Workpiece Location

Experience the precision of dynamic work offsets that adapt to your workpiece's exact location, optimizing your machining operations from the start. With our solution, you can effortlessly accommodate variances in workholding and part loading, ensuring that each piece is machined with the highest accuracy. Ideal for parts with varying stock, our technology precisely establishes datum points and aligns your workpiece, guaranteeing flawless subsequent machining processes.

  • Establish precise datum points on the workpiece
  • Dynamically adapt work offsets for optimal accuracy
  • Effortlessly accommodate variances in workholding and part loading
  • Ensure accurate alignment for varying stock conditions

Misload Detection

Ensure your machining environment is set up perfectly before operations begin, safeguarding against potential damage or machine collision. Our probing cycles meticulously verify part loading and fixture positioning, providing peace of mind that your setup is correct. This preemptive approach not only secures your machine and workpiece but also maintains the integrity of your machining process.

  • Meticulously confirm part loading and fixture positioning
  • Prevent potential damage and machine collisions

On-Machine Inspection

Enhance your machining accuracy with on-machine, in-process inspection that guarantees consistent and precise measurements, eliminating the risk of manual errors. ESPRIT's comprehensive suite of inspection routines is designed to work flawlessly across all types of CNC machines. Simply choose the geometry of the part you wish to measure, and the system intelligently selects the appropriate probing routine and settings for you. For complex 4- or 5-axis projects, ESPRIT's advanced 3+2 Probing cycles precisely adjust the part orientation using rotary axes, ensuring accurate measurements for multi-axis workpieces every time.

  • Guarantees precise and consistent measurements
  • Intelligent probing routine selection based on part geometry
  • Reduces manual measurement inaccuracies
  • Precise orientation and measurement of multi-axis workpieces

Dynamic Tool Offsets

Adapt dynamically to tool wear and ensure your critical part features are machined to exact tolerances. Our probing cycles measure remaining stock in real-time, allowing for automatic tool offset updates. This seamless adaptation ensures your machining process remains precise, even as conditions change, delivering unmatched accuracy in your final product.

  • Seamlessly adapt to tool wear for precision machining
  • Ensure exact tolerances for critical part features
  • Dynamically update tool offsets based on real-time measurements
  • Maintain precision throughout the machining process
