Optical tool presetting offers precision and productivity

A highly accurate new TRISet optical tool presetting and measuring device from Schunk can measure, check and adjust tools before before they are used. The TRISet is suitable for all conventional tool clamping systems and the Schunk Tribos clamping device can be integrated as an option to enable Tribos tools to be length set, clamped and measured in seconds. The Tribos polygonal clamping technology is especially suitable for tool presetting. No axial displacement arises as clamping occurs in the radial direction only.The TRISet tool presetting system increases productivity in metal-cutting operations by 15 per cent because the use of preset tools increases machine running times. It also prevents reject components as even the first workpiece is machined to the exact size required with no deviation caused by the tool. Moreover, the Schunk TRISet offers the option of adjusting tools with exceptional precision using measurement programs for certain measurement tasks and checking the quality of the cutting edge.
