Marposs Offers Compact Optical Tool Setter for Small Applications

Marposs, a leader in measurement, test and inspection technologies, has expanded its VTS (visual tool setter) family with the new VTS SF-45 Compact, suited for non-contact, optical measurement of small, complex-shaped tools in constrained working spaces such as micro-machining, semi-conductor or moldmaking applications. The VTS SF-45 units are installed inside the machine working area to monitor actual tool working conditions without any contact while the tool is able to rotate at full spindle speed (up to 80k rpm) during data acquisition. Since there is no need to slow the spindle, pre-setting time can be reduced and measurement accuracy is increased to better eliminate collision hazards.
