Models 66B/68B Tool Presetters

January 01, 2014

Elbo Controlli, distributed through Koma Precision Inc., is continuing its advancement into the tool management market with a new generation of tool presetters. The newly designed 66B and 68B are tailored specifically to customer's requirements of a powerful tool measuring system at a price point that no other solution can match.

The new models feature an increased measuring range (from 600mm up to 800mm on the Z Axis), a 15" TFT touchscreen along with optical autofocus and new electronic control. These models have larger capacity to handle bigger and heavier tools. Designed completely to be free-standing on its own integral base; they feature a ground granite and stainless steel construction.

The high precision spindle system is fully interchangeable and utilizes a one piece cartridge with full mechanical tool clamping (pneumatically drawing the tool pull stud into the taper cone), eliminating the need for adaptors and the errors associated with their use.

All axis movements on the 66B, 68B models are servo controlled with absolutely no operator contact with the column. This drastically increases machine accuracy and repeatability over similar machines which incorporate the movement via a manual handle mounted on the column.

Also included is the ToolingUp software package. Working via your DNC system ToolingUp converts measured tool data into CNC code for direct loading into the machine controller and associated tool offset pages.
