Nikken E68CX Presetter Machine

The integration of a tool presetter such as the E68 series is a strategic investment for any machine shop that wishes to increase its competitiveness, guaranteeing high quality machining and efficient production times.

Built to withstand the harshest conditions, the E68 series is perfect for use in industrial environments characterised by constant vibration, which could compromise measurement accuracy. Its structural rigidity ensures high operational reliability, allowing you to work safely even in the most demanding situations.

Elbo Controlli NIKKEN has always developed state-of-the-art solutions for automatic tool measurement, inspection and analysis, following a fundamental principle: to make operators’ work as easy as possible, while minimising human error.

With our new intelligent interface, programming tool measurement becomes a smooth and intuitive experience. Set all measurement points, define the number of cutting edges, theoretical values and tolerances, all in one screen. You decide how to measure your tools and where to export the results: post-processor, TID, RFID chip or a simple printable report.

Automation is the key to optimising production processes, reducing manual tasks and increasing efficiency and precision. Although it finds application in many sectors, it is in industry and manufacturing that it reaches its full potential. With the E68CX presetter, your production process takes a quantum leap. In today’s market, competitiveness is linked to the ability to innovate and respond quickly to customer needs. Automating means evolving, optimising and staying one step ahead.
