Tool condition monitoring for precise evaluation of milling efficacy

Milling of the surface is an essential step in the preparation of QC samples for OES or XRF analysis. Wear of cutting tips can significantly impair the functionality of the milling process due to insufficient material removal and damages of the machined surface. This may have negative impact on the reliability and accuracy of analytical results. Based on thorough evaluation of the break-off edge of the cutting tips we show that the HERZOG TCM system efficiently monitors the functional state of the milling process.
