A tool setter is a sensor used to measure the length of tools on CNC machine tools. By automatically measuring the tool length with micron accuracy and feeding it back to the Numerical Control (NC), it compensates for tool wear and thermal displacement of the tool caused by heat. This allows CNC machine tools to demonstrate their original high processing accuracy. Tool setters also detect chipping or breaking of the cutting edge and automatically stop the machine to prevent the occurrence of defective products. The need for trial cuts by skilled operators during tool change and manual i......

Malleability and ductility are related terms and are important for selecting materials in manufacturing. To understand ductility and malleability, today we’ll delve deeper into their definitions, differences, examples of metals, measurement, calculation, and some frequently asked questions. What Is Ductility? Ductility is a physical property that measures the ability of a material to withstand significant plastic deformation before fracture. Knowing the ductility of materials is essential when the manufacturing process or applications have the corresponding requirement. Pla......
