NC4 basics
Introduction
This guide describes how to install, congure, maintain and service the Renishaw NC4 non-contact tool
setting system.
The NC4 is a laser-based non-contact tool setting system that provides high-speed/high-precision
measurement of cutting tools on a machining centre under normal operating conditions.
As a tool moves through the laser beam, the system detects when the beam is broken. Output signals sent
to the controller allow the presence of a tool and the position of the tip to be established. This can be used
to determine the dimensions of tools (tool measurement) or condition of tools (broken tool detection).
