Elbo Controlli Model E346 Tool Presetter

July 01, 2014

Elbo Controlli is continuing its advancement into the tool management market with a new generation of tool presetters distributed by Koma Precision Inc. The newly designed E346 is tailored specifically to customers' requirements of a powerful tool measuring system. This unit has a radial travel capacity of an X-axis of 14.2"(360mm) and a Z-axis of 18.1" (460mm).

These tool presetters are designed with a base and column of natural granite that guarantees the least thermal expansion of all construction materials. Interchangeable rotating spindle-holders with manual mechanical braking of the spindle-holders rotation are available. E.g. CAT/ISO/BT, HSK, Capto, KM, VDI.

The vision system for tool measuring includes a TFT 9" color touch screen with 110mm x 200mm image size and 25X magnification. The unit comes with a standard cutting edge inspection feature to get a crystal clear image of the condition of the cutting edge before measuring the tool.

The presetter comes standard with the newly developed post processing software including 50 postprocessors that translate measured data into CNC code. This data can then be put on a USB stick and tooling data can be inserted into the machine's CNC.
