Next Generation Tool Presetters

In Booth S-9153, Elbo Controlli, a worldwide leader in presetting solutions that are distributed through Koma Precision, Inc. (East Windsor, CT), is continuing its advancement into the tool management market with a new generation of tool presetters. Their newly designed E46L and E46L TW models are tailored specifically to the customer’s requirements of a powerful tool measuring system at a price point that no other solution can match. These new models feature an increased measuring range up to 600 mm on the Z-axis, a 22 in HD touchscreen display, along with optical autofocus and new electronic control. These models have been redesigned with a larger granite base for the best measurement accuracy and repeatability. The E46L is equipped with an advanced camera system to measure and inspect tools quickly and easily. The E46L TW model is equipped with two auxiliary cameras for inspection of the helix and face of the tool.

The high precision spindle system is fully interchangeable and utilizes a one piece cartridge with full mechanical tool clamping (pneumatically drawing the tool pull stud into the taper cone), eliminating the need for adaptors and the errors associated with their use. The E46L and E46L TW are also equipped with a proprietary spindle-holder identification system (SP-ID). This technology enables the presetter to automatically identify the spindle holder after each replacement, eliminating operator error. New for 2016 is an advanced tool management software package with CNC machine origin management and adapters. The intuitive user menu allows operators to quickly and easily measure and save tool data. The software allows operators to create unique CNC machine origins and send offset information directly to the machine tool control. The software also comes RFID ready to measure data to Balluff systems.
