Tool Presetters

Principles of Presetting The measuring of individual tools and assemblies is a necessity for the effective operation of a machine tool and its tooling. All CNC Machines, and to some degree, manual machines require offset values or references for the length & diameter of each tool. Historically, the normal practise has been to establish tool offsets and references on the machine tool using various methods - the component/fixture, some form of gauge or a probe/laser. Machine tools earn money by cutting metal and producing parts, not measuring tool holders and assemblies. Therefore, it is therefore essential, in a modern production facility, to consider a dedicated presetting machine.

E346+ & E346V+

E460A

■ The E346+ & E346V+ is bench-mounted with an electro-welded steel structure and solid granite base, featuring a stand that stores up to three spindle cartridges. ■ High thermal stability ensures accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility in machine shop conditions. ■ Interchangeable spindle cartridges allow accurate pre-setting of various tools. ■ Automatic measuring routine captures maximum tool dimensions with a 360-degree rotation. ■ A 15” vertical TFT touch screen with intuitive menus manages tool measurement and auxiliary functions like CNC machine origins and tool sets.

■ The E460A is the entry point to our new E46 line of tool presetters, featuring the latest OS and presetter application. ■ Our patented automatic spindle rotation system, with pneumatic engagement, ensures zero backlash and optimum speed control, allowing automatic measurement of maximum X and Z values with controlled 360° spindle rotation. ■ The software identifies out-of-tolerance values, enabling the operator to select the edge in question for the spindle to automatically return to that point. ■ Our innovative software, presented on a 15.6” HD screen, uses an intuitive touch, swipe, and gesture system for easy and quick selection and deployment of measuring routines and functions. ■ Measurement data can be printed, saved, stored, or exported using the inbuilt tool management system. The E460A is also TID (Tool Identification System) ready.
