AutoComp

2. Is a Microsoft Windows application • Communicates directly to the CNC control • Accepts measurement data from any electronic device • Automatically adjusts tool offsets • Eliminates the chance of human error AutoComp

3. AutoComp in Action 2 Part is measured 1 Part is machined 3 AutoComp determines if compensation is required 4 Tool offsets are adjusted

4. Input to AutoComp 1.) AutoComp is configured to watch specific folders for data 2.) Data can come from a wide variety of measuring devices and is generated as a text file 3.) Once AutoComp sees the data file , it processes the data and then destroys the file. Dim 1, 0.023 Dim 2, -0.193 Dim 3, 1.3458 Dim 4, 2.007 Standard Windows Folder

5. Measuring Devices • Wireless Systems • MicroRidge, Mahr, Federal… • CMMs • Zeiss, Mitutoyo, Brown & Sharp, Sheffield… • Digital Tooling • Mitutoyo, Mahr/Federal, Starrett, B&S….. • Gage fixture with LVDTs • Edmonds, Marposs, Stotz, Kurt Gage…. • Laser Micrometer • Blum, Zmike, Zygo……. • Vision systems • Mitutoyo, Hommel, TesaScan, HelioScope…… • On Machine Probing

6. You want to eliminate operator error from manually adjusted tool offsets • You are gauging parts at the machine or outside the cell with a CMM • You are running lean manufacturing • You have a robot loaded machine with automatic gauging Use AutoComp if…… AutoComp will complete the loop. It will process the gauge data and update the tool offsets automatically providing error free tool control

7. Key Features • Easy indication of dimension status • Tracks amount of tool offset and provides alarm indication • Dimension data can come from multiple devices • Okuma THINC control and other CNC controls running Windows require no additional PC • Fanuc controls with Focus1/2 require only an ethernet cable for connectivity

8. Dimension Setup is Easy • Input dimension name • Input nominal dimension and tolerance • Relate this dimension to a gage feature • Set tool compensation limits • Set tool offset information • Set tool wear maximum.

9. Run-Time Display Real Time data graph Tool Compensation Limits RED Indicates Out of Tolerance Dimension Yellow Indicates Tool Compensation Is required Tolerance Limits Green Indicates A good part Amount of Tool life used (%) Dimension Number Dimension Name Current Part Data Previous part data

10. Tool Offset Status Yellow indicates the tool is approaching its life limit Red indicates the tool has exceeded its life limit

11. Good/Reject Status The user selects any unused CNC variable The user selects a value for a good part and a value for a rejected part By interrogating this variable in the part program, the user can take a different action based on a good or rejected part

12. Cycle Status The user selects any unused CNC variable The user selects a value for a complete cycle and a value to indicate that there are missing dimensions By interrogating this variable in the part program, the user may want to stop the process if all dimensions were not taken

13. Tool Wear limit Status The user selects any unused CNC variable The user selects a value indication that tools are OK and a value indicating that a tool has reached a wear limit By interrogating this variable in the part program, if a tool has reached a wear limit the part program can stop and the operator can be informed.

14. Gauge Required The user selects any unused CNC variable. The CNC part program will increment this variable at the end of each part The user selects the number of parts cut before gauging is required A run time display shows number of parts cut and when the required gauging will be needed Yellow is a warning that the required gauging is close Red means the program has stopped until the part is gauged

15. Tool Compensation Limits • Once the running average is calculated, the result is compared to the tool compensation limits (shown in yellow) • If this value is greater than the upper limit or less then the lower limit, a tool compensation value is sent to the CNC control • If the value exceeds either of the TOLERANCE limits no tool compensation is sent (REJECTED PART)

16. Editing during operation The parameters for each dimension can be edited during operation and the tool wear can be reset

17. Part View By using AutoComp’s Part View feature, the operator can easily see a location and status of each measured dimension.

18. Tool Compensation & Trend For each dimension, tolerance limits, tool compensation limits and trend are use to calculate tool compensation. When trend is not used, any dimension that exceeds the compensation limit will cause a tool offset to be sent. If the trend is set (2-9) then the running average of that number of readings is used to determine if tool compensation is required 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Running average of 3

21. LiveViewTM LiveView allows the user to remotely view any machine with AutoComp By clicking on the picture of any machine a remote view of the active AutoComp screen pops up allowing the user to see the live data that the operator sees.

22. Benefits AutoComp will enhance your manufacturing by : • Eliminating operator data entry errors • Providing statistical control of tool offsets • Informing the operator that a tool needs to be changed when it is worn • Providing historical data of how much a tool is wearing over time and providing data that can be used to improve the process
