In the era of Industry 4.0, precision plays a crucial role in modern manufacturing, as it ensures the production of high-quality, defect-free components while minimizing waste and optimizing resource efficiency. Recognizing this impactful significance, MEGATech proudly introduces the Mitotoyo MiSTAR 555, a cutting-edge CNC CMM machine designed to bring precision in manufacturing to a new level.
Environment-Resistance Feature
Mitutoyo MiSTAR 555 is a contamination-resistant coordinate measuring machine due to its environment-resistant absolute scale and revamped body structure, making it highly reliable as a result of real-time temperature compensation technology that guarantees accuracy over a wide range of temperature, where it delivers a length measurement error of just E0,MPE of 2.2 + 3 L / 1000 m*2 . It is a precision measuring technology, in three dimensions, highlighting its advanced abilities to deliver instant accessibility, operational efficiency, and intelligent monitoring, making it ideal for shop-floor environments.
One of the advanced features of the MiSTAR 555 is its accuracy-guaranteed temperature range of 10 to 40°C, achieved as a result of body architecture designed with temperature traceability in mind, as well as due to the combination of technologies, such as a symmetric structure, uniform material construction, and temperature compensation. The real-time workpiece temperature compensation makes temperature stabilization unnecessary, enabling installation in a wider range of temperatures in comparison to the conventional CMM machines, substantially reducing the running costs in turn as temperature-controlled environment and air supply facilities are not required.
Usability
Additionally, usability is offered due to the adoption of a horizontal-arm structure providing a three-sided open architecture while securing ample measuring range of 570 (X) x 500 (Y) x 500 (Z) mm. It significantly eases the task of moving workpieces on and off the measuring table in comparison to a bridge or gantry design. This user-friendly design not only improves accessibility but also reduces setup time, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing the operator’s workload. This user-friendliness feature enables MiSTAR 555 to be especially on shop floors and areas where workspace is often limited.
Moreover, MiSTAR 555 is equipped with a touch panel, Quick Launcher, which enables simple and intuitive operation for easy part program execution, as well as improves operability, allowing anyone to easily execute part programs. Additionally, it comes with the optional clamping system and pallet receiver with positioning mechanism, allowing measuring to be started just by placing the workpiece on the measuring table, reducing the efforts of workpiece positioning.
Smart Factory
Lastly, monitoring in real time is enabled, from status management to preventive maintenance, thereby realizing a non-stop system. The status monitor enables the user to centrally monitor the operational status of coordinate measuring machines connected to a network, along with other measuring machines on the network. “Visualizing the operational status” allows waste to be reduced and operating ratio of production facilities to be improved. Preventive measures, on the other hand, are enabled through the constant collection of coordinate measuring machine status information, such as the probe touch count and total distance traversed by each moving element along each axis, thereby achieving a non-stop production facility.
In conclusion, the Mitutoyo MiSTAR 555 is a groundbreaking solution that brings unparalleled precision, efficiency, and adaptability to modern manufacturing. Its advanced features, from environmental resistance to on-line visualization, make it a vital tool for Industry 4.0. The MiSTAR 555 is an epitome of Mitutoyo’s commitment to innovation, setting a new standard for excellence in precision measurement.
