Precision and process reliability
Precision measurements regardless of
geometry and tool dimensions
Uncertainty in measurement due to varying
thermal expansion of materials is ruled out
Precision measurements for tools larger
than 0.008 mm (0.0003'')
Supersonic air jets significantly reduce
measurement errors from dirt on the tool
Software algorithms to eliminate the effects
of coolant drops
No interference from ambient lights
Sturdy design
Compact, stainless steel housing
Laser optics protected using motor-operated
shutter unit
Air curtain prevents dirt particles entering
the device
Measurement system sealed according to
IP68 standard
Simple setup
Simple mounting and setup without special
pneumatic unit
No special, accurate alignment of the laser
unit required
Simple orientation and mechanical definition
of the focal point
No external activation of the shutter unit
and air curtain
Operation suitable for the workshop
Simple and reliable calibration and set-up
of the laser unit
Maintenance of the laser optics without tools,
removable shutter unit
Easy to regulate, accessible air curtain
Measurement of very short tools possible
Applications and measuring routines
Dynamic, precision measurement of length
and diameter for almost any tool from
Ø >0.008 mm (0.0003")
Measurement of the cutting edge geometry
at nominal speed
Length compensation of dynamic changes
in tool position
Correction of tool length in case of thermal
change and thermal drift of the spindle or
machine axes
Diameter compensation for dynamic
changes in the rotational diameter of a tool
Detection and compensation of tool wear
Monitoring of run-out, tool change and
clamping errors
Tool breakage detection
