The Software MT-SOFT  for the definition of machine tool geometry for the WYLER instruments MINILEVEL,  LEVELTRONIC and the new line BlueSYSTEM

Already more than 20 years ago WYLER AG wrote the first software to facilitate the measurement and the evaluation of flatness and straightness. Through continuous enhancements this development was leading to the actual version of the well-known and well-established LEVELSOFT. Listening to customers we learned that for complex machines LEVELSOFT had its limitations.
The new software MT-SOFT (Machine Tool Inspection Software) allows now to go beyond these limitations.

For a highly skilled, specialized mechanic with a long time experience it was quite clear how and where he was supposed to measure a machine tool in order to take the necessary corrective action, mostly by mechanical adjustment and by scraping. The objects machined today are getting more and more complex and the quality requirements are increasing constantly. This situation has called for larger, more powerful and more complex machine tools with the respective requirements for higher accuracy. The geometry checking of a machine tool as a fundamental pre-condition for a high quality production brings the test personal and the classically used instrumentation to their limitation.

A number of methods are presently available for the determination of the total system error of a machine. It is, however, very demanding to determine the source of the possible errors in order to make the necessary corrections.

The major goal for developing the software MT-Soft was to fill exactly this gap and to supply the engineer with a tool with which he can take the necessary measurements and actions not only in the early stage of the manufacturing process of a new machine tool but also during the final assembly as well as in the maintenance and repair phase.

The newly developed software MT-Soft allows to measure independently various geometrical elements of a machine with standard inclination measuring-instruments. The individual measuring results can be saved and consolidated 3-dimensionally allowing the determination of the total error of the machine. A simple example of the great variety of the possibilities of the software is e.g. the measurement of the vertical spindle in relation to a horizontal guide way of a machine tool. The logical layout and the clear structure of the software allows to easily measure even complex machines.
