High-Speed 5-Axis CMM with Cobot Integration at EASTEC
May 15, 2025Helmel Engineering will be featuring the MICROSTAR 320-185 HS CMM with Cobot integration at EASTEC booth #3125, this allows for automated, high-speed part inspection.
The MICROSTAR 320-185 HS CMM has been developed by Helmel to take advantage of the high performance PH20 5-axis probe. The system is an evolution of Helmel's Microstar CMM series of all-mechanical bearing machines with intrinsic mechanical accuracy. It features the PH20 infinite positioning probe concept that combines true 5-axis motion capabilities with autonomous head-tap measuring, allowing access to tight spaces and precise measurement of many features with the head only while the CMM remains stationary.
The 320-185 HS includes Renishaw's UCCT5 5-axis controller and MCUlite-2 joystick. Scale resolution is small at 0.000002" (0.05 µm). The drive system is upgraded with strong motors and tachometers for rapid and crisp motion and with tuned motion parameters. A taller Z-axis travel gives the probe more operating space, and extra Y-axis travel leaves room for calibrations and automatic stylus changing.
"The 320-185 HS is all about speed," said a company spokesperson. "It is capable of increasing throughput 2-3x over conventional CMM inspection cycles. It is like getting two CMMs for the price of one. The system is suited to factory floor applications."
The system includes:
• CMM manager standard CAD DCC software system
• DXF, IGES and STEP included
• TCR20 six-port stylus change rack
• Two additional stylus modules
• Rolling side cabinet for controller and high-performance PC
• ø1" calibration sphere with certification
• Starter stylus kit and widget training part.
EASTEC 2025 will be May 13-15, 2025 at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA.
