Bruker Alicona EdgeMaster Automatic Cutting Tool Measurement System

The EdgeMaster series includes the Edge Master, EdgeMasterX and EdgeMasterHOB tool measuring systems. The measuring systems are used for high-resolution, fully automatic measurement of tool cutting edges in production. Whether you use an EdgeMaster in the measuring room or on the shop floor does not change the result: The measurements are high-resolution and robust even in the presence of vibrations, extraneous light and temperature fluctuations.

The EdgeMasterX allows users to verify multiple edges in just one measurement run. Additionally, the EdgeMaster X allows measurement of different edge parameters on diferent positions of a tool. In combination with a rotation unit, chamfered cutting edges of a tool are also detected in only one measuring run.

The hob measuring device in the EdgeMasterHOB is particularly applied in, for example, regrinding centres. A working distance of 33 mm allows effortless measurement of cutting edges even in areas that are hard to access. Users are able to measure chamfer, as well as edge roundness at the tooth flank, tooth root and tooth tip.
