Turning Inspection & Tool Setting

Turning Inspection Systems 

Some of the applications of probing on Lathes are:

• Identify if the work piece is loaded improperly and stop the machine before damage is done.
• Measure the rough part and pre-determine the exact number of passes that will be required thereby reducing the amount of wasted air cuts.
• Control the process by measuring part features and then adjusting offsets or stopping the machine if the process is out of established tolerances.
• Output part dimensions to part history archiving.
• Post process inspection eliminates the need to move the part to a CMM and allows "Constrained State" inspection after machining.

Installing probes allows for continuous process monitoring.

Turning Tool Setting

Contact tool setting systems for lathes provide fast and inexpensive tool setting solutions. Lathe Tool Setting Systems can save you money by measuring an entire turret of tools in minutes; saving time and the possibility of operator setting errors. Tools can be easily re-checked for broken tools or tool wear and offsets can automatically be updated. 
  
Tool Setting Arms can be removable, manual swing or automatic swing type. CNC Engineering will analyze your requirements and then choose and install the proper arm to fit your exact requirements.
