Measurement and Inspection tools for the cutting tool manufacturer.

For several years Lightway Systems Corp. has been designing and manufacturing a variety of non-contact inspection systems to meet the needs of the cutting tool manufacturer. We are conversant with the technology, terminology and stringent "Gage R&R" requirements, this experience has allowed us to develop the tools specific to the task.

Our systems are in use by leading manufacturers in both the North American and European markets performing high-accuracy, non-contact, measurement and inspection procedures unique to this industry.

Software that reads and writes to host databases ensures data integrity for both measurement parameters and inspection results. From chip-breakers to coatings, radii to relief angles, Lightway Systems Corp. has provided a system to ensure quality.

From our first system which inspected ANSI carbide inserts for; size, colour (coating), tip radius, IC, height, relief angle and chipbreaker configuration at a rate of 1800 / hour to our tip-indexability measurement system, accurate to .0002" (5m), we have consistently provided tools that maximize production while ensuring your customer's satisfaction.

The following is a sample of some of the various systems available: As a custom system supplier these represent the starting point; all systems can be supplied to your specifics.

With systems starting under $10,000 we encourage you to review the detailed literature outlining the capabilities of each of these. We welcome any questions or a specific request for capabilities to meet your needs.
