Tool Monitoring Equipment

Wireless Rotary Cutting Dynamometer (RCD)

RCD Equipped With Piezoelectric Sensor
The wireless RCD from Kistler has a 10 kHz sampling rate that allows to capture highly dynamic foot-prints of the measurement in applications with up to 16 000 RPM. Overall, piezoelectric sensors ensure more accurate measurements than other technologies, such as strain-gauge sensors, which have significant limitations especially when measuring small forces and high dynamic processes. Highly accurate measurements are not only important for research but also for production monitoring. The piezoelectric measurement technology can capture very small changes and deviations before they have a significant effect on product quality.

Piezo Actuators

Low-Cost Motion-Amplified Piezo Actuators Provide Precision, Speed
Cost optimized for large quantities, the lightweight P-604 amplified piezo fixture actuator provides a large travel of 300µm in a small footprint of 13x20mm, engineered for a long maintenance-free life. Zero-play flexure guides deliver frictionless and ultra-straight motion. At the heart of the motion-amplifying flexure design is a multilayer piezo ceramic element, of the same proprietary construction as the ones used on the Mars rover for their extreme reliability and lifetime beyond 100 billion cycles.

Contactless Inductive Coupler Systems

Contactless Inductive Coupler Systems Transmit Energy and Data Between Stationary and Moving Components
Standard couplers are axial couplers with threaded fasteners commonly used in sensor technology. With their method of fixing these are easy to install and are quickly integrated, thanks to their plug & play functionality. The built-in LED display notifies the user of the system's status at all times. Radial couplers for rotary applications are available with diameters of up to 280 mm and large internal diameters. An inductive coupler system consists of a stationary coupler and a movable mobile coupler.

Uniko Lite Presetter Demo by Koma Precision

Entering the world of tool presetting is made easy with the Uniko Lite. Fully equipped and easy to use, the Uniko Lite offers a user-friendly intuitive interface, allowing for easy setting of tools and inspection. Easily check tool geometry using one of the auto-measuring functions. With the operator in mind, the Uniko Lite presetter is designed with an ergonomic micrometric hand wheel allowing for easy fine adjustment of the presetter’s optics. Easy to use interchangeable tool pots allows the presetter to be quickly switched to accommodate any type of tooling.

Blue laser technology: setting the standard in on-machine tool measurement

The new NC4+ Blue system is designed to help machine shops across many industries transform their production capabilities. Compared to red laser sources found in conventional non-contact tool setters, Renishaw’s blue laser technology delivers improved diffraction effects and optimized laser beam geometry. In addition to industry-first blue laser technology, the NC4+ features enhanced optics built to deliver greater tool measurement accuracy.
