Nikken E68B Presetter Machine

The E68 series represents excellence in the field of tool presetting. In an increasingly competitive market, every detail counts. The E68B presetters are the ideal solution for those who want to optimise production times, improve machining accuracy and reduce waste. 

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.

The E68 presetter series are designed to offer maximum precision and repeatability in measuring operations, thanks to the use of natural granite as construction material. Furthermore, all E68 presetters are equipped with GS371 optical scales on both X and Z axes. This unique measuring system uses a natural granite ruler with an optical glass scale, representing a true revolution in the industry.

Why settle for an adapter when you can aim for excellence in interchangeability? In fact, the E68 series is equipped with interchangeable spindle holders, eliminating coupling errors and guaranteeing unprecedented precision.

The vision systems are manufactured using bi-telecentrics, specially designed by Elbo Controlli NIKKEN, to achieve the best performance in tool measurement. With decades of know-how in the complete design of all components, optical and electronic, of the vision system, we guarantee the best performance for tool measurement and inspection.

A distinctive feature of the new E68B presetter is the adoption of 15.6″, developed to ensure an intuitive user experience and superior visual quality.

The new machine software is the beating heart of our product innovation. Designed to offer maximum performance and an intuitive user experience, this software is the perfect combination of advanced technology and user-friendliness. The E68B presetter series are equipped with version B software, featuring modern blue graphics and a complete set of functionalities, including fixed reticule measurement, autocollimation and measurement freezing, tool inspection, post-processor creation and much more!
