Description Stand alone presetter E46BP
The objectivity of the measurement is essential when working in a shared environment, where the presetting operation is carried out by multiple people.
Objectivity is important, as is the precision of the measurement. For this reason, it is necessary to have an efficient and high-performance tool.
The E46B presetter series have been designed and built with superior quality components, dedicated to this specific application: presetting, measuring and inspecting a tool.
For over 30 years we have been using granite for the base and the column: in fact, it allows our presetters to have a high degree of dimensional stability, guaranteeing precision and repeatability of measurements.
E46BP was born from the need to have a tool presetter capable of semi-autonomously carrying out the positioning and measurement operations of the cutting edges, in order to further reduce the risk of errors and automate the presetting operation.
How does the new automatic axis positioning system work?
The operation is very simple and intuitive: once the tool has been identified, the theoretical diameter and height values and the tolerances have been entered, the presetter is able to position itself and automatically carry out the measurement operation of the maximum values of X and Z, with a 360° rotation of the spindle.
The measurement can be repeated as many times as desired by simply "recalling" the tool to be measured. The user will only have to wait for the machine to complete the operation.
E46BP can be equipped with the new Automatic Tool Recognition system. For more info, click here.
When the axes positioning makes the difference. E46BP will leave you speechless!

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...
