Tool and Process Monitoring. A solution that simply works.

It simply works! In technology the simplest solution is often the best. The less complicated a solution is, the more likely it will succeed and this holds true for the tool and process monitoring of BK Mikro. At first sight BK Mikro does not appear to be a high-tech product since the scanning is done by physically touching the object. But this is the very reason for its reliability, ease of maintenance and resistance against chips and coolant. With a number of connection options such as Profibus, DeviceNet or Digital I/O and its compact design, BK Mikro proves to be a highly flexible...

It simply works: BK Mikro Application Solutions: In automated manufacturing there are enormous possible uses for the BK Mikro. Below you’ll find just a few examples of typical monitoring functions. Position Recognition • etection of deviations D • Monitoring of tolerances • hecking material thickness C • Radial or linear scanning Tool Monitoring Measuring of Hidden Geometries • tationary and rotating tools S • nside tool magazine area or I inside machining area • Testing functions in narrow process areas • Application-specific wand types • adial scanning of spiral / R cutting edge Object...

BK Mikro is a solution that always works. The BK Mikro system consists of three components: the scanner, the control unit and the connection cable. The operating principle of BK Mikro is as simple as it is intelligent. The controller is given a 24vdc input or signal through a fieldbus master from the machine control. The scanner then moves the wand towards the position of the object it is checking. The result provided from the scanner is compared to the parameters and stored values defined in the control unit, resulting in an “OK” or “KO” signal transmitted to the machine control. Any...

TK9LIN50 Linear and precise: With its high repeatability the TK9LIN is ideally suited for uses where precise results are required. TK91A Powerful and highly precise: The TK91A is designed for the scanning of long tools and the detection of the smallest deviations. TK94A / TK94RL Robust and high-speed: The TK94 units are ideal for applications which require very durable scanners with extremely short scanning cycles. • 180° of travel in only 0.25 seconds • For different tool lengths • Tool diameters as small as 0.5 mm • Position or hole detection • Part ID or assembly applications • Ideal for...

Unequaled reliability: The scanner has an extremely rugged design and is absolutely impermeable to aggressive coolants and chips (IP67 Rated). The smooth body which allows for easy mounting houses a servo motor providing accurate measurements and increased product life. BK Mikro offers a large selection of scanners and wands for a wide range of applications. TK8A Compact and precise: The TK8 is well suited for precise scanning results with relatively short scanning cycles adding little or no cycle time to the machine. TK7A / TK7RL Compact and fast: The TK7 units are perfect for small areas...

It simply works: BK Mikro Various accessory options are available for BK Mikro which expand monitoring options and can fulfill all requirements. Air barrier adapters for use with scanners under extremely adverse monitoring conditions. Wands in various lengths and types, with different tips available depending on the application. Aluminum mounting brackets with self-locking screws allow for easy mounting of the scanner. Configuration software allows for easy initial setup and troubleshooting of systems. The easy to use Windows based software was developed specifically for the BK Mikro...
