IRPT35.40 - the tool measuring system stored in the tool magazine!
With the Pick Up Tool Setter IRPT35.40, tools can be measured in length and diameter on the machine. The Docking Station can be fitted anywhere on the machine table and enables automatic or manual exchange of the tool setter. This means there is nothing protruding out to restrict the working surface. One infrared receiver is used for both touch probe and tool setter.
Constant production quality requires the use of reliable accurate tooling. One vital requirement is precise tool data. m&h Tool Setter for tool measurement detect tool length and tool radius directly on the machine. The data is automatically transferred to the tool table of the control. Periodic tool checks for broken tools or wear create additional production safety. The Tool Setter from m&h will do this job, saving time and increasing reliability.
HDR (High Data Rate) technology avoids interference caused by ambient light from outside and inside the machining area. On one hand we use the 75 Hz transmission frequency which is different from worldwide line frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, respectively. On the other, an extremely high data rate of 9600 light pulses/sec prevents interference from pulsing machine lamps. Adjustable transmitting power and large transmitting angles are absolutely standard for m&h touch probes. Large receiving angles and microprocessor controlled evaluation of receiving signals gives absolutely perfect infrared light transmission.
