An inspection machine this cheap?
… it can’t be good!
… or can it? Let us convince you.

For those who expect more:

Unbeatable Image Sharpness
Only those who see clearly can measure precisely. Our 4K camera, equipped with high-quality optics and precise zoom, captures every detail – for accurate and reliable measurement results.

Magnification up to 300x (standard)
Alternatively, machines with magnification up to 1000x are available – whether 300x, 500x, 750x, or the maximum: with Toollense, even the smallest micro-tools can be inspected accurately and reliably.

Never measure incorrectly again
Automatic Zoom Recognition – the Toollense software automatically detects the selected zoom and perfectly adjusts the lighting. This way, precision becomes standard.

Intuitive and User-Friendly Software
Our intuitive and user-friendly software enables anyone to perform precise measurements quickly and easily. With a clearly structured user interface and simple functions, measuring becomes a breeze, regardless of experience or technical background.

Ergonomic Design
Toollense is designed for user-friendly and comfortable handling.

Massive Base for Maximum Precision
A massive base is essential for long-lasting precise measurements. Toollense is designed to meet these requirements: it is aligned exactly on three points and guarantees a foundation for long-term measurement accuracy and high reliability with its 7 cm thick, stable, and high-precision granite plate. Therefore, Toollense is ideal for precise requirements directly in the production or in the measurement room.

Service
Our machines are highly sustainable and require minimal maintenance. Should a service be necessary, we can initially provide quick support via remote maintenance to find uncomplicated solutions. If an on-site technician is needed, we can respond promptly from Urbach (closed by Stuttgart/Germany) and will be with you as soon as possible. Additionally, all necessary spare parts are available from stock. With us, you have a fair and reliable partner who is always there for you and on whom you can sustainably depend.

… the sharpest image!

Sharp: with world-leasing imaging!

The built-in 4K camera is worldwide the best available camera in the market and ensures the sharpest possible images to the screen. With the 300x optical magnification, you can inspect cutting tools from a diameter bigger than 0.8mm. For microtools, an optional lens with 700x magnification is available to measure cutting tools in the micro range from a diameter starting at 0.05mm.

Sharp: with innovative & perfect illumination!

Light is an extremely important factor in obtaining the best image quality. Only when getting sharp edges and perfect illumination precise edge detection will be possible. That’s why ToolLense takes much care of innovative and perfect illumination. Toollense offers an automatic backlighting which adjusts the brightness completely automized when changing the graduation. The ring light up-front is divided into 4 areas of 90 degrees. Each of 90 degrees can be switched on and off individually. The frontal ring light can be moved lengthwise and adjusted to the optimal position. Additionally, there is the freehand light – just in case there is a lack of light for your cutting tool somewhere.
All the 3 lights are infinitely adjustable manually.

unbeatable Sharp = unbeatable Precision

The extremely sharp image in combination with the perfect illumination enables highly precise measurements. Cutting tools can be measured manually and with high precision by using the axes via the crosshairs. Alternatively, ToolLense offers the possibility to perform measurements in the 0.001mm range with its innovative and highly precise edge detection. Angles, lengths, diameters, widths etc. of cutting tools such as end-mills or drills and so on can be measured quickly and easily.

Clamping equipment

Precise: with innovative clamping!

Clamp your cutting tools such as milling cutters, drills or similar in the prism support. The adjustable spring force ensures that the shank of your cutting tool rests exactly and precisely and runs perfectly round radially. With the magnetic ring, the cutting tool is positioned exactly axially, regardless of whether it is a milling cutter or drill, and does not change its position even when rotating.

Alternative: roller clamp

Alternative: V-block

Application

Application examples

With ToolLense, any cutting tool, such as milling cutters, drills, saw blades, disc cutters, whatever, can be measured easily and precisely.

With the axes and the help of the crosshairs, measurements can be made easily and quickly. The crosshairs recognise edges and changes its colour. That makes measurement very easy for the user. Diameters, lengths, widths, distances or angles can be measured quickly, easily and with high precision.

ToolLense is particularly proud of its innovative and exceptionally precise edge detection. With the help of edge detection, edges can be determined and measured in a flash with a simple mouse click. Distances, angles on cutting tools such as milling cutters or drills can be easily determined according to specifications.

Another high-precision feature is the automatic radius edge detection. In combination with the feature for contour recording and precise clamping devices, radius measurements in the smallest µm-range are possible.

ToolLense simple determines run-out by finding the highest points of each cutting edge. Here again, edge detection and a precise clamping device play a major role in accuracy.

Comparison measurements according to CAD data or an image comparison directly on the screen are also possible, as is simple automation of the individual measurement processes in the image.
