Adjustment to the speed of light
Other advantages of the NC1 system are the ability to measure the tool in the entire length of the beam laser and measuring tools as small as 0.2 mm to 1 µm resolution. The medidión contactless also ensures that the protective layer of the CBN tools of high-performance will not suffer damage.
The NC1 is ideally suited for automated machining tool breakage detection, where a tool breakage can cause costly operations. After each machining, tools can be verified by making them pass through the beam.
Renishaw has developed software for a wide range of CNC controls allowing the setting of variety of tools with the NC1. Normal cycles include the adjustment of drills setting rotation of the length of dishes of blades, and rotation of the ranuradoras and bore diameter adjustment. The powerful software also allows to verify every blade of a dish of blades, as well as thermal compensation of changes in the machine is included in the cycles of software.
The NC1 system is based on the innovative laser technology that ensures their accuracy, as well as being easy to install and maintenance-free. A transmitter compact and robust laser emits a visible beam towards the receiver. The system detects when a tool cuts the laser beam and sends signals to the control of the machine, allowing to quickly determine the position of the ends, teeth or faces Court.
Both the transmitter and the receiver have a single MicroHole, an angular Overture of only 0.75 mm in diameter.
A continuous air stream emerges from the overtures of the laser beam to protect the system from taladrina, chips, pasta and graphite, without affecting their accuracy.
This protection is constant in any orientation and does not affect accuracy, both in waiting, in cycles of operation, as in any high-precision operation.
The NC1 is always ready to operate and does not require preheating, can perform rapid cycles of tool breakage detection
The MicroHole means that there are no moving parts in the system of protection, facilitating installation in most of the applications is not necessary to make changes to the control.
The NC1 also works with a single takes of air and does not require adjustments or cleaning once installed, reducing times of unemployment. To stop the drops of taladrina causing 'false points', Renishaw has developed circuitry that rejects these false points, eliminating the use of mechanical shutters.
The NC1 laser beam is constant in its entire length in diameter, which means that measurements taken at any point between the transmitter and the receiver will be just as accurate. Therefore, detection of break cycles are carried out passing with the tool through the beam at the closest point, eliminating unnecessary journeys and reduces cycle times. Detection of rupture can be used for such small tools as 0.06 in diameter.
