If you purchase the full MSP PerfectPart product suite, you get an end-to-end solution to improve quality throughout your CNC machining processes. It eliminates all potential sources of error from calibration all the way to inspection so you can produce right-first-time parts. 

Because of how MSP PerfectPart works, at the same time as improving quality, it also automates your processes, speeds them up, reduces scrap levels and makes shopfloors much more sustainable.

AutoClock: Hardware for micron-accurate and fast probe setup and calibration.

NC-AutoClock: Software for the automated operation of AutoClock and its results. This also allows one AutoClock device to be used per cell.

NC-Checker: Software for machine performance monitoring to understand if your machine is capable of producing parts within tolerance. Creates Benchmark reports.

NC-PartLocator: Software for the automation of the best fit alignment of parts and on-machine part inspection.

Yes! By eliminating all potential sources of errors before any parts are machined or any material is cut, you can have the confidence anything produced will be within tolerance and pass final inspection. For example, errors can occur when the probe is setup and calibrated manually, errors can be present on the machine if there are kinematic or mechanical issues or errors can occur in alignment (either the part hasn’t been located accurately enough or the part differs from the CAD). The products within the MSP PerfectPart suite identify and correct for all of these errors so they don’t affect your parts.

Yes – in many ways! By speeding up probe, machine and part setup processes, sometimes to a mere fraction of the original time, this saves a large amount of wasted energy in time the machine would have been sat idle. And by ensuring right-first-time parts are produced consistently, energy isn’t wasted spent machining parts that eventually have to be scrapped. 

MSP PerfectPart also makes it possible to adapt processes to machine near net shapes so manufacturers can create parts using the minimum amount of material possible and make savings as less machining time is needed.

MSP PerfectPart is installed on a standard PC/workstation next to the machine tool on the shopfloor. The PC needs to be connected to the machine tool control either directly or via the company network. No high accuracy CAD is used, so a high-performance PC is not required.

MSP can work with any type of spindle touch probe. We always suggest using the most accurate probe to remove uncertainty from the measurement results. As part of the NC-Checker Benchmark, the Probe Performance check will identify if an upgrade is required for the required part tolerances.
