Alicona presents EdgeMaster at EMO!
Reduce scrap, increase life span and enhance speed of your cutting tools!
The EdgeMaster is an easy to use tool for the measurement of tool cutting edges in a production near environment. It is the first measurement device that achieves the accurate measurement of critical dimensions of a cutting tool quickly in such a simple and robust way. All measurements are free from operator error as exact sample positioning is not required. The measurement system can be operated by semi skilled technicians.
The optical measurement system is calibrated and adjusted and performs repeatable radii and angle measurements of cutting tools. Variance analysis and symmetric measurements are compared with the original CAD model. Dimensional measurements as well as the measurement of edge chips provide meaningful wear analysis.
The EdgeMaster
- measures radii > 3µm
- is highly accurat independent from sample positioning
- is absolutely wearless
- detects and measures edge chips
- delivers the maximum resolution even on different surface finishes with strong reflections
- is much faster than tactile measurements
- measures angles down to 20°
