Cutting Tool Inspection System
May 1, 2014
The PG 1000 Advance REACTION gage and the PG 1000 Basic REACTION gage offer digital low light inspection technology for cutting tool inspection.
"We have upgraded our hardware for better repeatability," said a company spokesperson. "Segmented scale calibrations on any PG 1000 sold as a REACTION series gage can now be done over the entire working envelope of the microscope. Our new REACTION software makes both scale and edge detection inspections in real time. Make, save and recall inspection scenes for new tool inspections of a tool image using scales, screen, edge detection, comparisons or .dxf file overlays in multiple colors, and annotate the screen to make your own tool inspection document."
All systems are sold ready to use with standard V-block assemblies. Optional accessories are available. All machined PG 1000 components are made in the United States to Euro-Tech specification. All software is written by Euro-Tech Corporation.
"While the basic cutting tool may look similar to what was made 10 to 20 years ago, the similarity ends there," said the spokesperson. "Cutting tools manufactured today are made to tolerances of 1/10th of what was made 10 years ago. Cutting tool inspection using micrometers and indicators is gone. Toolmakers microscopes and comparators are insufficient for today's requirements. Today's manufacturers are measuring tool tolerances in microns, finishes are highly polished and possibly diamond coated, making contactless inspection the only acceptable method. Traceability for ISO is no longer an option but a requirement from the reticle certification to gage calibration reports to the tool inspection report. The PG 1000 REACTION Series by Euro-Tech Corporation meets and exceeds these demands."
