LaserUltra is an automatic in-process digital or Analog measurement and compensating system for a range of cutting tool parameters on FX, TX, and MX machines. LaserUltra is ideal for measuring and compensating tools to maintain tight tolerances (+/-0.002mm) in unmanned production grinding.

LaserUltra is permanently mounted inside the machine and will not interfere with typical grinding processes and accessories. Using the laser, the operator can perform accurate in-process measurement and compensation without removing tools from the machine.

FAST AND ACCURATE LASERULTRA (DIGILOG) MEASUREMENT – INDUSTRY FIRST

FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Automated in-process tool diameter and profi le

compensation • No operator intervention• Suitable for batch production with lights out

manufacturing• Consistency and repeatability• Reduced setup times• Non-contact measuring means no tool damage possible• Reduction of scrap tools• High productivity due to faster measurement times • Measurement reports and QC Data for analytics

A measurement report can be generated for each tools in batch and report includes

• Best fit radius• Accuracy of profile measurement

to 4 decimal places for metric• Scanned or number of points

based on application

The following operations are supported in iGrind – Some for digitising only and the others for both measurement and compensation of tool geometries.
