Arndt Fielen, Sales Manager at Zecha: “The best possible surface quality is achieved through the precise and specific analysis of the entire process chain in both your own production facilities and those of your customer.” Photo: Zecha

“The production – including the grinding – of tools at accuracy levels down to the nearest µm requires modern machinery and highly qualified employees,” says Thomas Feile, test engineer at Mapal Dr. Kress KG. Photo: Mapal

Dirk Biermann, head of the Institute of Machining Technology (ISF) at TU Dortmund: “Tools nowadays usually require special microshaping of the cutting edges in order to ensure maximum productivity. This is why it is important to use suitable measuring systems and evaluation strategies for accurate analysis and quantification of the different aspects of the cutting edge micro-shape.” Photo: ISF

The communication and interface standard OPC UA represents a promising means of significantly reducing the work and costs involved in integrating measurement solutions in production. Photo: Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik

OPC UA Companion Specifications facilitate the configuration of machines and their data transfers. They also simplify the communication with IT systems as a means of improving the planning and control of production processes. Photo: Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik
