BK MIKRO

The risks of production
Rejects, loss of production, destruction of valuable work pieces and tools caused by tool breakage, clamping and ejection errors.
Expensive consequential damages can be avoided!

The safety solution
The BK MIKRO scanner (tool contact sensor) scans tools, objects or critical process zones with a wand according to machine cycles Any deviation immediately stops the machine.
Consequential damages will not occur!

Guarantee of quality
