VideoCheck® Fixed Bridge Machines Dual Ram Now Available for HA Versions of Large Measurement Ranges
The Werth VideoCheck® FB, with a fixed
bridge and dual ram, is now available in
an HA version for larger measurement
range (image page 2). The multisensor
coordinate measuring machine has a
measurement range up to 1000 mm x
2000 mm x 800 mm (X,Y,Z). The construction
principle provides a double
benefit. The shorter span in the X direction
means that the bridge is shorter
and thus more stable. The machine is
also easily accessible and can be loaded
from four sides. The proven dual ram
concept is used primarily for large
workpieces and with a rotary / tilt axis
to avoid collisions.
The Werth VideoCheck® FB HA is
specified comparable to ISO 10360
and VDI/VDE 2617. Under good measurement
lab conditions, the maximum
permissible error, MPE E, is (0.95 + L /
600) µm using the SP80 probe system.
The granite table with air bearings can
maintain the specified maximum permissible
error while supporting up to
100 kg, or optionally up to 250 kg. For
measurements on especially heavy
workpieces, it is possible to remove the
transmitted light unit.
The two ceramic rams can be equipped
with a wide range of sensors. For example,
the SP80 tactile sensor and a
rotary / tilt PH10 head with the SP25
probe may be exchanged on the same
ram, while the second ram is equipped
with optical and tactile-optical sensors.
