Key Features:

Breakage detection of centric tools such as drills, mills, engraving tools, taps and reamers
Non-contact tool setting in length and radius at a nominal speed with spindle drift compensation at high rotational speeds
Monitoring of tools for broken or missing cutting edges
Setting and monitoring of tools with circular cutting-edge geometry in length, radius, and cutting-edge radius
Monitoring for cracks or wear by scanning the tool cutting edges
Wear compensation through workpiece measurements and automatic comparison with the nominal dimension
Compensation of the temperature-dependent thermal behavior of machining centers
Parameter determination for adaptive machining and process control between and after the machining steps.
