Lyndex-Nikken tool presetters and software are designed for thermal stability coupled with high precision.
Lyndex-Nikken offers a lineup of tool presetters and software from Elbo Controlli Nikken with models E346BA, E356+, E46B, E46BA, E46BP, E46C, E46CA, and E46CX. The presetters are designed with innovative and reliable construction for thermal stability coupled with high precision, the company reported.
"Today, manufacturers and machine shops face several challenges, including time-consuming manual tool set-up, machine downtime, lack of product quality, tool wear, material waste, shortage of skilled workers, and inefficiency," said a company spokesperson. "Integrating presetters into operations reduces downtime, enhances accuracy, ensures consistency, and improves overall machining efficiency for both mills and lathes."
Elbo Controlli Nikken tool presetters by Lyndex-Nikken incorporate custom optical scales and vision systems that are geared for measuring and inspecting cutting tools.
All Elbo Controlli Nikken presetters use precision ground granite for the base and column, providing thermal and dimensional stability, making them suited for the work shop environment. This provides repeatability and reproducibility, making these presetters suited for most tool measuring and inspection applications.
All presetter models feature interchangeable spindles (CAT, BT, HSK, polygonal taper, etc.) thereby eliminating the need for adapters that may introduce additional error. All units also come with 50 of the most common post processors for today's CNC controls.
Advanced models incorporate an advanced automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement for zero backlash and optimal indexing. This system includes spindle identification, negating operator error and helping ensure tools are always measured correctly for the right machine tool taper/size.
For user-friendly operation, the interface and software have been completely redesigned for more intuitive use-resembling a smartphone interface with simple gestures and touch controls. This new presetter operating system streamlines all functions and capabilities on one screen to simplify operations.
"Our new additions to the tool presetter product line support making presetter technology more accessible to machine shops looking to increase spindle time, simplify their operations, and boost efficiency," said Frank Fullone, General Manager and Presetter Product Manager at Lyndex-Nikken. "By expanding our line of easy-to-use, offline tool set-up solution, we are empowering our customers to overcome workforce challenges, reduce set-up time, reduce scrap, and enhance their overall productivity."
According to the company, key benefits of each new model of tool presetters include:
