EZset tool presetting machines use an advanced vision system and image-processing software to measure cutting tools 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.
Ian Haase, product manager for EZset LLC, said 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.
