(Mahr Federal: Providence, RI) -- Mahr Federal Inc. has introduced a new version of its popular MMQ 200 Formtester Cylindricity Machine with an automated T7W probing system. The T7W is a ±360° motorized bidirectional probe intended to reduce operator involvement and improve measurement capability. Complete with Mahr’s newest EasyForm v 3.0 software, the MMQ 200 is compact, fast, very easy to learn and operate, and is equally at home in the metrology lab or on the shop floor.  

“Automated probe positioning means an operator can put a part on the machine, walk away, and the whole measurement can be done automatically,” says Pat Nugent, vice president for metrology systems at Mahr Federal. “Since manual probe rotation is subject to human error, a secondary benefit of automated probe positioning is greater accuracy of position, and hence, improved accuracy and repeatability for the whole measurement process.”
