Nikken E46BAT1 Presetter Machine

The new E46BAT1 presetters allow you to optimize the machine tools setup, reducing downtime in your workshop.

Elbo Controlli NIKKEN has been dedicating time and resources to innovation for years, bringing state-of-the-art products to the market. The new “multi-camera” models have additional cameras that facilitate measurement and inspection of characteristic tool geometries.

In this context, the integration of an additional camera provides a considerable advantage by offering the possibility of performing a detailed inspection of the tool side, allowing distances and geometries to be calculated using software. 

Another aspect is the calculation of the offset, a fundamental parameter for compensating for any displacement relative to the reference point for machining.

Accurate inspection of lathe tools, which are often complex and difficult to check using traditional methods, represents a significant challenge.

The natural granite structure and certified optical scales with interferometric laser guarantee accuracy and repeatability over time. Using state-of-the-art technology, these solutions offer a unique combination of versatility, reliability and performance, ensuring accurate measurements and optimised tool management.

The AUTOFOCUS function allows tools to be measured automatically, without the operator intervening manually. This mode is recommended for those who need to perform measurements on multi-cutter tools that would be very complex if performed manually and, above all, that minimises the risk of human error. Why not choose the best?
