A single-sided device featuring an integral laser transmitter and detector, the TRS2 recognises the presence of a rotating tool, typically in less than 1 second.

About TRS2

TRS2 coolant The new TRS2 is a cost-effective broken tool detection system. Its ToolWise™ electronics have been enhanced to make detection of small, dark tools more reliable, saving time and money.

The unique tool recognition electronics determine whether a tool is present by analysing the reflective light pattern from the rotating tool. Random light patterns created by coolant and swarf are ignored, eliminating the chance of failing to detect a broken tool due to coolant obscuring the beam.

Features and benefits

Cost effective and reliable
Ultra quick detection - tool spends about 1 second in the laser beam
Simple installation - only one small unit to install
Simple set-up using specifically written software for TRS2
Wide range of tools can be detected

Improvements over TRS1

Improved tool detection reliability
Reduced cycle time
Works at a greater range of spindle speeds

Alternative systems from Renishaw

NC4

Non-contact tool setting AND broken tool detection

OTS

Cableless contact tool setting/inspection

TS27R

Industry standard contact tool setter

NC4 is the latest generation of non-contact tool setter and our most compact design.

OTS uses optical signal transmission, allowing cable-free operation on the machine table. OTS can also be used as part of a twin probe (single receiver) system.
