New Tool Presetters from Koma Precision Deliver on Power and Price
04.12.2013
Elbo Controlli, a worldwide leader in presetting solutions (distributed through Koma Precision, a member of Partners in THINC), is continuing its innovations in tool management with a new generation of tool presetters. The newly designed Hathor Six and Sethy Six are tailored specifically to meet customer requirements for a powerful tool measuring system at a price point no other solution can match. The new Hathor Six (floor model) and Sethy Six (bench model) tool presetters feature:
- An increased axis measuring range (600mm | 23.62”)
- Fixed target function in micrometric registration of X and Z axes
- A single, high definition 15” TTF touchscreen with improved viewing and functionality
- Optional manual control of the C axis
These new tool presetters feature Elbo Controlli’s ground granite column and base, and a spindle body assembled on spring roller cages and optical scales. The movement accuracy of both X and Z axes is guaranteed through the use of stable granite supporting surfaces. The thermal inertia of granite allows the machine to be placed directly in the shop. The precision spindle system is fully interchangeable and utilizes a one piece cartridge - eliminating the need for adaptors and errors associated with their use.
The presetters incorporate a double system of prismatic rails for X-axis movement with three double recirculating ball bearing sliding blocks and a monorail with one sliding block for the Z axis. Axis movements include manual rapid and manual micrometric adjustments.
The camera system includes a single C-MOS image sensor that manages both the inspection and measurement functions using a double lighting source. This system is combined with a Linux-based TFT Touch Screen, which provides full operator control and selection of options and functions via an intuitive menu system. These new electronics provide operational and functional simplicity that is second to none.
Also included with the Sethy Six and Hathor Six models is Elbo Controlli’s ToolingUp software package. Working via Okuma’s DNC system, ToolingUp converts measured tool data into Okuma CNC code for direct loading into the CNC machine controller and associated tool offset pages. All upgrades to the software package are available as a free download. The units utilize a Linux operating system for the integrated management of the functions of measurement/inspection tools, machine origins and toolsets.
