The Laser Tool Setter is available in 3 different sizes and the Tool Setters LTS35.65-90, LTS35.65-160 and LTS35.65-300 are also available with central connections downwards. Laser Tool Setters with sideward connections are used on machines with no kinematic turning/swivelling mechanisms acting on the supply lines. They are fix mounted in the working area of the machine tool. The Laser Tool Setters with central downward connections are used on machines with turning/swivelling mechanisms where the supply lines are guided through a rotary union. They are flange-mounted on the turning/swivelling unit.
Non-contact tool measurement allowing automatic checks for tool wear or breakage. Constant production quality requires the use of reliable accurate tooling. One vital requirement is precise tool data. The data is automatically transferred to the tool table of the control. Periodic tool checks for broken tools or wear create additional production safety. The Laser Tool Setter from m&h will do this job, saving time and increasing reliability.
