Learn how presetters are increasing the life of CNC tools — making calibration easy and allowing tool setting in a fraction of the time
A presetter is a device that uses software to automatically and precisely perform the measurement or scanning of a tool’s geometry. It transfers all the parametric information needed to use the tooling directly into your CNC machine, fully preparing the data to line up challenging profiles.
Adding a presetter to enhance stone or glass operations in your shop offers all kinds of advantages. First, it preserves tool life. You can set up your tools less aggressively to ensure that each tool in the set works correctly without overloads. Precise removal results in constant force being applied to the electro spindle. Reduced vibrations in bearings and rails also mean less wear and tear on the machine. In addition, you can recalibrate your tools much more quickly and easily offline instead of having to calibrate them while they are on the machine.
