Grinding Journal - Fall 2007 - (Page 9) Other perspectives on CNC tool measuring ool manufacturers and cutting tool users have different, but overlapping, views on the need for CNC tool inspection. A tool manufacturer wants to minimize scrap and maintain smooth and efficient tool production. He also wants to make sure his customers don’t reject his tools. An end-user (e.g. an automotive manufacturer or an aerospace company) also wants to produce his goods efficiently and at high quality, but for him cutting tools are part of his process, not his end product. (For one user’s perspective, see the article on Toyota on page 6.) Preventing the pain of rejection Recently, a major Midwest tool manufacturer had a large batch of reamers rejected by one of its biggest accounts (a big car manufacturer in the area). The tool had a very tight tolerance for concentricity and this batch didn’t cut the mustard. At that point the auto plant was about to run out of tools due to the unexpected T The Walter Helicheck uses powerful software and hightech cameras mounted on CNC axes to measure features that can not be inspected using manual equipment, like rake angle, clearance angle on the OD, or clearance at a step.
