The »hobCheck« universal measuring machine can measure and adjust a wide variety of tools, such as hob cutters, tap drills, end mills, step drills, and form tools.

The »hobCheck« provides highly accurate measurements that are performed in accordance with relevant standards such as DIN 3968 and DIN 1829.

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

The measuring probe makes it possible to measure parameters that remain hidden from the camera, such as the rake angle, pitch, and flute direction. This is particularly useful for re-sharpening operations.

The measurement results are automatically evaluated in accordance with the relevant standards, and a detailed report complete with graphs is generated.

The »hobCheck« can be used in combination with the »roboSet 2« automation solution. This allows tools to be loaded, measured, sorted, and documented fully automatically—around the clock and without an operator.

The »hobCheck« features open data interfaces that allow measurement data to be transferred directly to CAD/CAM systems, grinding machines, and tool management software. This enables end-to-end digitalization of processes.

All measurement results are documented in detail and can be provided to customers as test reports. This ensures that the quality of the tools can be fully verified.

For grinding shops, »hobCheck« enables fully automated and precise measurement of grinding wheels. This helps reduce setup costs and optimize service life.

»hobCheck« can be integrated directly into manufacturing processes. This allows tool data to be imported from CAD/CAM systems and used to perform target/actual comparisons for optimized grinding process control.
