Three optical 3D measurement systems dedicated to cutting tool measurements
From September 19 to 24 Alicona will present three measurement systems dedicated to cutting tool measurements at EMO Hanover. IF-Real3D InfiniteFocus Real3D is an optical 3D micro coordinate measurement system for complete form measurement of cutting edges. Form, contour and roughness are measured in high resolution and out of every perspective. Users benefit from several functionalities of a coordinate measurement system and of a surface measurement device. The 360° measurement of drills, (...)

Optics to the service of production
For years we can find optical measuring tools in the heart of production workshops and development of self-controlling operators still fosters this trend. Measuring and control devices must be designed for this purpose. Marcel Aubert SA, specialist in optics, is recognized for its solutions dedicated to workshops. But its technical and optical expertise goes much farther since a significant part of its activities is to provide optical systems to be embedded in production or assembly (...)

Automatic cutting edge measurement
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. . (...)

Hardware-in-the-loop for the automotive industry
Hardware-in-the-loop - or HIL - has been a proven element of model-based development for many years. Machine models developed in simulation tools like Simulink® or MapleSim™ are transferred via automatic code generation to a real-time environment where they emulate the behavior of the system. The result is a secure development environment for critical testing of new functions. Hardware-in-the-loop on a B&R control platform is a secure development environment for the automotive industry.
