Marposs to introduce Ultra Probing System at IMTEX 2025
Marposs plans to unveil its cutting-edge Ultra Probing System at IMTEX 2025 – South and South-East Asia’s largest machine tool and manufacturing technology show to be held on 23 – 29 January at BIEC, Bengaluru.
The main objective of the touch probing systems is to optimize the production process of the machine tools, increasing both quality and quantity: the automatic detection of the machines axes’ position offers advantages in terms of positioning and control of the workpieces, directly in the machining center and the milling machines. For this reason, the probes are mounted directly on the machine spindle, that’s why a wireless signal transmission is necessary, typically based on the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in Wi-Fi devices within production plants, not only smartphones, tablets and modems, but also automatic elevators and other material handling systems. This leads to saturation of the 2.4 GHz band with the inevitable presence of noise and interference, affecting the reliability of wireless probing systems, causing downtime and, more generally, decreasing the quality of the production process.
Marposs, always looking for new technologies to meet the growing market demands, can offer something more. Marposs Ultra Probing System is the new touch probing system with Ultra-Wideband technology, a real revolution for the machine tool industry. Thanks to the Ultra-Wideband technology, Marposs can place itself at a higher level of transmission than the standard, offering a new solution unmatched in terms of performance and reliability.
The most important feature, which is the main advantage introduced by the Marposs Ultra Probing system, is the use of a different transmission range: in Ultra Wideband, no other physical signal can interfere with the Marposs device, which means no interference and no machine downtime.
In addition, the system also features many improvements in its design. The anchor is the receiving antenna with an ultra-compact design that makes installation easier and faster. It also has 3 LED indicators. The anchor is connected to the machine’s CNC by a wired cable. In all systems, the connection is a weak point due to the sealing in a wet area which depends on proper mounting and then directly on the ability of the operator
Marposs Ultra Probing System introduces a new generation of wireless connectors with an extreme level of sealing due to its design, which does not depend on external operations.
In addition, the new Marposs APP – which allows system setup and real-time monitoring, combined with diagnostic and service operations – makes the system fast and easy to use.
