 Microstar "L" Bridge Type CMMs Series
The "L" Series is
Helmel's product line designed for your
larger applications. Large capacity range-of-moving bridge type CMMs built on a massive granite base including a raised granite beam for the Y axis guideway. This design improves the bridge geometry, providing dimensional and thermal stability, while positioning the Y axis drive closer to the center of moving mass Dual beam steel bridge structure. Designed for stiffness, low mass and balance for swift, accurate movements. Suited for lab or plant floor use.
Non-contact optical steel encoder
scales, mounted on steel members assure
uniform thermal behavior. Solid design
emphasizes powerful bearing ratios in
its use of hardened and ground ways and
precision pre-loaded, mechanical linear
bearings, insuring dynamic accuracy.
Straight and square construction
guarantees intrinsic mechanical accuracy
without relying on volumetric error
correcting software tricks so you save
money on every calibration . CNC MICROSTAR "L" SERIES CMMs feature a state-of-the-art layout with joysticks, motion controller, PC and the GEOMET Measuring System for Windows. Helmel features the ultimate drive system: brushless non-contact linear motors consisting of a coil between parallel rows of magnets running the full length of travel. There are no other moving parts. Conventional drives must convert rotary motion to linear motion, inducing torque into the machine structure while requiring gear reduction and friction. Our linear motors eliminate the heat, vibration, wear, backlash and cogging of rotary motor systems. Even better, when the motors are off, you are free to use your MICROSTAR for manual measurement.
We use the American made PMAC
programmable multi-axis motion
controller from Delta Tau , considered
to be the most powerful on the market.
The open architecture allows it to be
easily upgraded in the field as motion
features are enhanced.
Our joystick control is enclosed in a
durable die-cast aluminum housing with
all needed function keys so you won't
have to go to the PC every time you want
to perform an operation at the machine
during the self-teach programming cycle.
Microstar "L" series are standard 1000mm
(40") Z height. Optional 1200 (48") is
available.
 An optional
Renishaw UCC2 Controller can be
ordered to enhance capabilities turning
the Microstar into a very powerful
scanning system. Would you like more
