The new Mida VOTS wireless, multichannel optical tool setter from Marposs features an innovative modulated transmission technology to ensure high immunity to interference, a large operating range and a wide transmission angle, making it ideal for use on large 3- and 5-axis milling machines and machining centers. It is part of the company's VOS family of optical probing products.

The VOTS unit is used to carry out breakage, wear and integrity checks and length and diameter measurements on cutting tools. Thanks to the dual vertical/90° version, it is ideal for every type of application, according to the company. It is completely wireless, thus installation is simple. The probe can be mounted on the dedicated magnetic base so that it can be removed easily from the working area to increase the available space. It can be used for twin applications in which part and tool checks are managed by a single optical receiver.
