Tool Setters For CNC Machining Centres

---

Metrol Corporation India offers Tool Setters for CNC Machining Centres.
Functions of Metrol tool setter:

• Tool off-set measuring
• Tool breakage detection and in-process tool wear updating

Advantages:

• 1. Minimise manual interferences – the conventional method of measuring the tool offset and entering the value into the machine controller will always lead to unnecessary rejection of component/s due to error in reading or updating. With a tool setter on the machining centre, the same process is automatically updated nullifying any such errors
• 2. Reduction in setting time – usually the time taken for making first piece setting will be around 1~3 minutes, while it takes less than a minute with tool setter
• 3. Accuracy of the component – due to auto-tool measuring and updating the wear of the tools, the accuracy on work piece will be always maintained with-in tolerance
• 4. Reduction in rejection – due to timely tool breakage detection, the further damage to other tools or the component is avoided
• 5. Improvement in tool life – since accurate and real-time wear is updated, it improves the tool life
• 6. Value addition to the machine – considering all the above points, semi-skilled/un-skilled CNC operator could also operate the machine without much effort. Further incredible amount of money could be saved, which would have been ignored earlier.

TM26 – Tool Setter for VMCs: TM26 series with 3micron accuracy is one of the most popular and economical products used in more than 500,000 machines worldwide. They are used for length detection of tools such as drills, endmills, and cutters mounted on machining centres, drilling machines, milling machines, and boring machines. For larger machining centres, contact surfaces up to Ø80 are available.
