Meax® Pen
Wireless machine tool measurement
Meax® Pen can be used for measurements like the run-out of machine spindles, back-lash in machine guideways, repeatability in fixtures or machine movements.
Meax Pen is a battery-powered measuring probe that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to a mobile device using an App. MEAX Pen can be used for measurements like the run-out of machine spindles, check spindle alignment, back-lash in machine guideways, repeatability in fixtures or machine movements.
The wireless transmission enables the sensor to be mounted in the machine without compromising the safty aspects for the operator with the machine doors closed.
Benefits of the Meax® Pen
- Bluetooth (perform measurements with machine doors closed.)
- High accuracy (within 0.001 mm)
- Remote Display
- Documentation
- App based
Measurement range with high accuracy
The measuring sensor is a LVDT sensor with ± 1 mm or ± 2.5 mm measurement range with high accuracy (within 0.001 mm). The measuring sensor and battery assembly are enclosed and have a protection class of IP65 which will with stand coolant and oil.
The built-in battery is charged using a USB micro connector and has an operating time of 11 hours. The enclosure for the battery box contains built-in magnets that allow the device to be easily attached to a measuring stand or directly on the machine stand.
MEAX® Pen is available in two sizes
P100 Measuring range: ±1mm Length: 60 mm (2.36”)
P250 Measuring range: ±2,5mm Length: 85 mm (3,34”)
Meax® Pen Min-Max function for run-out measurements
Max-Min function is used to measure run-out on machine spindles. The Meax Pen sensor is mounted in the preferred measurement direction compiles over an adjustable measurement time. The results are displayed as a difference between the maximum and minimum values.
Live Display of measurement values
Live Display for Meax® Pen is used to:
- Record measurement values from Meax Pen sensors.
- Displays the values in real time
- Records and present a fixed value for a measurement point.
- Record measurement values in a list manually or register and save file.
