Zoller tool presetter

MPA”s Zoller Venturion 400 Tool Presetter helps automate and control our CNC machine tooling.


Metrology101

The Zoller 400 uses an innovative automated optical system to profile a tool”s geometry. Here a .250″ TiN coated boring tool is being measured.


Metrology102

The tool”s profile is displayed on the computer screen and its data is automatically transferred to the designated CNC machine tool in which it will be used.


Zeiss Contura Scanning CMM

MPA”s Zeiss Contura with a VAST XT Multi-Point Scanning Head ensures that all tolerances/specifications of the part are met and documented.


Complex Part being Inspected

The Zeiss VAST XT Scanning Head calibrates itself prior to the inspection/measurment of a part.

MPA also uses Heidenhain electronic gauges for precise and accurate measurements.


Wyler electronic Levels

A Wyler RF Electronic Level is used to plot the trajectory of a completed X/Y/Z/Theta stage. Note the 4.6 Seconds of Arc in the display as the Stage comes back to “Home” as a trajectory test comes to completion.
