Tigo
TIGO SF is an innovative coordinate measuring machine (CMM) designed to operate on the shop floor. This compact, robust and ergonomic CMM allows quality assurance to be seamlessly integrated where it’s needed most, right where workpieces are manufactured. Intuitive to operate, TIGO SF opens the world of metrology to new users whilst retaining the flexibility and versatile measurement functionality demanded by the most proficient technicians.
A small footprint combined with a highly-accessible measurement volume makes the TIGO SF perfect for close-to-production measurement and cell integration even in the tightest of spaces. Offering a sophisticated yet simple alternative to manual gauging, TIGO SF’s open structure and purpose-built accessories and options mean it can also be easily integrated into automated manufacturing cells. Designed for challenging environments, this air-free CMM is fully protected against the effects of dust and dirt, vibrations and humidity in shop-floor environments. Its advanced thermal compensation technology enables users to measure accurately in temperatures ranging from 15 °C up to 40 °C with the XT option.
Combining precision, scanning performance and throughput in one compact machine package, TIGO SF is perfectly suited to a wide range of applications while an innovative range of hardware and software tools ensure easy machine operability. The INSPECT software module makes part program execution and data analysis easy for operators at every skill level, offering a simple graphical interface with a clear overview of the results. With accessories including the PULSE environmental monitoring system, messaging lights for visual machine status indication, and Q-DAS statistical process control (SPC) software for enhanced process monitoring, TIGO SF helps manufacturers embrace Industry 4.0 principles.
Features & benefits
- Open Access Measuring Volume Easy loading and unloading of workpieces thanks to the full accessibility offered by the TIGO SF’s three open sides.
- Compact Size The PC, controller and peripherals including the screen and the keyboard are all mounted to the same base to ensure minimal footprint for easy placement onto the shop floor or production line. TIGO SF offers the best volume to footprint ratio in its class.
- Linear Guideways All axes on the TIGO SF work on a linear guideway system with no air required, reducing the risk from production contaminants and making installation and relocation simpler.
- Ergonomic Workstation TIGO SF’s ergonomically-designed workstation allows operators to position the screen and keyboard exactly where they need it, while an easy-to-reach USB port enables fast data transfer.
- Eco Mode Eco Mode automatically powers down the machine when it stands idle, improving energy efficiency without shutting down the CMM. Eco Mode supports environmental sustainability whilst reducing operating costs, giving metrology the green light.
- Fly2 Mode Fly2 Mode is a trajectory-control feature for enhanced probe movement. It decreases program execution times whilst reducing operating and maintenance costs by optimising machine motion and trajectories, causing less stress on moving parts.
- Scan Pilot The Scan Pilot advanced firmware algorithm and motion-control parameters enable accurate measurement of undefined path profiles quickly with minimal setup. Consistent contact is achieved through greater motion control, even in the presence of abrupt surface changes, allowing users to save time on non-predefined measurement tasks.
- PULSE When fluctuations in environmental conditions are enough to affect a measurement result, PULSE provides traceability through environment monitoring. PULSE uses a network of sensors to record variations in temperature, vibration and humidity in the CMM environment as well as monitoring for machine collisions, and sends alerts to the user via email or SMS when predefined operating conditions are exceeded.
- XT Option The optional XT upgrade enables accurate and reliable measurement in an expanded temperature range of 15 °C to 40 °C, and can be applied to all new TIGO SF CMMs or to existing machine installations as a retrofit.
- Messaging Lights LED status indicator lights are mounted on the Z-axis cover to allow at-a-glance assessment of the machine and program status from across the factory floor. Users have a clear visual indication of whether measurements are in progress or if the CMM requires operator intervention. This means the CMM can be left unattended, allowing time and resource optimisation.
