The PG1000-400 is a tool geometry inspection systems durable enough for everyday shop floor use and precise enough for a metrology laboratory’s incoming and outgoing quality inspections.  All systems utilize a 5MP camera which reproduces and displays high resolution cutting tool images on a 4K monitor.

All PG1000-400 systems collect and display data from the horizontal (X), vertical (Y), base block/tool holder rotation (A), cross-hair rotation (Z), magnification (M) and focus (F) Axes.

The data collected and displayed by these three data encoders: A, M and F Axes, decreases the amount of information that needs to be manually entered into the software by the user. These extra encoders also increase the probability of accurate and repeatable inspection results and limit the possibility of human error. The additional encoders allow the user to recall and establish identical inspection scenes and utilize the REACTION software to its full potential.

 

  • Pivoting Base Block/Tool Holder (A Axis)
    • PG1000-400 models include a magnetic encoder which collects and displays base block location data in degrees and minutes. This feature allows the user to be more consistent when setting up repeat tool inspections. New for 2025, all PG1000-400 systems with the A Axis encoder will also include a manual plunger with hard stops at -90°, 0° and 90°.
  • Microscope
    • Magnification (M Axis):
      • PG1000-400 models include a magnetic encoder which will automatically synchronize the scope magnification and the software.
    • Magnification Range:
      • PG1000-400: 12.5 – 145x
      • PG1000-400-1.0X: 25 – 290x
      • PG1000-400LT: 8 – 100x
    • Magnification Levels/Detent Click Stops:
      • PG1000-400 models each have 14 magnification levels.
    • Microscope Assembly:
      • PG1000-400 models have a microscope assembly mounted on a linear bearing. Since the microscope can travel it has a larger focal range accommodating larger tools up to 3.0” in diameter.
        • PG1000-400 models have a focal range up to 40mm.
    • Focus (F Axis):
      • PG1000-400 models include an encoder on the focus assembly of the microscope which collects and displays the focus location in the software. This feature includes an on screen focus bar which allows the user to quickly find the centerline of the tool and be more consistent when setting up repeat tool inspections.
