The »hobCheck« universal measuring machine can measure and preset a variety of tools such as hob cutters, taps, end mills, step drills and forming tools.

The »hobCheck« offers very accurate measurements that are carried out in accordance with the relevant standards such as DIN 3968 and DIN 1829.

A complete measurement of a hob cutter according to DIN 3968 usually only takes a few minutes. The data creation for a new tool is required once and is also very quick.

The measuring probe makes it possible to measure parameters that remain hidden to the camera, such as the rake angle, the pitch and the flute direction. This is particularly interesting for resharpeners.

The measurement results are automatically evaluated according to the relevant standards and a specific report with graphics is created.

The »hobCheck« can be used in combination with the Automation Solution »roboSet 2«. This allows tools to be loaded, measured, sorted and documented fully automatically – 24/7 and without an operator.

The »hobCheck« has open data interfaces to transfer measurement data directly to CAD/CAM systems, grinding machines and tool management software. This allows processes to be digitalized end-to-end.

All measurement results are documented in detail and can be passed on to customers as inspection reports. This allows the quality of the tools to be fully verified.

The »hobCheck« enables fully automatic and precise measurement of grinding wheels. This reduces set-up costs and optimizes tool life.

The »hobCheck« can be integrated directly into the production process. Tool data can be transferred from CAD/CAM systems and nominal/actual comparisons can be used for optimized grinding process control.
