New efficiency in Reverse Engineering

New Release of tool measurement system IF-ToolPrecision


The latest release of the IF-ToolPrecision is not only a high resolution measurement system to measure form, roughness and contour of tap tools. It also is a valuable tool for efficient Reverse Engineering. “Before IF-ToolPrecision, there worldwide was no comparable system available”, states the industry.


IF-ToolPrecision is an optical high resolution tool measurement system to automatically measure shaft tools. It is optimized for the measurement of taps. It is a coordinate measurement device, surface measurement device and contour measurement system in only one system. Users measure roughness, form and contour including roundness in a vertical resolution of up to 10nm.

With the latest release, the IF-ToolPrecision measures with more 3D measurement points. Users benefit from a denser and more detailed 3D visualization of their taps. This makes the measurement device to an ideal tool for Reverse Engineering. The IF-ToolPrecision is used for both, 3D digitalization of the tool and the automatic comparison with CAD data.

Today, the IF-ToolPrecision enables an increased number of measurable parameters in the chamfer area, the flute and in the thread. Amongst others, these are chamfer diameter, chamfer length, chamfer relief, chamfer angle and spiral point angle.

The tool measurement system was designed and developed within an industry partnership with BASS GmbH & Co. KG, a leading supplier of threading tools. “Before IF-ToolPrecision, there worldwide was no comparable system available”, states BASS.

IF-ToolPrecision is an optical system from the series of tool measurement devices by Alicona. The IF-EdgeMaster is used for the measurement of inserts and hobs also in production. InfiniteFocus Real3D is used for the complete form measurement of micro tools. All measurement systems from Alicona are used to measure surface roughness including form and are based on the technology of Focus-Variation .

3d micro-coordinate measurement technique for roughness and form measurement

Alicona offers optical 3d surface measurement systems for quality assurance in research and production. Core competence is the measurement of roughness and form also across large measurement areas and volumes. The cutting edge measurement and the measurement of small radii and angles are typical applications. Focus-Variation, the core technique of the InfiniteFocus line, combines the traditional surface metrology and the micro coordinate measurement technology. This technology achieves traceable and repeatable results in highest resolution even in production.
