Alicona offers its new cutting edge measurement system EdgeMasterX, designed for even greater automation in quality assurance. Applications include the measurement of inserts, drillers, cutters, and other tap tools in production.
The EdgeMasterX is the result of Alicona's further development of the EdgeMaster, a globally used system for production integrated tool measurement.
The most remarkable feature of the new device is the automatic multiple measurement of edges. A motorized rotation unit allows users to measure multiple, also chamfered edges of a tool in a single measurement cycle.
All of the EdgeMasterX's measurement capabilities are based on a one-button solution. Traffic-light color codes indicate geometric deviations from a CAD dataset or reference geometry.
