The new Visual Tool Check 1.6 software: AI-driven wear measurement
The VT 122 measuring camera and the new Visual Tool Check (VTC) software enable automated, AI-driven flank wear measurement for faster and more reliable tool monitoring. Automated process documentation is also part of the workflow—a key benefit for industries such as aerospace and medical tech.
Flank wear measurement is guided by user-friendly VTC cycles. The control starts by moving the slowly rotating tool in front of the camera for panoramic imaging. Based on this image, the VTC software automatically determines the amount of flank wear. The AI-determined results for each tool edge are displayed in a user-friendly visualization. Maximum and average flank wear levels are shown and automatically saved. Users can also define specific warnings, configure tool locking thresholds, track wear levels over time, and export wear data as CSV files.
