Description
MMQ 44 Formtesters are made from a wide variety of modules
that are combined to meet your specific requirements.
All high-precision table-top MMQ 44 Formtesters have a measur-
ing spindle (C-axis module), a vertical linear axis (Z-axis module)
and a horizontal linear axis (X-axis module) which comes either
as manual or automatic positioning axis or as measuring axis.
The C-axis module is either available as automatic centering and
tilting table of dia. 285 mm (for fully automatic measuring runs)
or as manual centering and tilting table of dia. 220 mm (for
semi-automatic measuring runs). For both variants, alignment
precision is in the range of microns.
The Z-axis module comes with a length of either 350 mm or
500 mm making it ideally suited for all applications.
MMQ 44 is designed to be equally at home on the shop floor or
in an isolated inspection room. No air supply is required and its
high-precision mechanical spindle and bearings ensure stability,
exceptional accuracy, and repeatability. Plus, MMQ 44 is designed
for easy installation, minimal maintenance, and low operating
costs. Despite its compact size, this Mahr Formtester easily han-
dles large and heavy parts.
Collision protection
No matter how hard you try to avoid them, accidents happen.
That’s why we’ve equipped the MMQ 44 horizontal X-axis with a
reliable collision protection system which immediately stops the
machine if it encounters even a minor counter force. In this way
your operator, workpiece, and MMQ 44 are always protected.
Additional safety features include adjustable limit switches for
vertical travel and an EMERGENCY STOP button.

The X-axis module (with lengths of either 180 mm or 280 mm)

governs the measuring volume. In addition, this module is avail-
able as a motorized positioning or high accuracy measuring axis.
A 100 mm adapter between the C- and the Z-axis module
adapts the machine base to the 280-mm-module.

For high-precision measurements on tiny workpiece geometries

or conical real surfaces requiring utmost positioning accuracy, the
motorized linear axes can be equipped with linear scales.

Different versatilities
A variety of options allows you to easily adapt MMQ 44 to your
special requirements. For example, the X-axis can be designed as
a horizontal measuring axis. For extremely precise workpieces,
the Z-axis linear scale provides exceptional positioning accuracy.
And you can increase your measuring volume to accommodate
unusually long workpieces or those with large diameters. The ro-
tary table has a standard weight capacity of 600 N (134.88 lbf).

Measurement probes for every application

Different measurement probes are available: the universal stan-
dard probe T2W, the precision probe T6W and the motor-driven
probe T7W. The probes come with clever accessories so they can
deliver optimum results for any application and meet any de-
mand on flexibility and automation.
For detail see page 3-20 f.

Performance
With MMQ 44, you can precisely measure the formfeatures
roundness, cylindricity, straightness, flatness and cone form, as
well as positionfeatures such as concentricity, coaxiality, radial
run-out, total radial run-out, axial run-out, total axial run-out,
parallelism, perpendicularity and angularity. A smashing range of
probe arms, styli and other accessories enables measurements
even on hard-to-access points on the workpiece. In addition, you
can easily measure and evaluate interrupted profiles. Grooves,
bore and the like are automatically identified during any (polar
or linear) measurement, irregardless of their location and are
excluded from evaluation.
MMQ 44 lets you take circular measurements on sections as small
as 15°.
The powerful FORM-PC software enables both – single measure-
ments and largely automated series measurements.

Description

The Mahr FORM-PC

FORM-PC is the new measuring, control and evaluation system

for Mahr Formtesters. This easy-to-learn-and-operate software
runs under Microsoft Windows®.

The intuitive, graphical user interface uses icons for many operat-
ing functions and FORM-PC outputs reports to any standard
printer.

Easy handling

With Mahr FORM-PC, you’re always in control. With a few simple

mouse-clicks you can now position, set-up, measure, and docu-
ment your results. The overview is guaranteed because of the
graphical working surface.

