Tool Presetters Designed for Thermal Stability

Lyndex-Nikken has introduced a lineup of new tool presetters and software from Elbo Controlli Nikken with models E346BA, E356+, E46B, E46BA, E46BP, E46C, E46CA and E46CX. The presetters are designed with thermal stability coupled with high precision.

"Today, manufacturers and machine shops face several challenges, including time-consuming manual tool set-up, machine downtime, lack of product quality, tool wear, material waste, shortage of skilled workers and inefficiency," said a company spokesperson. "Integrating presetters into operations reduces downtime, enhances accuracy, ensures consistency and improves overall machining efficiency for mills and lathes. Elbo Controlli Nikken tool presetters by Lyndex-Nikken incorporate custom optical scales and vision systems that are geared for measuring and inspecting cutting tools, boosting productivity."

All Elbo Controlli Nikken presetters use precision ground granite for the base and column, providing thermal and dimensional stability, making them suited for most tool measuring and inspection applications.

All presetter models feature interchangeable spindles (CAT, BT, HSK, polygonal taper, etc.), thereby eliminating the need for adapters. All units also come with 50 of the most common post processors for today, CNC controls.

Advanced models incorporate an automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement for zero backlash and optimal indexing. This system includes spindle identification, negating operator error and ensuring tools are measured correctly for the right machine tool taper/size.

For user-friendly operation, the interface and software has been completely redesigned for more intuitive use, resembling a smartphone interface with simple gestures and touch controls. This new presetter operating system streamlines all functions and capabilities on one screen to simplify operations.

Key benefits of each model of tool presetters include:

  • E236+: Functional yet simple technology in a bench top model
  • E3 Series (models E346+, E346V+ and E356+): A bench top model with innovative design, reliable construction and versatile functions
  • E346BA: Measures tools in automatic mode, no operator intervention needed
  • E46B Series: A fusion of quality construction and innovative technology, advanced models include automatic single position measurement
  • E46C Series: Measures complex tools with simplicity of use, advanced models include automatic, multistep measurement
  • E46LTWA: Equipped with three cameras, offers tool manufacturers the ability to measure all geometric characteristics of tools with greater precision
  • E68 Series: Uses natural granite for high precision and repeatability.
