Product Description
Tool setting is a critical process that involves determining a cutting tool's geometric attributes such as length, radius, and diameter, using a specialized tool setting device. Some advanced tool setting technologies also offer capabilities to assess radial and linear profiles and the condition of cutting edges. Moreover, these systems can perform broken tool detection, either through integrated features or dedicated devices. Together, tool setting and broken tool detection pave the way for the seamless, unmanned operation of machine tools, enhancing operational efficiency.

Performance metrics are obtained using a 35 mm stylus at a standard test speed of 480 mm/min. The speed can be significantly increased depending on the application.
The measuring force is the force applied by the stylus to the workpiece when the probe is triggered, which is critical in some applications. The maximum applied force occurs after the trigger point (i.e., overtravel). The magnitude of the force depends on relevant variables, including the measurement speed and machine deceleration.
These are factory settings and cannot be adjusted manually.
