High-precision, high-speed, non-contact tool measuring and broken tool detection on all sizes of vertical and horizontal machining centres, multi-tasking machines and all gantry machining centres.
Precision optics
Allows fast, non-contact tool setting and tool breakage detection on a variety of machining centres. Available as fixed system and separate system variants, the NC4 incorporates the unique MicroHoleâ„¢ protection system and the innovative fail safe PassiveSealâ„¢, maintaining IPX8 environmental protection.
Precision optics are supplied as standard. These enable the compact series to achieve unsurpassed performance in a unit particularly suited to small machines and machines where space is at a premium, while separate systems allow simple installation on large machine tools with a range of up to 5 metres.
For applications using small diameter tools, the NC4+ is available, providing excellent performance with small tools and superb tool-to-tool accuracy.
