MACHINE TOOL LASER SYSTEMS

Laser Applications

- Tool 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

- Multiple 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

- Measuring of Length and Radius
A 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
