Advanced Tool Presetter Models



Elbo Controlli offers its newly designed 66B and 68B tool presetters.

The new models feature an increased measuring range (from 600 mm up to 800 mm on the Z-axis), a 15" TFT touch screen along with optical auto focus and new electronic control. These models have larger capacity to handle bigger and heavier tools. They are designed to be completely freestanding on their own integral base and feature ground granite and stainless steel construction.

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, according to the company.

All axis movements on the 66B and 68B models are servo controlled with no operator contact with the column. According to the company, this increases machine accuracy and repeatability over similar machines that incorporate the movement via a manual handle mounted on the column.

Also included is the ToolingUp software package. Working via a DNC system, ToolingUp converts measured tool data into CNC code for direct loading into the machine controller and associated tool offset pages.

Elbo Controlli presetting products are distributed through Koma Precision, Inc.
