Optimisation Solutions

ZF Zero Fit Holder When a machine tool has been in operation for 2~3 years, the run-out accuracy of the spindle can decline. The NIKKEN Zero Fit Holder allows correction of any such error back to the “as-new” run-out of 0.001~0.002mm. Without the Zero Fit Holder, typical run-out, particularly with extended length protrusions, can be in the region of 21 microns - when this is reduced to 3 microns, the tool life can be improved by approximately 5 times.

FEATURES

■ 2 variants - Slim Chuck (SZF) and Multi-Lock (CZF) ■ Easy to use cam adjustment and locking system ■ Available with Single Cam or new Multi Cam design ■ Simple optimisation of extended length applications ■ Jet & Centre Coolant options available ■ Clamping Range CZF: Ø2 ~ 42mm ■ Clamping Range SZF: Ø0.7 ~ 25.4mm ■ Shank: BT/MBT/NBT/HSK/IT/NIT/POLYGON

V-Ex Vacuum Extractor

V-EX Vacuum Extractor The cost-effective solution to efficient in-process waste extraction. Machining non-metallic materials gernerates a lot of waste by- product and dust. These potentially abrasive particles accelerate the wear of machine tool components, and create a health risk through dust inhalation.

Extracting these particales prolongs machine tool life and ensures compliance with health and safety regulatons.

Existing extraction solutions, however, can add up to 10% to the cost of a new machining centre, detering manufacturers from entering the market for machining materials like composites, plastics and foams, which produce a large amount of dust.

To address the problem, NIKKEN has devolped an innovative, low-cost vacuum extraction system that can be retrofitted to any machinining centre. With no need for a power supply and no moving parts, the V-EX is suitable for both wet and dry cutting conditions. With the ability to handle many different particle types and sizes, including conductive dusts, this makes V-EX is a perfect low-cost solution for any non-metallic machining operation.

FEATURES

■ A cost effective, retrofittable solution to dust and particle removal for new and existing machining centres. ■ Significantly reduces damage and wear caused by abrasive waste materials. ■ Suitable for both wet and dry cutting applications. ■ Addresses health risks posed by dust inhalation. ■ Promotes a smooth cutting operation by removing waste from the cutting zone. ■ Requires only an air supply, and can be coupled to many existing extraction systems.

Direct Drive

NIKKEN Direct Drive Rotary Tables are simple and accurate. Direct Drive tables feature no mechanical reduction mechanism such as the worm system within a standard rotary table. Direct Drive Rotary Tables have the motor effectively ‘built-in’ to the rotary table body directly driving the axes and faceplate. The tables provide extremely high rotation speeds with high acceleration and deceleration. The only limit is the driving torque of the motor! The application needs to be considered but NIKKEN Direct Drive Rotary Tables are suitable for numerous applications where complicated forms and shapes can be machined effectively and quickly.

■ Presented on a 15.6” HD screen our innovative and newly developed OS and presetter application (standard across all E46 lines) is based on an intuitive touch, swipe and gesture system to select and deploy easily and quickly all measuring routines and functions. ■ The fully interchangeable spindle cartridges provide push-button electro-mechanical tool clamping and up to six additional spindle cartridges can be stored using new optional support shelves built-in to the side of the machine structure. ■ E46B cartridges have a spindle identification system (SP-ID) to prevent incorrect reference selection. The E46BA features a patented automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement of the motion transmission providing zero backlash and optimum speed control. This system allows the software to automatically measure the maximum X and Z values of a tool with a controlled 360° spindle rotation. The E46BP takes this system a step further by also providing powered axis movements which, in conjunction with the automatic spindle rotation, allow fully autonomous positioning and measurement of a preregistered tool. The E46B presetter series is engineered for precision in tool presetting, measurement, and inspection. With a durable granite base and column ensuring stability for over 30 years, this series guarantees precise and repeatable measurements. Interchangeable spindle cartridges streamline the process, reducing the number of connection interfaces and ensuring accuracy across tool holder types. Innovative features include push-button electro-mechanical tool clamping, storage for additional spindle cartridges, and a spindle identification system for error prevention. Its intuitive operation simplifies tool measurement, with automatic positioning and multiple measurement capabilities.

E46C, E46CA & E46CX

■ E46CA and E46CX models feature a patented automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic motion transmission, enabling zero backlash and optimal speed control. This system allows software to measure tool dimensions with 360° spindle rotation, reducing operator intervention and minimizing errors. ■ The E46CX advances the powered spindle and autonomous axis positioning to full CNC capability. ■ The user-friendly interface allows operators to create measurement routines, set measurement points, cutting edges, theoretical values, and tolerances on one screen, facilitating quick optimization and data export. ■ E46CX offers fully automatic positioning of the vision system, precise control of the interchangeable spindle, autofocus for multiple cutting edges, and adaptive identification of geometric entities. ■ The system includes data processing functions and comprehensive analysis of all measurements and results. As with the B series presetters all spindle holders are interchangeable and are built to have an optimum level of repeatability. Without the use of adapters, the measurement becomes even more precise, as multiple coupling and the potential for build-up of error between different elements is negated. Furthermore, the E46C presetter series is equipped with the spindle holder identification system (SP-ID). The system allows the presetting machine to identify the spindle holder and suggests the correct machine origins, every time the spindle holder is exchanged. With a larger 21.5” HD touch screen for increased real estate the new E46C presetter series bring multiple advantages for significantly improving any production process. While the machine is carrying out a job, the operator, or the toolroom staff, can quickly and precisely pre-set the tools for the next job. The new AS371 optical scales allow for ultimate accuracy and precise performance. The development of this essential component is possible from over forty years of experience and know how in the field of measurement for the mechanical sector.

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.

Tool Presetters

TP32

TP32 is a complete 360 degree solution, developed to provide an all-round tool and stock control system for manufacturers and machine shops. TP32 meets the demands for businesses requiring a system capable of managing tool holders, cutting tools, spare parts, inserts, consumables and all associated data and information.TP32 is a program which is fundamentally dedicated to the management of the tool repository, which is woven in as a fundamental component of the productive cycle. As such, the data is inserted and managed within a system which allows all information to be accessible to all members across the manufacturing process and presented in the simplest and most straight forward and useable manner.

Through TP32, it is possible to have the stock repository under full control both as a management solution and also to the teams responsible for the composition and assembly of the individual components. In this way, everyone has all the necessary information that is required for effective production (component availability, assembly verification, etc.) including going as far as individual part and assembly administration (stock values, ordering replenishments from suppliers, etc.).

TiD

Tool ID allows you to manage and control tool identification and geometrical data seamlessly. TiD uses a handheld scanner at the presetter to scan and read a data matrix tag (similar to a QR code) located on the tool assembly. A similar scanner is located at the machine tool connected to either a Windows PC or touchscreen console on which the TiD software is also running. This process allows the tool data (measured or theoretical) to remain centralized within the TiD database and is transferred from the presetter directly into the tool table on the respective machine tool. The intuitive graphical interface within TiD allows configuration of the format and the mapping for the data required for the tool identification.
