•
The part setter can be used for work
co-ordinate setting and for workpiece
measurement.
•
A trigger signal is sent directly to the CNC
controller so that offsets can be updated – no
manual intervention is required.

Tool setter operation

The tool setter enables accurate machining by
measuring the length and diameter of tools using
the same highly accurate and repeatable switch
mechanism as the part setter.
•
The tool is set in the Z axis for tool length
measurement and broken tool detection.
•
Rotating tools are set in the X and Y axes for
tool radius measurement.
