Presetters

Kelch GmbH is now launching the latest generation of KENOVA tool presetters in conjunction with modules produced by TDM Systems. The TDM Base Module minimizes the time needed for the selection of tool data by up to 50 percent. The TDM Tool Crib Module organises components and complete tools, thereby saving time and costs. KENOVA set line V6 tool presetters are available for different development stages: from a manual to a fully automated version.

SST introduces the SST 4200 tool presetter for boosting efficiency and profitability in high-precision part manufacturing. Built and designed to exacting specifications, the SST 4200 equips shops with improved precision through tool measurement accuracy of ±0.003mm (0.00012 inches), and user-friendly features that help eliminate human error.

Kelch offers a new system concept for a tool presetter from the KELCH KENOVA set line V9xx-S range. The focus here is on the redesign of the shrink fit equipment and side unit.

Successful machining requires powerful machines and highly-precise tool holding technology, which ensures that the precision is transferred from the spindle right to the cutting tool edge. Within the last couple of years, HAIMER says it has become the complete system provider for tool management.

Precise metal machining creates new challenges for engineers and machinists to achieve maximum precision and surface quality on workpieces. However, precision doesn’t just start at the machine tool, but is instead begins earlier in the manufacturing process—with the perfectly preset tool.

In the USA, time is the most expensive component of the manufacturing process. Tool set up prior to any job being run represents a significant amount of that time, which is why tool presetters represent a monetary savings for any shop, because they save time. Haimer’s new Microset tool presetting equipment streamlines tool setting processes, reducing set up times by as much as 70 percent, thereby minimizing idle time and increasing machine utilization.

Koma Precision’s Elbo Controlli tool presetter app in the Okuma App Store delivers outstanding machining precision that increases cutting accuracies and shop efficiencies. Okuma machine tool apps put the power of improving part quality, reducing costs and increasing profitability in end users' hands, according to the company.

The NEMI Tool Setter from Northern Engineering & Manufacturing Inc. enables off-line tool measurement, according to the website for the Zimmerman, Minn.-based company. The tool setter reportedly allows users to measure tools in seconds and be ready for the next job while the machine is still in production.
