Better Tooling, More Precision

Demands for higher precision machining can’t be met without more accurate tooling. Here are some of the latest systems that can measure tooling more efficiently and effectively.

For off-line part measurement of fluted cutting tools up to 50 mm with Industry 4.0 connectivity, communication and control capabilities, the Beta LaserMike Z-Mike Pro gauge from NDC provides ±0.5 m accuracy, absolute reliability and ±0.13 m repeatability for dimensional measurements of outer diameter, ovality, taper, TIR, runout, effective cutting diameter and more.

Measure Fluted Cutting Tools with Absolute Accuracy, Reliability and Repeatability
For machine shops facing tighter tolerances and pressure to turn out precision parts more efficiently, the Z-Mike Pro gauge from NDC provides precision over the entire measurement range with no recalibration, no need to center the object to be measured, and measurements that are traceable to national standards.

How to Easily Inspect Machine Spindle Tapers
To ensure that high precision machining is taking place at all times, the Dyna Contact ceramic taper gage from BIG KAISER is used to check the geometric accuracy of a machine spindle taper by visually comparing the contact of the gage to the spindle.

Advanced Optical Comparator with Touchscreen Geometric Display
The M2 2D processor on the PH-A14 comparator from Mitutoyo features a touchscreen geometric measurement display that generates distances and tangent lines from within the graphical part view and geometric tolerancing to measure features, set nominals, apply tolerances and view deviation results with only a few quick clicks.
