Laser Applications

bulletTool Breakage Detection
By passing a tool through the beam at a high feedrate, the tool can be checked for breakage with minimal effect on cycle time.

 

 

bulletMultiple Cutting Edge Check
The entire edge of each insert or flute can be measured for damage. Even odd shaped tools such as ball end mills, beveled cutters and form tools can be checked.

 

bulletMeasuring of Length and Radius

Reference Pin
B
Flight Circle (runout)
C
Centric tools, ie: twist drills, tap drills
D Eccentric tools, ie: milling cutters
E
Indexable insert cutters
F
Preferred measuring position (beam center)
G
Measuring position for tool radius
H
Measuring position for tool length
I
Position to check cutting edge
