Sales, service and support are available for a complete range of tool presetters from Italian manufacturer Elbo Controlli. The line consists of six models: Larth, Sethy, Hathor, Kyan, Ankh and Amon Ra. All models incorporate a solid granite column and base, and tool inspection is a standard feature. Most offer mechanical clamping of the toolholder pull stud with an original vacuum confirmation system. According to the company, this setup ensures correct taper location, which prevents tool runout errors that result from incorrect loading of the holder. All models use a Linux-based operating system, which is said to offer improved stability compared to similar presetters that use Windows, and most offer SD card data backup.
At its New Product Rollout, Ingersoll showcased a number of options for high-feed machining, demonstrating the strategy’s growing footprint in the industry.
