FISCHERSCOPE® MMS® Automation

The inline all-rounder: Multi-measuring-system.

Universal measuring system for automated coating thickness measurement and materials testing.

 

Multichannel measurement from up to
4 same probes in one application
Only solution
for automated conductivity measurement
Cables suitable for drag chains

Thanks to simple top-hat rail mounting

The modular measuring system consists of three parts: The measured values are acquired with probes that are mounted on an automated measuring stand or a robot arm. Via a digitizing unit - the MMS® module - the signals reach the basic unit. The basic unit is mounted in the control cabinet and is responsible for monitoring. It communicates with higher-level units via an RS232 interface.

Due to its modular design, the FISCHERSCOPE® MMS® Automation can be specially adapted to your needs and expanded at any time. For example, you can equip the system with up to four different modules and probes to solve a variety of measuring tasks. Alternatively, up to four identical probes can be used in a single application to achieve a large number of measuring points.

Thanks to standardized interfaces such as ProfiNET and RS232, it can be quickly integrated into quality management systems and automated manufacturing processes. Regardless of whether you want to inspect with just one probe on the head of an industrial robot or work with up to four probes in parallel in a measuring station directly in your production line.
