New machine at IMTS 2018
Specialized gear machine. (AG). Seems to have a lot of specialized in process probing (Renishaw "sprint") to make it all hang together.
Tolerances and process management shown in video ** .
Most of it is in Japanese but the "math" and tolerance plots of the gear surfaces seem interesting.
Trying to figure out what is special about the machine versus a regular I-200 but with the same Renishaw probing system?
i.e. can similar parts that are not exactly gears but very gear like can be processed this way ?
Is there anyone at IMTS over this next few days that happens to be standing next to the machine and can bug the hell out of the sales engineers on this one (would be greatly appreciated) just to gain a smidge more clarity... (please and BIG thank you).
Like does it have scales and rotary / ring encoders or improved mechatronics or is it a plan jane I-200 with extra software and Renishaw 3d scan probing cycles ?
Maybe peeps with precision gear making experience or PROBE-ing experience could chime in also just with ANY or ALL opinions ?
Ta,
Eric

** No affiliation but the in process form tolerances (half way through the video are really interesting if you blow the video up full screen on youtube and pause it, you can read the tolerances clearly).
