EdgeMetric Software

EdgeMetric is a professional optical measurement software tailored for cutting tool inspection, including turning tools, milling cutters, round-nose tools, ball-end tools, and taps. It combines high‑resolution live imaging with intelligent edge detection to deliver fast, repeatable, and non‑contact dimensional measurements, making it an ideal solution for tool manufacturing, resharpening shops, and quality control laboratories.

Tool‑specific measurement functions – Dedicated modules for blade length/outer diameter, angle (wedge, rake, helix), runout, round‑nose radius, ball‑head radius, tap parameters (pitch, tooth angle, etc.), and CAD/image comparison.

Multiple measurement modes – Supports automatic edge detection, manual point/line/circle fitting, and segmented measurements, offering flexibility for various tool geometries.

High‑precision calibration – Pixel correction, grating ruler compensation, lens center compensation, and data compensation eliminate optical and mechanical errors, ensuring measurement accuracy up to micron level.

Real‑time image & CAD comparison – Overlay live tool image with a stored reference image or DXF CAD model; adjust transparency for intuitive deviation detection (wear, chipping, breakage).

Comprehensive data management – Results displayed with OK/NG status based on user‑defined tolerances. Export measurement records to Excel with customizable templates and detailed reports (e.g., R‑angle scanning curves).

User‑friendly interface – Customizable colors, precision decimals, edge‑detection parameters, and language (Simplified Chinese/English). Advanced settings allow controller/camera configuration.

Element prefabrication & locking – Pre‑define circles, arcs, and angles on the image; lock critical elements to prevent accidental modification during repeated measurements.

Tool manufacturing and regrinding shops – verify geometry and sharpness of cutting tools.

Precision machining quality control – inspect tool wear, runout, and coating integrity.

R&D and tool design – compare prototypes with CAD models for iterative improvement.

Automatic or semi‑automatic inspection lines – integrate with CNC machines for in‑process tool measurement.
