Abstract
The comparative analysis of two different optical measuring systems enabling the reconstruction of the cutting edges geometry is presented. For research uses: focus-variation microscope Alicona G4 and professional 3D scanner Zeiss Comet LƎD 2.
Highlights
Optical measurements offer much greater flexibility than contact measurements and allow the collection and processing of large sets of points within a few seconds during one measurement [4]
The quick and precise obtaining of results with the use of optical measuring devices allows you to supervise the geometry of the cutting tool both during the manufacturing process and after the working period
Two complete solutions for tool geometry measurements were used in the research: the Comet LƎD 2 blue laser scanner from Zeiss and the Infinite Focus G4 focal point microscope from Alicona (2.5× magnification, resolution 1624 × 1232 points, field of view 5.7 × 4.3 mm)
Summary
The comparative analysis of two different optical measuring systems enabling the reconstruction of the cutting edges geometry is presented. Depending on the size of the element being analyzed, the optical devices are intended for measurements on a micro or macro scale and describe the object by measuring the coordinates of points [5]. They are based on image analysis [3, 6], and the key advantage of such systems is the speed of measurement. The quick and precise obtaining of results with the use of optical measuring devices allows you to supervise the geometry of the cutting tool both during the manufacturing process and after the working period. An effective method of selecting an optical monitoring system for the production of cutting tools and assessing the state of their wear is sought
