The system: automatic cutting edge measurement by 360°

IF-ToolPrecision is a cutting edge measurement device to automatically measure shaft tools. The system is optimized to measure taps. It is a coordinate measurement device, surface measurement device, contour and roundness measurement device in only one system. Users measure up to 30 parameters throughout the 360° rotation of the tools.
360° measurement of micro machined components with InfiniteFocus plus rotation unit

The function: roughness measurement, form measurement, contour measurement

Users measure form, roughness, and contour including roundness. In research and development the tool inspection system is used for tool optimization. In production integrated quality assurance the system is mainly applied to measure tap tools.

The benefits: areal based measurement at high user friendliness

IF-ToolPrecision performs high resolution measurements and is intuitively operated. There are no time consuming calibration routines necessary as the insertion of the tool is very simple with auto calibration included. This increases both measurement speed and accuracy. Results include OK/NOT OK status, tolerances and are visualized in registered color information.

The application: high resolution measurement of taps and shaft tools

In tool development, IF-ToolPrecision is used to optimize shaft tools such as drills, milling cutters etc. When used in the automatic mode, the system is applied for the automatic measurement of user defined parameters of taps. Users measure up to 30 parameters throughout the 360° rotation of tools. Usually, these parameters are measured via at least two different measurement systems.

The technology: Focus-Variation for areal based surface measurement

IF-ToolPrecision is based on Focus-Variation. The optical technology delivers a measurement point density of more than 100 mil measurement points which enables form and roughness measurement of even large measurement areas and volumes. As an area based technology, Focus-Variation is already included in the most recent EN ISO standard 25178. With each measurement, users automatically receive data for evaluating the measurement uncertainty.

3d micro-coordinate measurement technique for roughness and form measurement

Alicona offers optical 3d surface measurement systems for quality assurance in research and production. Core competence is the measurement of roughness and form also across large measurement areas and volumes. The cutting edge measurement and the measurement of small radii and angles are typical applications. Focus-Variation, the core technique of the InfiniteFocus line, combines the traditional surface metrology and the micro coordinate measurement technology. This technology achieves traceable and repeatable results in highest resolution even in production.
