Flexibility is built into the spindle system. The presetter is available with either fixed or interchangeable rotating spindle holders, making it adaptable to a wide variety of applications. It supports ISO and BT tapers in sizes 40 and 50, as well as HSK, CAPTO, and VDI formats. Adapters are also available, providing a solution for virtually any toolholding requirement.

The unit’s stability is unmatched, thanks to a construction that combines stainless steel mechanical elements with a natural granite base and column. Granite not only provides thermal stability but also virtually eliminates the need for re-alignment, ensuring reliable performance and long-term accuracy.

Measuring 20.16 inches in length, 15.98 inches in depth, and 32.56 inches in height, the presetter is compact enough for bench use while maintaining robust capabilities. It weighs 99 pounds, providing the mass and solidity required for precision operation.

Axis movement is generous, with 5.13 inches of travel on the radial X axis and 14.17 inches on the Z axis. Both axes feature a resolution of 0.00004 inches (1 micron), and operators can make rapid or fine manual adjustments with zero backlash. The spindle system accommodates fixed or interchangeable 40 and 50 taper rotating spindles and includes a manual mechanical brake. With a concentricity of 0.00016 inches (4 microns) and a maximum tool weight capacity of 66 pounds, it is built to handle demanding tasks with consistent accuracy.

Operation is centered on a bright 5.7-inch color LCD touchscreen display, offering a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels. The intuitive interface is powered by a RISC 32-bit processor and allows operators to store up to nine different machine specifications and nine tool sets with up to ninety-nine tools in each set. Connectivity is built in, with USB and RS-232 ports, and optional printer support is available for those who need hard copy outputs.

The measurement capabilities are extensive. The system supports full screen auto-targeting and provides operators with an X and Z axis focusing control bar. Automatic radius and angle computing cycles streamline the measuring process, while additional functions include radius and diameter measurement, metric and imperial readouts, and absolute or incremental measurement modes.

The advanced vision system is one of the presetter’s most valuable assets. It incorporates a proprietary high-resolution camera, paired with a telecentric lens and C-MOS sensor. This combination delivers 20x magnification with a resolution of 0.00004 inches (0.001 millimeters). The result is a lighting and imaging system that offers unmatched clarity, accuracy, and repeatability. The integrated LCD vision screen makes operation quick, simple, and intuitive, even for complex measurement tasks.

Every presetter in this series utilizes a natural granite base and column, guaranteeing long-term stability and eliminating the distortions caused by thermal expansion. This construction ensures reliable function and accuracy over the lifetime of the unit, giving shops confidence that their measurements remain precise year after year.

The Precision Bench Model Tool Presetter brings together the accuracy demanded by today’s machining industry with an operator-friendly design that reduces setup time and increases confidence in every tool measurement. It is compact, versatile, and built with the durability and stability required for continuous, high-precision use.
