An economical update of a standard Mahr 828 PC length measuring machine can now be performed with an upgrade kit based on Heidenhain IK220 PCI card and an G4 card for the inductive gauge.The new kit allows to connect the Mahr 828 PC with a new PC with Microsoft XP, and to install the latest version of QMSOFT 32 bit gauge management software. The gauge database can then be located on the company server and saved according to standard backup procedures.
All functions performed by the original software are now included in a single QMSOFT display, speeding up the calibration procedure.
A particular advantage is that new card IK220 saves the reference position of the glass scale, and the compensation table can be easily transferred to the new system.
