EZset LLC names exclusive West Coast manufacturers representative

Ann Arbor, Michigan-based EZset LLC named Hi-Speed Corp., Thousand Oaks, California, the exclusive West Coast manufacturers representative for its high-precision, German-built line of tool-presetting machines. Hi-Speed has representatives available to assist machining customers with any and all presetting needs throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, and Montana.

EZset tool presetting machines use an advanced vision system and image-processing software to measure cutting tools in order to meet highly accurate machining needs. The results for manufacturing organizations are a notable rise in final-part quality and process efficiency, including extended tool life. Four models are available with a variety of measurement ranges, and image-processing variations: ICbasic, IC1, IC2, and IC3.

“The Hi-Speed Corp. sales team has already completed their factory training and are working with customers to help them achieve cost savings and productivity goals by measuring tools offline and maximizing production time on their machine tools,” says Harold Wall, Hi-Speed Corp. General Manager. “The time savings customers experience by avoiding the need to measure tools on the machine is dramatic, and there is no better presetter to accomplish this than EZset.”

Ian Haase, Product Manager for EZset LLC, adds that the more tool changes a shop performs, the more productivity it can expect to attain with using EZset presetters. With models starting as low as $10,000, machine downtime is minimized and part output is maximized as tools for the machining center’s next job are preset, measured, and ready to be loaded prior to the completion of the current job. EZset tool presetters are made in Germany and feature top-quality componentry such as Heidenhain glass scales, Bosch pneumatics, and THK guides. EZset LLC has highly skilled field service engineers spread out across North America to provide the best possible service to its customers.
