Overview

Technical

1. Measurement of dynamic cross-hairs: For operator-independent and fast measurement of the maximum values of different geometries. The cross-hair automatically finds the cutting edge and remembers the maximum values once the total image has been activated until the measurement can be restarted, enabling the individual cutting edges of multiple cutting-edge tools to be compared.

2. Measurement of fixed cross-hairs: The fixed cross-hair acts like a projector, with the cutting edge having to be manually positioned on the cross-hair. Previously press the Focus key to adjust maximum focus.

3. Measurement of radii: Radii are measured automatically as soon as a suitable radius has been detected in the image. Measured on the basis of the best-fit process; free choice of ROI.

4. Measurement of angles: Angles are measured automatically as soon as the cutting edge has been detected in the image. There are several angle measuring options (supplementary angle, enclosed angle etc.)

5. Theoretical points: Theoretical geometries can equally be recorded and measured automatically and operator-managed. This can involve the theoretical point with counterbores, the theoretical length or the radius on the edge of the drill. 

6. Search beam: The complementary value at the intersection of the search beam is measured with the contour of the tool by fixed specification of either the X or Z coordinates. 

7. Data management: It includes an adapter menu for specification of any number of adapters and machine management system, tool management system and set-up plans. Complete set-up plans can be produced and transmitted to the machines by post-processors. The machine menu is used to define different controls. 

8. Cutting edge inspection: Top light control using different lighting intensities for the visual inspection of tools.
