The space-saving Speroni STP Essentia tool presetting and measuring system from Big Kaiser (Hoffman Estates, IL) performs high-quality measurements offline, next to the machine tool, so operators achieve full machine productivity.
The system’s control optimizes all tool presetting and measuring operations with a runout function, MaxP, base post processor, entry-level tool database, and other features. A vertical graphic interface and online function further aid the operator.
The presetters measure the cutting edges of tools to ensure they match job specifications and are ready for use in the machine. Adjustments that take 15 minutes when made on a machine are done offline in less than 1 minute on a presetter, increasing productivity by allowing the machine to continue cutting.
