This means that Dyna Line Portable can measure a cutting tool diameter and total indicated runout (TIR) more precisely than laser-dot measurement systems, says the company. When determining TIR, it can easily measure tools with an odd number of teeth, up to nine flutes.
The system can measure tools in a range of 0.1 to 50 mm, using offsets for dimensions over 4 mm, and at rotation speeds of up to 400 m/min. As it is based on optical, non-contact operation, Dyna Line Portable avoids the risk of damage to delicate tools.
