Z-AXIS ZERO SETTER

1.Setting high: 50.00 + 0.005mm

2.Large measuring surface and easy to operate

4.High paralllelism,sensitivity,and precision for use

5.For setting tool on machining center, lathe center.

6.Low spring force to avoid brakage of small end m ill and dril

Step-by-step operation

1. Cleaning before useWipe the measuring stylus, tool tip and worktable to remove chips, coolant and dirt, avoid measurement error.

2. Fix the tool setterSecure the tool setter firmly on the clean machine table. Magnetic base type can be directly adsorbed on the steel worktable.

3. Calibration (first use / after long time shutdown)Install a master reference tool with known length into spindle. Slowly jog Z axis down to trigger the probe, complete zero calibration and store reference value in CNC system.

4. Tool measurementMount tool + tool holder into spindle. Move spindle above the setter, then lower Z axis slowly at low feed rate. When the cutter tip touches the stylus, the setter sends trigger signal and machine records the coordinate automatically.

5. Save tool offsetThe measured tool length / diameter data will be saved into CNC tool offset register.

6. Complete measurement for all toolsRepeat the above steps for each tool in tool magazine.

7. Finish & maintenanceRetract spindle, clean the probe surface. Protect the stylus from collision after operation.

   
   

   
   

Q1: What is this tool setter for? 

A1: Automatic tool length measurement, tool wear compensation and tool breakage detection for CNC machining centers.

Q2: What is its repeat accuracy? 

A2: ±0.001mm.

Q3: Can it work with small diameter tools? 

A3: Yes, compatible with drills, end mills, reamers and micro precision tools.

Q4: Is the probe fragile? 

A4: No. Hardened wear-resistant probe with anti-collision design.

Q5: Is it coolant & dust resistant? 

A5: Yes, good waterproof and dustproof for workshop environments.

Q6: Frequent calibration required? 

A6: No. Recalibrate only after collision or long idle time.

Q7: Complicated installation? 

A7: Simple mounting, no machine modification needed.

Q8: Does it detect broken tools? 

A8: Yes, prevents workpiece scrap and machine crash
