The CFR-300 is now an End Of Life Product.
As Micro Tools become more widely used, there has been an increase in the need for reliable Tool Monitoring capable of detecting such fragile tools. Allora International researched this sector, and determined that a product was needed to address the sensitive nature of these delicate tools. While the SCU-100 and TCU-250 control units are capable of detecting small tools, our customer feedback showed that these control units were unable to detect the smallest of Micro Tools.
Allora International’s CFR-300 Contact Force Reduction control addresses the needs of our customers by enabling users to monitor Micro Tools well below 0.5mm in diameter with precision and repeatability. As the name implies, the function of the CFR-300 is to reduce the force of contact that the detection needle has with the tool. This is accomplished via the infinitely adjustable knob on the top face of the CFR-300. This intuitive design allows users to simply rotate the knob until the appropriate setting is made.
For both new and existing installations, the CFR-300 allows users to take advantage of the latest technology in Micro Tool detection while leveraging the existing PCS-100 and PCS-250 technology. Customers already using PCS-100 or PCS-250 sensors can simply add the CFR-300 to their existing set up by wiring the CFR-300 between the sensor head and the SCU-100 or TCU-250 control unit.
