Are you having trouble detecting durability and small diameter tools (φ0.1mm~)?
BK Micro can prevent the occurrence of defects by safely, reliably, and quickly detecting tool breakage in advance.
Revolutionary tool wear detection system. Available in two types for lathes and machining centers, equipped with servo motors and encoders, allowing easy condition setting and changes by connecting to a PC via USB port. Common features include: ■ Cycle time is fast at 90°, ranging from 0.13 to 0.9 seconds. ■ Adjustable tool contact pressure. ■ Memory for tool contact angle. ■ Long lifespan of 5 million cycles. ■ Both controller and scanner are compact. Features for lathes include: ■ Capable of detecting extremely small tools of 0.1mm. ■ Easy setup through simple teaching. ■ Can detect up to 2 tool positions. Features for machining centers include: ■ Tool wear detection possible without sacrificing machining time by installing in the tool magazine. ■ Capable of setting and storing configurations for up to 512 tools. ■ Compatible with Profibus and DeviceNet, allowing direct connection to the machine's NC device for reduced wiring and PC-less setup and adjustments (input from NC device).
