(Marposs: Auburn Hills, MI) -- In today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, efficiency, accuracy, and reliability are more critical than ever. Tool setting plays a pivotal role in achieving these goals. Toward that end, Marposs has introduced the ML3G, a noncontact tool measurement system that sets a new standard in tool control directly on the machine.

Noncontact measurement: Protecting tools and enhancing accuracy

Unlike traditional mechanical tool setters, the ML3G operates without physical contact. By measuring tools through the interruption of a laser beam, ML3G eliminates the risk of damage to small, fragile, or coated tools. This noncontact method also allows measurements at real cutting speeds, even at thousands of RPM, ensuring accurate results that are unaffected by run-out or dynamic length variations.

The ML3G is designed for flexibility, capable of measuring a wide range of tools and performing multiple types of inspections. It reduces manual errors and streamlines production processes.
