Description Stand alone presetter E46CAT1
How to make the production of your mechanical workshop more effective nowadays? The new E46CAT1 presetters allow you to go in this direction, optimising machine tool set-up time and reducing downtime in your workshop.
What characterises us? The natural granite structure and certified optical scales with interferometric laser guarantee accuracy and repeatability over time. The integral and interchangeable spindle holders guarantee a concentricity error of less than 1µm.
The adoption of tool presetting systems equipped with a lateral camera represents a significant step forward: it's suitable for presetting lathe tools working under or above centre, in combination with a spindle holder equipped with a Y-direction slide.
Accurate inspection of lathe tools, which are often complex and difficult to check using traditional methods, represents a significant challenge.
With the new T1 model series, we offer an ideal solution for those requiring tool inspection in the turning industry.
The AUTOFOCUS function allows tools to be measured automatically, without the operator intervening manually. This mode is recommended for those who need to perform measurements on multi-cutter tools that would be very complex if performed manually and, above all, that minimises the risk of human error. Why not choose the best?
The E46CAT1 presetters are equipped with a 21.5’ screen: in fact, they are designed to withstand difficult environmental and use conditions, typical of the industrial sector, and for this same reason they stand out for a longer lifespan.
E46CAT1 can be equipped with the new Automatic Tool Recognition system. For further info, click here.

Natural granite
NATURAL GRANITE AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
Granite holds a very important quality when it comes to measurement. It's a natural material with the lowest thermal expansion coefficient in the world.
Natural granite is an igneous rock generated by solidification of a magmatic mass in the Earth's mant...

Thermal expansion is a phenomenon which occurs when a body (liquid, gaseous or solid) increases in volume as a result of an increase in temperature. This increase is caused by oscillation variation of the atoms around the equilibrium point.
In case of solid body, the thermal expansion concerns leng...
