Marposs Corp Non-Contact Visual Tool Setter VTS

Description
DESCRIPTION Visual Tool Setter is a system which allows to realize complex measurement applications regarding: Tool shape and size detection Tool breakage detection Tool presetting for unknown tools Length, diameter and also more other measurements like TIR, Cutter Radius, and tool center coordinates with rotating tool Tool wear compensation and integrity check of single cutter profile and surface Machine axes thermal drift compensation Check of micro-tools with small diameters and different shapes that are involved in micro precision part processing and mold production Fast measure can be get especially with static tools like turning, or in case of multi-cutter tool with indexed positions One of the main features of Visual Tool Setter is its protection system, which allows excellent measurement performances even in presence of coolant or dust. When checks are not being performed, pneumatic shutters cover and protect the optical lenses, keeping them mechanically separated from harsh machine environment; during the measurement cycle on the contrary, a patented solution does come out an air flow from the optical window rejects chips and coolant drops. Such double protection (pneumatic and mechanical) guarantees to users the excellence of measurement results. Thanks to the flexibility of the interface, Visual Tool Setter can be programmed to be adapted to the machine type and to the implemented measurement cycle, performing the checks in real machining conditions.

Datasheet
Datasheet Summary
Powered by GS/AI

The VTS is a non-contact visual tool setter for CNC machines, used to measure and inspect tool geometry with sub-micron accuracy. It uses a CCD sensor and front LEDs to capture full-tool images, detecting diameter, length, runout, curvature radius, and center position. Available in SF-45, WF-85, and WF-170 models, it measures diameters from 10 µm to 165 mm, with resolution of 0.1 µm or 0.4 µm and repeatability of 0.2 µm or 0.8 µm. Protected by pneumatic shutters and air barriers, it is rated IP67 for coolant and dust environments. It integrates with Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, Mitsubishi, Okuma, and Sodick CNCs via automatic cycles. Operating temperature is 5-50 °C at ≤90% humidity. Weights are 2.58 kg for SF-45, 2.75 kg for WF-170, and 2.93 kg for WF-85.

DESCRIPTION

Visual Tool Setter is a system which allows to realize complex measurement applications regarding:

  • Tool shape and size detection
  • Tool breakage detection
  • Tool presetting for unknown tools
  • Length, diameter and also more other measurements like TIR, Cutter Radius, and tool center coordinates with rotating tool
  • Tool wear compensation and integrity check of single cutter profile and surface
  • Machine axes thermal drift compensation
  • Check of micro-tools with small diameters and different shapes that are involved in micro precision part processing and mold production
  • Fast measure can be get especially with static tools like turning, or in case of multi-cutter tool with indexed positions

One of the main features of Visual Tool Setter is its protection system, which allows excellent measurement performances even in presence of coolant or dust. When checks are not being performed, pneumatic shutters cover and protect the optical lenses, keeping them mechanically separated from harsh machine environment; during the measurement cycle on the contrary, a patented solution does come out an air flow from the optical window rejects chips and coolant drops. Such double protection (pneumatic and mechanical) guarantees to users the excellence of measurement results.

Thanks to the flexibility of the interface, Visual Tool Setter can be programmed to be adapted to the machine type and to the implemented measurement cycle, performing the checks in real machining conditions.
