This paper proposes a non-contact and on-machine measurement method for evaluating tool edge geometry. In the proposed method, a focused laser beam having a diameter of several micrometres traces over the tool edge. By utilizing a light intensity of the laser beam passed around the tool rake face, the gap between the centre of the optical axis of the focused laser beam and the tool edge can be obtained. By combining the measured gap and the information on the XY positions of the focused laser beam, the tool edge contour can be evaluated. In the proposed method, stability of the laser power emitted from a light source would affect measurement accuracy of the tool edge contour. A modified optical design was therefore applied to the evaluation system so that a laser power drift and influences of common-mode noise could be compensated in real time. A modified evaluation system consisting of a laser diode, a beam splitter, a pair of lenses and two photodiodes was developed. Experiments were carried out to test the basic performances of the developed evaluation system with the modified optical design. Possible sources of measurement errors in the tool edge contour evaluation were also discussed. Furthermore, computer simulation was carried out to confirm measurement resolution of the developed system along the tool edge contour. scanning, output voltage signals V M and V R from PD M and PD R , respectively, were measured by using the oscilloscope, whose data acquisition was triggered by a digital signal from the function generator to assure the synchronization between the data acquisition of the measurement instrument and the laser beam scanning. By using the acquired output voltage signals, the parameter q in Eq. (2) was derived, and was converted into the deviation of the focused laser beam position δ with respect to the tool edge contour. By using δ , data of the tool edge contour was acquired. The center point of the rounded edge was defined by least-squares method considering polar coordinates conversion of the scanning paths and variation δ . The two results did not show good agreement when the scanning path was deviated from measurement target over the measurement range.
