Using slip gauges and entering offset data manually takes time and is prone to operator error. Tool setting probes are easily installed on machining centres and CNC turning centres allowing automated operation with the following benefits:
• Significant time savings with
reduced machine downtime
• Accurate tool length and
diameter measurement
• Automatic tool offset
calculation and correction
• Elimination of manual setting
errors
• In-cycle tool breakage
detection
• Reduced scrap
