Full Carbide Tools
Good parts cannot be machined without good cutting tools — that is, tools that are made accurately and in satisfactory condition. And neither makers nor users of tools can know whether they are what they should be without good inspection and measurement equipment.
In recent years, AEROEL developed a new family of laser instruments to check full carbide tools and blanks, perfect to measure tools with odd or even cutting edges.These easy-to-use tool measurement systems are accessible to shop floor personnel.
Based on the Intelligent Laser Micrometer XLS40, these instruments use a special “zero run out” fixture to hold the part, which can be rotated manually or with a motor driven friction wheel. The AEROEL systems are ideal to check:
- End mills
- Reamers
- Drill bits
- Hard metal blanks
The application software allows to measure the tool diameter, the effective cutting diameter and the run-out of the tool, no matter the number of cutting edges, which can be either odd or even. When measuring hard metal blanks, you can get the diameter, the ovality and the straightness.
Aeroel introduces the new family of laser instruments to check full carbide tools and blanks, perfect to measure tools with odd or even cutting edges.
Unique to check odd fluted parts!
Manual or automatic part rotation.
Contactless measurement: no part damage or scratches.
Objective and highly reproducible results: no matter about the operator’s skill.
Extremely easy and quick to use: reduces inspection time and improves measurement capability.
Highly flexible: different components and sizes can be measured without gauge re-mastering.
Ultra accurate: it measures to an accuracy that before you had only in a metrology room, using time consuming, expensive equipment and specialized personnel.
