TRS2

TRS2 non-contact broken tool detection system for machining centres.

A single-sided device featuring an integral laser transmitter and detector, the TRS2 recognises the presence of a rotating tool, typically in less than 1 second.

About TRS2

The new TRS2 is a cost-effective broken tool detection system. Its ToolWise™ electronics have been enhanced to make detection of small, dark tools more reliable, saving time and money.

The unique tool recognition electronics determine whether a tool is present by analysing the reflective light pattern from the rotating tool. Random light patterns created by coolant and swarf are ignored, eliminating the chance of failing to detect a broken tool due to coolant obscuring the beam.

Features and benefits

• Cost effective and reliable
• Ultra quick detection - tool spends about 1 second in the laser beam
• Simple installation - only one small unit to install
• Simple set-up using specifically written software for TRS2
• Wide range of tools can be detected

Improvements over TRS1

• Improved tool detection reliability
• Reduced cycle time
• Works at a greater range of spindle speeds
