Abstract
The disclosure relates to a tool part for a cutting tool having an identification marker arranged at the tool part, wherein the identification marker is a unique machine readable code associated with individual dimension information data. The individual dimension information data includes at least one individually measured dimension of the tool part as measured when manufacturing the tool part that will change while wearing the tool part. The disclosure further relates to a system, a method and computer program product for utilizing an identification marker on a tool part for a cutting tool, for determining a tool wear of the tool part.
Claims12
A system for utilizing an identification marker on a tool part for a cutting tool for determining a tool wear of the tool part, the system comprising:
- a camera for obtaining image data and reading a unique machine readable code;
- an electronic device configured to be connected with the camera, the electronic device having a processing circuitry configured to cause the system to:
- detect, by the camera, the identification marker at the tool part, wherein the identification marker is the unique machine readable code;
- read, by the camera, the unique machine readable code of the identification marker;
- obtain, from the unique machine readable code, individual dimension information data including at least one individually measured dimension associated with the tool part as measured when manufacturing the tool part;
- obtain, by the camera, image data of the tool part;
- obtain current dimension information data of the tool part including at least one current dimension associated with the tool part by performing image processing of the image data of the tool part;
- and
- determine tool wear data by comparing the current dimension information data with the individual dimension information data of the tool part.

- detecting, by a camera, the identification marker at a tool part, wherein the identification marker is a unique machine readable code;
- reading, by the camera, the unique machine readable code of the identification marker;
- obtaining, from the unique machine readable code, individual dimension information data including at least one individual dimension associated with the tool part as measured when manufacturing the tool part;
- obtaining, by the camera, image data of the tool part;
- obtaining current dimension information data of the tool part including at least one current dimension associated with the tool part by performing image processing of the image data of the tool part;
- and
- determining tool wear data by comparing the current dimension information data with the individual dimension information data of the tool part.
