Broken Tool Detection System (KIT)- tool sensing PCS100

Buying a broken tool detection system is critical to many machining applications and to keep your part scrap percentages down. This broken tool sensor type is sometimes known as a whisker wand tool detection switch. Detect broken tools on CNC machines, drill machines and other applications with the most efficient solution. Tool broke detection in CNC machining applications are often in an environment that can be hard on any equipment, but these Tool breakage kits are well sealed and hold up to the challenge. Many people believe tool checking greatly reduces cycle time and when looking at the facts and proper installation, cycle time is minimal and in some applications non-existent since it can also be setup out of the work envelope.
