Really troublesome! "Blade Wear Management"

[Concern] I want to measure the wear of cutting tools; I want to manage cutting tool wear.

Metal blades are used for cutting and processing various materials such as food, wood, metal, and construction materials. New or freshly sharpened blades can cut well, but as their sharpness decreases, the quality of the cut material declines, and in the worst case, machinery can break down. Blades can regain their sharpness through re-sharpening. However, continuous re-sharpening can reduce their size, and in some cases, they may not fit the machinery or could damage the machinery. <Blade Management> The R shape (curved shape) at the cutting edge, the angle of the blade, and the overall length are generally managed items. <Management Method (Example)> To check the wear, press a board cut into the ideal shape or the worn-out shape against the blade and hold it up to a light source. Visually inspect the light leaking through the gap to assess the degree of wear. There are also methods to measure the angle of the blade or the tip R. <Easy Measurement> To measure easily, it is necessary to prepare specialized measuring instruments (gauges) or limit samples (masters or standards). Since they are specifically designed, they can be measured easily and accurately. Additionally, to measure multiple blades, designs may incorporate interchangeable measuring parts.
