Nikken E46CX Presetter Machine

How to make the production of your mechanical workshop more effective nowadays?

In recent years all mechanical workshops have invested in new machine tools and have certainly increased their production capacity, but this does not always mean increasing productivity.

The presetting machine is certainly a tool that helps the organization of production to move in this direction, ensuring that the operator no longer has to “waste” machine time for tool measurement and thus allowing a strong increase in the productivity of the machine tools.

Elbo Controlli NIKKEN provides tools that can make the work of machine operators easier and drastically limit the possibility of errors.

As always, Elbo Controlli NIKKEN has developed its own way to automatically measure, inspect and analyze tools, following the company philosophy: making the operators’ work simple, reducing human errors to a minimum.

Prepare your measurement program with our new, simple and intelligent interface that allows you to set all measurement points, number of cutting edges, theoretical values and tolerances. You find everything you need in one screen: decide how you want to measure your tools and where you want to export the measurement results (post-processor, TID, RFID chip or simply save and print the report).

With E46CX it is possible to carry out the automatic positioning of the vision system, the measurement of cutting edges with autofocus, the adaptive identification of geometric entities. Data processing functions, a synoptic analysis of the results as well as the possibility of exporting/printing the data are also available. No complications. The software helps you at every stage.

The E46CX presetter allows you to improve production processes, the quality of workmanship and consequently of the product, reduces errors and costs and increases reliability.

Why choose the new E46CX presetter? Today we find ourselves competing with innovative companies and offering products and services more and more quickly. Automating is essential to manage, change and adapt the processes through which the company operates. Here comes a machine that helps your company move in this direction.
