Optical measurement of cutting tools in production

The latest version of the EdgeMaster offers additional measurement capabilities for quality assurance of inserts in production. Basket arch and chipping of cutting edges are now measured. 


Measurements are provided within seconds. Speed, automation, and resolution and make the system ideally suited to industrial applications.

In addition to the measurement of even smallest radii and angles, the EdgeMaster also provides

  • numerical verification of the clearance and chip angle
  • measurement of supporting and negative angle of the basket arch
  • numerical verification and damage analysis assisting in tool life calculation
  • measurement of chipping

The EdgeMaster is used for

  • traceable and repeatable measurement of radii, clearance, chip, and cutting angle
  • comparative form measurement of basket arch to reference geometry
  • tolerance measurement of chipping
  • verification of wear and symmetry