Expressive icons allow you to activate a lot of functions with a

mouse-click. Also, you can examine measurement profiles as they
are taken – even interrupt the measurement if necessary. FORM-
PC is compatible with other Windows® -based programs and can
be customized to meet your specific requirements. Teach-in programming

Fast single measurement, starting a program run for a workpiece

Quick&Easy
Clicking on the “Quick&Easy” icon opens a comprehensive win-
dow displaying all important measuring and evaluation parame-
ters. So you can easily choose a measuring task with a click of the
mouse. You need only confirm presettings for most measuring
tasks, or you can adapt parameters to your specific requirements.
And you can save and reload complete parameter sets.
or changing a complex measuring task into a measuring pro-
gram – the FORM-PC offers the optimal control strategy for all
tasks. With teach-in programming, programming really is child’s
play. Clicking an icon opens a comprehensive window displaying
all important measuring and evaluation parameters. You need
only confirm presettings for most parameters or you can adapt
them to your measurement and only a few moments later you’ll
have your measuring record.

Description

You never get lost during programming because you can choose
between several presentation modes, giving you either just the
main items or the finest details. Changing a program is not a
problem either. Just click what needs to be modified and change
it right away in the parameter window.

Parameters can be maintained as global parameter sets which

can be saved, reloaded and changed in an instant. Moreover a
measuring program to be used for recurring workpieces can be
saved in a program management system where it can be
assigned workpiece specifications and comments.
Precise documentation – your way
FORM-PC displays expressive graphic profile presentations of
your measurement data in vivid colour on your PC screen direct-
ly. And you can show several profiles, automatic in the optimal
extension – each in different colours or with other variations – in
one display. If you are interested in exact values you can choose a
tabular display of numerical values. You can represent cylinder
form, flatness and total run-out in a 3D-graphic.

Running programs
You can open and start existing measurement routines as you
would any Windows® program, or use the convenient Measuring
Program Manager. Either way, there are no cryptic file abbrevia-
tions to remember or complicated paths to follow. Simply click
on your drawing number and workpiece name. FORM-PC is
ready to run with just a click of the “start” command.

Description
With the FORM-PC you measure your products in conformance
with international standards and present the results in a clear
and meaningful format. Of course, the results can be electroni-
cally stored, allowing paperless documentation and easy
electronic distribution, e.g. by E-Mail.
A multitude of PC peripherals, including high resolution printers
– either black and white or colour – guarantee the ideal docu-
mentation of your results.
International
The FORM-PC software is available in the languages German,
English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish or Czech.
The system
Windows®-based FORM-PC for Mahr Formtesters includes com-
puter hardware as well as a sophisticated, integrated control and
measuring data acquisition CD-ROM software package. Addi-
tional software modules for enhanced performance are also
available. FORM-PC works with the Formtester line of MMQ-
products.
Operating system and user interface
Operating system: Windows® 98 or Windows® NT 4.0
Optional for teach-in programming:
Measuring result export in Windows® compatible file formats for
further processing in statistics programs or other Windows
applications, e. g. Excel.
Optional for teach-in programming:
Waviness analysis with freely selectable range of harmonic waves
and monitoring for tolerance band errors based on a Fast Fourier
Transformation (FFT). The tolerance band can be defined as
required and be presented either in tabular form or as an
amplitude or profile depth based histogram of either standard
of logarithmic scaling. Also a Fourier syn-thesis belongs to the
performance range of this option. With Fourier synthesis, on the
other hand, an new digitally filtered profile can be generated
from any analysed profile which can be evaluated as well
(example: showing the ovality as a roundness profile without
waviness portion)
Optional for teach-in programming:
Evaluation and monitoring of piston-specific features such as
ovality, situation of the primary and secondary oval axis, toler-
ance band monitoring for both circular and linear piston profiles.

Probes for MMQ 44

Motor-driven T7W probe

The probe T7W is provided with a motor-driven axis of rotation.

The T7W probe features a motor-driven probe arm which can be
positioned in steps of 1°. The T7W probe as a zero position
probe enables automatic switch over between vertical
measurements on the inside and outside and horizontal
measurements on the top and bottom of an endface. This is the
reason why even the most complex measuring programs can be
run without operator intervention. In addition, special probe
arms with several styli are available which make it possible to use
several stylus geometries in one and the same program run.
