- Key Products/Technologies
- The main product line comprises tool and process monitoring systems consisting of control units, scanners, and accessories. Control units are available in three types: Basic for simple monitoring functions, Premium for monitoring up to 512 tools or functions, and Premium with Fieldbus for integration with CNC software via fieldbus masters like Profibus or DeviceNet. A micro-computer control unit initiates scanner movement and compares measurement results with defined parameters, transmitting 'OK' or 'KO' signals to the machine control unit.The main product line comprises tool and process monitoring systems consisting of control units, scanners, and accessories.

- Scanners are offered in various performance classes, including rotary scanners for orthogonal/axial scanning and linear scanners for stroke movements. The TK7A/TK7RL models are suitable for the price-sensitive segment, offering fast and simple monitoring, ideal for confined spaces and small tool diameters (0.1mm) with a 180° travel in 0.4 seconds. The TK8A model is designed for precise scanning results with relatively short cycles and a larger distance to the object, providing an accuracy of ±0.15° and a measuring range up to 380 mm.Scanners are offered in various performance classes, including rotary scanners for orthogonal/axial scanning and linear scanners for stroke movements.

- The TK91A/TK91UNI models are specialized for scanning long tools and detecting the smallest deviations, offering a high accuracy of ±0.05°. The TK94A/TK94RL models are robust and high-speed, ideal for applications requiring very durable scanners with extremely short scanning cycles (180° travel in 0.25 seconds) and tool diameters as small as 0.5 mm. The TK9LIN50 model is used for linear and precise scanning, featuring a 50mm measuring range and repeatability up to 0.05 mm. The TK96A/TK96RL models are compact and dynamic solutions for the smallest and narrowest process zones, featuring a stainless steel body and supporting tool diameters down to 0.1 mm.The TK91A/TK91UNI models are specialized for scanning long tools and detecting the smallest deviations, offering a high accuracy of ±0.05°.

- Scanning wands are available in various lengths and types, are replaceable, with a standard length of 165mm, a diameter of 1.2mm, and extendable up to 610mm. Specially hardened HSS steel wands are also available for rotating tools. The system utilizes a servo motor and encoder to 'learn' tool/object positions, continuously monitoring tool integrity and position in real-time throughout the machine cycle.Scanning wands are available in various lengths and types, are replaceable, with a standard length of 165mm, a diameter of 1.2mm, and extendable up to 610mm.
