Elbo-Controlli Nikken has launched a groundbreaking line-up of tool presetting machines and software, promising to transform the CNC industry. Building on four decades of expertise in precision mechanics and optics, the new range—comprising the E460A, E46B, E46BA, E46BP, E46C, E46CA, and E46CX models—aims to redefine accuracy and efficiency in tool assembly measurements.
Key innovations include redesigned interchangeable spindle holders featuring patented automatic rotation and electro-mechanical clamping of the tool holder. Additionally, these new presetters boast natural granite bases and columns, offering unparalleled thermal and dimensional stability.
Advanced models incorporate a patented automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement, ensuring zero backlash and optimal speed control. This system includes spindle identification, eliminating operator error and ensuring tools are measured correctly for the appropriate machine tool taper/size.
Elbo-Controlli Nikken has also completely redesigned their interface and software for enhanced user accessibility, mimicking a smartphone interface with simple gestures and touch controls. This new operating system and presetter application streamline all functions and capabilities onto one screen, simplifying operations.
The E46CX: A Leap in CNC Functionality
The E46CX model stands out with full CNC functionality, powered spindle, and autonomous axis positioning. Operators can create measurement routines using an intelligent interface to set measurement points, cutting edges, theoretical values, and tolerances. The E46CX offers:
Fully automatic positioning of the vision system
- Precise spindle control
- Autofocus on multiple cutting edges
- Adaptive identification of geometric entities
- Comprehensive data processing and analysis functions
Elbo-Controlli Nikken describes its latest presetter range as a “revolution” rather than just an upgrade. By integrating innovative technology with a user-friendly design, these new automatic machines are poised to significantly boost productivity in the CNC industry.
