Komet Group

More fine boring convenience thanks to Bluetooth

The KOMET GROUP has equipped its fine adjustment head MicroKom® BluFlex™ with modern wireless networking to make setting work easier for machine users. By using a wireless connection via Bluetooth* technology, the KOMET GROUP has managed to disconnect the display of the fine adjustment head MicroKom® from the tool head. This has made the tool less sensitive in application and improved its concentricity properties. There is a major benefit for the user, who can now attach the display by magnet anywhere on the machine – so that it is in his field of view and easy to read.
