Benchtop CNC vision system

The AVR400 CNC vision system is a benchtop platform with stage travel of 15.8" x 11.8" x 7.9" (400mm x 300mm x 200mm) in the X, Y, and Z axes with a speed up to 120mm/sec. It offers full CNC capabilities including X-Y-Z positioning and several zoom and telecentric lens options. Users can also choose motorized manual positioning via a pendant with a joystick and trackball.

The system features automatic part recognition, enabling creation of a part management program from the desired features of a part for inspection. Programmable light output options can be built into the program as defined steps, including being called up as the part recognition program initiates. Once the program is created, placing that part within the camera’s field of view allows the saved program to initiate and run. A Renishaw touch probe can also be used for quick acquisition of discrete points along a part’s profile and Z-axis measurements.

The AVR400 is equipped with the M3 software package from MetLogix and includes both a touchscreen and a traditional mouse. The system’s built with a granite base for high stability and offers a line of accessories including a modular system workstation on rolling caster wheels.

Cut-off system for small parts machining

The KGZ series cut-off system is made for small parts machining, featuring a body and clamp design for stable machining and to minimize chatter, improving surface finish and delivering more consistent tool life. Designed to boost efficiency, the KGZ series offers fast and secure insert installation, making it easier for operators to manage tooling without extensive downtime.

The inserts feature PR20 series coating technology for grooving and cut-off applications and are engineered to be more resistant to wear in a variety of materials, reducing the frequency of tool changes for a smoother, uninterrupted machining process. Users can select from four chipbreaker options for low- to high-feed machining or the sharp edge style for low cutting forces. The KGZ series comes in a variety of holder sizes with direct-to-turret, jet coolant-through styles available.
