The company introduces a new measuring device

This title is not only a headline in the daily press, really it is. Although he is not heart stops, but machine. The height of the art, also called a center of rotation, has become a term typical of the area of manufacture turned parts since there is this process of machining by chip startup. The height of the art sets the behavior of cutting tools, life, vibration, surface quality or dimensional stability, to name only some points. This especially affects the area of the manufacture of turned parts of accuracy for medical science and laboratory, as well as the manufacture of watches and miniature pieces. Unfortunately, in order to respect the height of the point, often accepted inevitably very high costs of preparation and implementation times up.

In practice, adjustment and measurement of the height of the art it is usually performed so very complicated, long and imprecise. He has often tried to have the tool of the rotating tools so that when they are mounted it occur automatically correct tip height. But the attempt fails by support or own plates cutting tolerances. The adjustment of the height of the art tools for internal machining is really problematic. This is added the fact that, the smaller is the perimeter of the piece, the greater the influence of the height of the art in the quality of the machining or parts. Tools of twist in the area of the machining of small parts are often so complicated that it is not possible to adjust the height of the art with auxiliary means available in the market. Therefore, the verification or adjustment of the height of the art has been and remains an important issue for the units of pre-reglaje and measurement tools, which are in accordance with the dimensions of the rotating tools or is verified as a court. So far only used simple clocks of measurement with plate of contact which, due to the friction, damage the edges of court, may not take into account the negative angles of detachment and are too vague to meet the current demands.

The pre-reglaje and Freiberg Zoller measuring equipment specialist am Neckar has devoted especially in recent years to the subject "height of the art" and has invested in him great potential for development. A new measuring device for aircraft "hyperion" series has been created. It consists of a CCD camera integrated ergonomic way in the optical media of pre-reglaje and measurement apparatus and which represents the image of the cutting edge of the tool with a 35% increase in software "inScreen" (Figure 2) of the electronic device of Zoller. In addition, measuring device has lighting LED incident light developed by Zoller (Figure 3), which guarantees the proven lighting of all the rotating tools cutting edge geometries. Homogeneous lighting and proven representation are basic prerequisites for a measurement, adjustment and verification accurate. In a very comfortable way, the software "in-Screen" offers you a large number of functions. They include the display of lines of adjustable frames, swivel angle meter, displaying DXF graphics and templates, printing and storage of the image of the cutting edge of cutting (figures 4 - 6).

To meet the demands ever-increasing and the multiple functions of modern machinery, measuring device camera can rotate ± 90 ° and index (figures 7-9). In this way, the camera can register without problems tools with different provisions of the quadrants and represent them to its measurement and adjustment. They disappear the expensive buildings for special adapters, and thus can eliminate large costs and efforts...

Modern machinery or Rotary Centers with CNC, as regards the "height of the art" Additionally offer the possibility of controlling the cars of the axes (axis and). In this case, the height of the tip of the tool does not conform to a predefined value, but it is recorded in his current position. «This registered value for ' hyperion 'and the Chamber of incident light is processed in the electronic device of Zoller, airs on the label or is transferred directly to the control of the machine.

Machining machine uses this value of measurement of the height of tip (Center of rotation) to fit tools for the machining of the height of the art process. In this way, it completely disappears the adjustment of the height of the art work, machining machine is used in an even more efficient way and is greatly reduced the process of preparation.

This new Zoller measuring device has received very positive evaluations in the specialized world and is used successfully in renowned companies. In particular, manufacturers of rotating machines with CNC control can now increase the profitability of its customers through a device of pre-reglaje and measurement with optical measurement device of the height on the axis and can consolidate its competitiveness against the growing pressure from abroad.
