1
Ergonomic operating elements
Daily users of presetting and measuring machines appreciate features such as the single-hand operating device.
2
Swivel-mounted optic carrier
Swivel-mounted transmitted light image processing for distortion-free measuring of form millings (nominal/actual comparison in section).
3
Electronic measuring sensor
For measuring straightness of groove, pitch, shape and position tolerance, run-out test flanges
4
Autofocus and hollow shaft encoder:
- Autofocus for automatic, operator-independent focusing of tool cutting edges - Fully automatic and reliable measuring of hob cutters - Hollow shaft encoder for high-resolution C-axis
5
High-precision spindle
With ace the tool post for steep tapers, hollow shaft tapers, Capto and Kennametal can be changed via one ball bushing: absolutely free of play and with guaranteed changeover precision of 0.001mm.
6
Membrane keyboard
For power-operated spindle clamping and spindle braking. All power-operated functions of the high-precision spindle are started by a light keystroke, which is simple, convenient and guarantees consistent accuracy.
7
Robust and able to withstand the production floor
Robust design, maintenance-free drives and guides, encapsulated measuring systems, computer ventilation, automatic monitoring and control of lighting are just some of the features which ensure operation under shop-floor conditions.
8
Pilot image processing
A unique system due to its: - intuitive graphical user interface - dynamic crosshair for precision - measurement in real time without stop delay for presetting - automatic detection of more than 200 cutting edge shapes - high image refresh rate for fast measurement results
9
hobCheck software package
For the measuring of large parameters on straight-fluted, cylindrical hob cutters according to DIN 3968.
10
Unique evaluation software
Allows automatic evaluating of large measurements according to DIN 3968, to display them clearly and to log them - repeatably and fast.
11
Label printer
Tool parameters such as ID and adapter numbers, Z, X and radius dimensions, QR, barcodes and much more can be printed out.
12
A4 colour laser printer
For report and list printing with a speed of up to 20 pages per minute. Universal paper cartridge, USB interface and network connection.HobCheck
The universal measuring machine for fully-automatic measuring and inspection of cylindrical hob cutters.

Overview
The hobCheck opens up new possibilities for comprehensive, economical and fully automatic measurement and inspection tasks on cylindrical hob cutters.
An intelligent combination of transmitted light image processing technology and sensors means more than 15 parameters – such as tooth profile, concentricity, wobble, pitch and shape tolerance – are assessed precisely in seconds.
User-friendly software and an intuitive graphical user interface allow for simple creation of measurement procedures, from random sampling to complete measurement tasks.
In addition, the hobCheck offers a comfortable, convenient wear and tear evaluation on the tooth head for regrinding.
