Camera based tool measurement Image-based tool metrology is the next evolutionary step for an industry facing increasing demands for accuracy, speed, and reduced cost. A quantum leap from an old-school tool setter. With the full picture of the tool, the CU2 Tool is the perfect companion to the smart factory in an industry 4.0 setting. The information it can provide outperforms any conventional tool setter. With its data capture, the CU2 Tool can be a key indicator of not only the tool condition and quality but also the health of the machine itself. The CU2 Tool is built with the milling machine in mind. It is made to endure the harsh environment of chips and splashing oil, and is made to deliver reliable measurement results even in the dense oil mist. To harness the true precision of the machines, reliable measurements must be attainable in its true machining environment, not just in laboratory conditions. As a tool setter with sub-micron repeatability at 6σ, and the best tool-to-tool accuracy in the market, it is a natural choice for any workshop who wants to lower scrap, win contracts and save money on tool costs and setup time. Good measurement equipment must adapt to the machines, not the other way around. The CU2 Tool is highly configurable. From large gantry machines to jukebox sized micro milling machines, the CU2 Tool can be adapted to it: Two different magnifications (x21 and X67) capable to measure tools from 0.1mm to 75mm tools. Two different heights of the sensors (160mm and 110mm) Two different bridge lengths (80mm and 160mm)… … and for extreme flexibility the bridge can be omitted completely in the split configuration.
