Showcasing Advanced Probing Technology: Metrology Resource Group and Shibaura Machine at IMTS 2024

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, August 13, 2024 - 

Dynamic part probing technology is revolutionizing CNC machine tools by providing data that enhances accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. By integrating sensors and software, this technology collects and analyzes data throughout the machining process, significantly improving precision and reducing the need for operator intervention. 

Shibaura Machine has partnered with Metrology Resource Group to develop and implement these advanced probing solutions. From radio probe systems for the vertical boring and turning mills to part measurement solutions on the horizontal boring mill machines, this collaboration has continually pushed the boundaries of machining technology. 

At the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), Shibaura Machine will showcase the vertical boring and turning mill TUE-200(S) and horizontal boring mill BTD-110S.R16 machine with these probing technologies at Booth #339424 in the South Hall. Join us to see live demonstrations and learn how these solutions can elevate your manufacturing capabilities. 

Discover the Shibaura Motorized Tool Setting Innovation at IMTS

One of Metrology Resource Group’s most significant innovations is the HPMA motorized tool setting solution for the VTL series. This advanced solution allows users to quickly and easily set tools on large VTL machines using the JOG feature, automatically updating the control tool offsets. This eliminates the need for experienced operators with macro programming skills, streamlining the process and enhancing operational efficiency.  Key benefits of the HPMA motorized tool setting solution include:

• Ease of Use: Simplifies tool setting on large VTL machines.
• Increased Efficiency: Reduces the time required for tool setting and adjustments.
• Automatic Updates: Automatically updates control tool offsets.
• Operator Independence: Eliminates the need for experienced operators with macro programming skills.
• Enhanced Precision: Improves the accuracy of tool settings.

Partnering for Excellence: Renishaw Probing Systems

Shibaura Machine’s collaboration with Metrology Resource Group and Renishaw brings the Renishaw RPM-60 inspection probe system to vertical turning lathes, horizontal boring mills, and bridge-style/double-column machines. These systems automate processes, reduce downtime and rework, and lower calibration and maintenance costs. They also improve safety and productivity by reducing manual input errors and allowing operators to focus on proactive engineering roles.
