Automatic cutting edge measurement

May 2011

{}IF-EdgeMaster is an optical 3D measurement system for automatic cutting edge measurement. The cutting edge measurement device is used in research and in production. Users measure form, radii and chipping of cutting edges. Smallest radii and angles are measured regardless of type, size, material and surface finish. In addition IF-EdgeMaster enables traceable roughness measurement of cutting edges.

Form, chipping and roughness measurement also in production with IF-EdgeMaster by Alicona.

. Measurement of form, chipping and roughness IF-EdgeMaster measures clearance, wedge, and chip angles, the basket arch form (“waterfall” or “trumpet”) as well as positive and negative bevel of cutting edges. Results achieve a high vertical resolution, even in a production environment with temperature fluctuations and vibrations. In addition to chipping users also achieve traceable roughness measurement results.

High resolution with high measurement speed IF-EdgeMaster measures radii from approximately 1µm. Results are traceable, repeatable and provided within about 20 seconds. Minimized user influence via fully automated measurements, robust and stable results, automatically compiled measurement reports as well as intuitive user guidance enhance efficiency in production. Components are measured without pre-treatment.

Cutting edge measurement of indexable inserts IF-EdgeMaster is mainly used for measuring indexable inserts. Wear analysis, measurement of form deviations as well as the automatic actual/target comparison of the actual geometry and CAD dataset are typical applications. Various mounting devices allow the measurement of drills, milling cutters and other tap tools.

Focus-Variation for area based 3D surface measurement IF-EdgeMaster is based on Focus-Variation. The technology‘s high measurement point density enables form and roughness measurement of surfaces across large measurement areas and volumes. Every measurement value automatically includes information for estimating the measurement uncertainty. As an area based technology, Focus-Variation is already included to the most recent EN ISO 25178.
