What can be done to shorten processing time... The reduction of processing time has been and will continue to be a challenge. In the processing field, there is a daily battle against time. In the past, after processing with a machine, the workpiece would be measured with instruments like microscopes, and if any corrections were needed, it would be set back on the machine for reprocessing... This repetition was the norm. While it is true that processing takes time, there are many instances where setting up takes a significant amount of time, especially for complex shapes or tight tolerances, which require even more effort in setting the workpiece. I am convinced that reducing the time spent on re-setting the workpiece is directly linked to shortening processing time. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The first on-machine measurement device was developed under the name "S-1000." Its features were targeted towards die-sinking electrical discharge machines and wire electrical discharge machines, and it was used in our company’s operations. We attempted to sell it beyond internal use, but it did not sell as well as we had hoped, leading to many challenges. In response, we established the Planning and Development Department in 2016 to overcome the challenges of the on-machine measurement device and seek further evolution. One year after its establishment, through trial and error, the new on-machine measurement device 'NK-2000' was born. Measurement work is essential in the manufacturing process of mold components. The NK-2000, developed by our company engaged in precision mold component manufacturing, is a measurement system using a camera that breaks the conventional wisdom of measuring processed products. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

By utilizing the "NK-2000," measurements can be taken without removing the workpiece from the processing machine, allowing for the additional processing dimensions to be understood while still in the chuck state, thus achieving improved processing accuracy and reduced processing time. The imaging unit is equipped with coaxial and ring lighting. Brightness adjustment can be operated via a tablet computer, which serves as the controller, clearly capturing the edges of the workpiece. The displayed image can be digitally zoomed from the normal 100 times up to 1600 times, enabling edge recognition of the workpiece with a resolution of 1μm/pixel. 【Features】 ■ Improved processing accuracy and reduced processing time ■ Imaging unit includes coaxial and ring lighting ■ Brightness adjustment can be operated via the tablet computer controller ■ Edge recognition of the workpiece with a resolution of 1μm/pixel ■ Selectable measurement menus (R measurement, vertical line measurement, virtual intersection, angle measurement) ■ Measurement result coordinates can be registered, making pitch measurement easy *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The onboard measuring device "NK-2000" is equipped with various functions. For example, it has "processing surface edge detection and zoom-up functionality." Image resolution: 1μm/pixel. It can be variably adjusted from 100x to 1600x using digital zoom. Additionally, the "calculation function" allows for shape measurement of processed products from various calculation menus, and it can also perform pitch measurements between processing parts by utilizing the measurement result history. It is also possible to import CAD data, display it in sync with images, and obtain differences as measurement values. 【Features】 ■ Processing surface edge detection and zoom-up functionality ■ Various calculation functions ■ CAD drawing comparison function *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce an example of the wireless 'NK-2000' that we actually use in our company. The key feature is that it allows movement between processing machines without wiring within the factory. After charging overnight, you can simply set the imaging unit on the processing machine the next morning after processing, and immediately start CAD measurement. The charged AC battery can operate throughout the entire next day. 【Features】 ■ Allows movement between processing machines without wiring within the factory ■ After charging overnight, simply set the imaging unit on the processing machine the next morning after processing to immediately start CAD measurement ■ The charged AC battery can operate throughout the entire next day *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "NK-2000" is a new type of onboard measurement system that allows for immediate onboard measurement of processed products without altering them after machining. Using measurement menus for linear dimensions, circles, and angles, it is possible to measure the shape of the processed products. Additionally, by sliding and touching the screen, the size of the grid lines on the screen can be changed, making it easy to adjust the size of the R parts of the workpiece being measured. 【Features】 ■ Eliminates variability by the measurer ■ Allows for ultra-precise alignment ■ Measurement history is stored in memory, enabling multiple correlated measurements and pitch measurements ■ Size verification is easily achievable *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
