a lot of time to execute. Our solutions offer micron-level accuracy in just minutes. With options for measuring linear axis, rotary axis, and spindle accuracy, as well as compensation for linear and rotary axes, you can trust our products to provide unparalleled precision and speed. Effortlessly measure, control, and qualify the 3D dynamic movement of your machine, ensuring precise geometric behavior across the XYZ axes in a matter of minutes.
