Alfa-Set Twincam Inspection Capabilities
Twincam digital image processing brings microscopic cutting-edge analysis directly to the shop floor with incident LED lighting, CAD DXF comparison, and sub-pixel edge detection.
Accurate determination of helix pitch, flute angle, and lead on end mills and reamers to verify geometry conformity.
Measures cutting edge bevels, chamfer widths, and perpendicular land lines automatically with sub-pixel edge detection.
Multi-step drill and form tool distance verification; measures axial steps, land lengths, and distance between cutting levels.
Evaluates primary and secondary clearance angles on cutting blades to detect premature tool wear or incorrect regrinding.
Corner radius, ball-nose curvature, and transitional blend angles inspected with automatic best-fit circle algorithms.
Import target CAD profile DXF drawings directly over live camera image for 1:1 nominal vs actual form tool comparison.
Complete Presetting & Tool Room Systems
From entry-level compact stands to motorized CNC optical presetters, concentricity testers, and taper cleaners.
Now equipped with incident LED light for direct cutting edge visual inspection and chip flaw identification.
Heavy-duty granite column presetters with motorized CNC axis, telecentric optics, and direct DNC postprocessors.
Shop-floor robust compact presetter with precision needle-bearing spindle, ideal for cell-side quick tool setting.
Grinded measuring platform for rotary cutting tools (face mills, end mills, drills, twin roughing heads) to eliminate runout errors.
Dedicated setting and height testing base for rotary cutting tools, precision ground for dial gauge and height indicator use.
4 x 90° indexing tool assembly station with universal taper adapters for safe, high-torque collet and retention knob tightening.
Protects machine spindle tapers and toolholder shanks, eliminating chips, dust, and micro-scratches to preserve interface runout.
Modular tool room testing station with interchangeable adapter sleeves for SK, BT, HSK, PSC, and Morse tapers.
