Messprogramme mit Excel verwalten

| Marketing Team

Das Messen einer selbst sehr großen Vielfalt an Werkstücken muss nicht zwangsläufig mit einem hohen Programmieraufwand einhergehen. Wie es einfach und schnell geht, zeigt ein Software-Projekt, das Mahr bei einem österreichischen Hersteller für standardisierte Maschinenelemente (Normteile) umgesetzt hat.

The initial situation was that the customer had around 4,000 different but similar rotationally symmetrical standard parts with a MarShaft Scope 750 plus. In theory, this would have required 12,000 MarWin EasyShaft programs. However, the software specialists at Mahr found another solution with the help of Excel.

Parameterized programs

And this is how it works: The customer already had a database with the measured values of the 4,000 components. This database was read out via Excel as a table of workpiece characteristics. At the same time, the Mahr programmers created a template measuring program. This could then be multiplied over three processing steps in Excel for the previously read characteristics: MarWin EasyShaft was able to create a measuring program for each individual component automatically and without any extra programming effort. Optical diameters; distances to flat surfaces, radii and diameter transitions; radii, roundness and coaxialities were checked.

"With this solution, our customer only had to create around 20 parameterized programs," says Stefan Lüders, application engineer at Mahr. "This saves him a lot of time while maintaining the high quality of the measurement results."
