 Microstar
"L" Series
The "L" Series is
Helmel's product line designed for your
larger applications.
Large capacity range-of-moving bridge
CMMs built on a massive granite base
including a raised granite beam for the
Y axis guideway. This design improves
the bridge geometry, providing
dimensional and thermal stability, while
positioning the Y axis drive closer to
the center of moving mass Dual beam
steel bridge structure. Designed for
stiffness, low mass and balance for
swift, accurate movements. Suited for
lab or plant floor use.
Non-contact optical steel encoder
scales, mounted on steel members assure
uniform thermal behavior. Solid design
emphasizes powerful bearing ratios in
its use of hardened and ground ways and
precision pre-loaded, mechanical linear
bearings, insuring dynamic accuracy.
Straight and square construction
guarantees intrinsic mechanical accuracy
without relying on volumetric error
correcting software tricks so you save
money on every calibration .
CNC MICROSTAR "L" SERIES CMMs feature a
state-of-the-art layout with joysticks,
motion controller, PC and the GEOMET
Measuring System for Windows. Helmel
features the ultimate drive system:
brushless non-contact linear motors
consisting of a coil between parallel
rows of magnets running the full length
of travel. There are no other moving
parts. Conventional drives must convert
rotary motion to linear motion, inducing
torque into the machine structure while
requiring gear reduction and friction.
Our linear motors eliminate the heat,
vibration, wear, backlash and cogging of
rotary motor systems. Even better, when
the motors are off, you are free to use
your MICROSTAR for manual measurement.
We use the American made PMAC
programmable multi-axis motion
controller from Delta Tau , considered
to be the most powerful on the market.
The open architecture allows it to be
easily upgraded in the field as motion
features are enhanced.
Our joystick control is enclosed in a
durable die-cast aluminum housing with
all needed function keys so you won't
have to go to the PC every time you want
to perform an operation at the machine
during the self-teach programming cycle.
Microstar "L" series are standard 1000mm
(40") Z height. Optional 1200 (48") is
available.
 An optional
Renishaw UCC2 Controller can be
ordered to enhance capabilities turning
the Microstar into a very powerful
scanning system. Would you like more
