| PQI/Renishaw
Toolsetting Probes |
| Manual
toolsetting takes time and leads to error. A PQI/Renishaw toolsetting
probe system on your machining center or CNC lathe makes toolsetting
automatic and error-free. And
with PQI's enhanced software you get even more:
- Fast
broken tool detection (3-4 seconds, not 15)
- Radius/diameter
setting from one side
- More
user-friendly interface
- Machine/control
specific–custom-designed for most combinations
|
| Contact
toolsetting probes automatically |
 |
- Measure
tool length and diameter both statically and dynamically
- Calculate
and correct tool offset
- Detect
broken tools without cycle interruption
- Measure
tool without knowing tool length in automatic mode
|
| Non-Contact
probes do everything contact probes do, and more–without damaging
delicate tooling |
 |
- Check
cutter profile and form
- Check
tool edges, detect missing inserts
- Measure
spindle and tool holder runout
- Broken
tool detection at rapid feed rates
|
|
|
| What
does all this mean to you? |
 |
- You
spend more time making parts, less time setting up
- You
reduce machine downtime
- You
eliminate manual toolsetting errors
- You
increase productivity and profit
