Measuring on Machine Tools
Technical Data The is a high-end system for dynamic, non-contact tool measurement allowing automatic checks for tool wear or breakage. A focussed laser provides accurate measurement on any tool geometry for tools as small as 0.008mm (0.0003"). Integrated cleaning jets creating a supersonic airstream clean the tool's cutting edge during measurement ensuring reliable results even in harsh environments. The durable stainless steel construction and sophisticated laser technology guarantee dependable results with the utmost precision in any production scenario. Simple mounting, rapid alignment, and easy maintenance ensure that the tool setter is always ready to use when you need it. Technical Data Repeatability Power supply Laser Laser safety class ± 0.2 µm (0.000008'') 24 VDC / max. 500 ma Centrally focused / 639 nm / <1 mw 2 (IEC825) Temperature range 10 C - 50 C Material Stainless steel Black anodised aluminium Protection class IP68: EN60529 (connected, air-curtain on)
Technical Data Laser Tool Setters with sideward connections are used on machines with no kinematic turning/swivelling mechanisms acting on the supply lines. They are fix mounted in the working area of the machine tool. 150 (5.91 ) 45 (1.77 ) 40 (1.57 ) 30 (1.18 ) 35.60-LTS40 Min. tool Ø 0,008 mm (0.0003'') Max. tool Ø 35 mm (1.37'') 51 (2.01 ) 92 (3.62 ) 102 (4.02 ) 200 (7.87 ) 90 (3.54 ) 35.60-LTS90 Min. tool 0,01 2 mm (0.0004'') Max. tool 85 mm (3.34'') 92 (3.62 ) 102 (4.02 ) 270 (10.63 ) 160 (6.3 ) 35.60-LTS160 Min. tool Ø 0,020 mm (0.0007'') Max. tool Ø 155 mm (6.10'') 92 (3.62 ) 102 (4.02 )
Technical Data -CC Laser Tool Setters with central downward connections are used on machines with turning/swivelling mechanisms where the supply lines are guided through a rotary union. They are flange-mounted on the turning/swivelling unit. 200 (7.87 ) 90 (3.54 ) 35.60-LTS90-CC Min. tool 0,01 2 mm (0.0004'') Max. tool 85 mm (3.34'') 104 (4.09 ) 13 (0.51 ) 114 (4.49 ) 270 (10.63 ) 160 (6.3 ) 35.60-LTS160-CC Min. tool Ø 0,020 mm (0.0007'') Max. tool Ø 155 mm (6.10'') 104 (4.09 ) 13 (0.51 ) 114 (4.49 ) 78 (3.07 ) Integrated mounting flange with central downward outgoing connections. 58 (2.28 )
Product Features Precision and process reliability Precision measurements regardless of geometry and tool dimensions Uncertainty in measurement due to varying thermal expansion of materials is ruled out Precision measurements for tools larger than 0.008 mm (0.0003'') Supersonic air jets significantly reduce measurement errors from dirt on the tool Software algorithms to eliminate the effects of coolant drops No interference from ambient light Tools are measured in the focused measuring point Sturdy design Compact, stainless steel housing Laser optics protected using motor-operated shutter unit Air curtain prevents dirt particles entering the device Measurement system sealed according to IP68 standard Simple setup Simple mounting and setup without special pneumatic unit No special, accurate alignment of the laser unit required Simple orientation and mechanical definition of the focal point No external activation of the shutter unit and air curtain Highly effective tool cleaning with supersonic air jets for dependable measuring results Operation suitable for the workshop Simple and reliable calibration and set-up of the laser unit Maintenance of the laser optics without tools, removable shutter unit Easy to regulate, accessible air curtain Measurement of very short tools possible Large tolerance in axis parallelism permits simple alignment on the machine table Applications and measuring routines Dynamic, precision measurement of length and diameter for almost any tool from Ø >0.008 mm (0.0003") Measurement of the cutting edge geometry at nominal speed Length compensation of dynamic changes in tool position Correction of tool length in case of thermal change and thermal drift of the spindle or machine axes Diameter compensation for dynamic changes in the rotational diameter of a tool Detection and compensation of tool wear Monitoring of run-out, tool change and clamping errors Tool breakage detection Positioning slot and calibration pin enable fast alignment in relation to the machine axes The shutter unit can be removed manually for cleaning the optics
