(Marposs: Auburn Hills, MI) -- Marposs, a global leader in measurement, inspection, and test technologies, has announced the availability of its Ultra Probing System with ultra-wideband transmission technology. This high-accuracy touch probe automatically detects the position of the machine axes to provide quick and accurate part positioning and tool checking.

The Ultra Probing System is the key differentiator, transmitting on a different bandwidth than most of today’s devices and providing a total solution in terms of performance and signal transmission reliability.

In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in Wi-Fi devices on the shop floor, leading to saturation of the 2.4 GHz band, resulting in noise interference that affects the reliability of wireless probing systems. This causes downtime and decreases the quality of the production process. The Marposs Ultra Probing System uses a different—ultra wideband—transmission range so it is immune to other physical signals, eliminating interference to ensure reliability and machine uptime.
