Cutting Tools 16 MoldMaking Technology —— FEBRUARY 2018 This tool presetter system provides fully automatic tool presetting and measurement that functions independently of the operator (CNC- controlled, three-axis) with a convenient system cabinet and 22-inch touch display standard. 3. Capacity. Before making a purchase, shops should consider the size and weight of their largest tooling assembly. Here is where size matters, so shops want to be sure the machine can handle the maximum weight, height and diameter of the tools they need to measure. 4. Ease of use. Adoption rates in the shop are key. The machine with the greatest capability in the world will end up being one of the largest paperweights in the world if no one can figure out and remember how to use it. When looking at functionality, examine the usability of the software, how many options and screens one has to look at to measure basic dimensions, and the overall ergonomics of the machine. Higher-end tool presetters will have various functionalities to automate and streamline tool-setting operations, including automatic adapter identifica- tion and autofocusing, fully automated tool measuring where the attendant liter- ally just calls up the tool and presses "Go," and automated data communication via integrated post-processing technology or RFID carrier systems. These systems eliminate errors associated with manual data input to the machine control (some- times called "fat-fingering"), which reduces errors and decreases idle time. Perhaps the most common misconcep- tion about tool presetters is that they are for large production facilities. The truth is that smaller shops need them more. A mold shop is an ideal candidate because a greater variety of jobs and tooling moves through its machines on a weekly basis than in larger production facilities. The frequency of constantly changing setups makes tool presetters in these environ- ments highly cost-effective. Also, for shops concerned with tool- ing costs, presetters represent a means to stabilize tool values such as runout. This helps identify and compensate for vari- ances, which dramatically increases tool life. For mold shops using small-diameter tools in hardened steels, this capability can be of particular benefit.

This new unit generates vacuum and now includes the blow-off too! Pull out the gases and purge the vacuum line after every cycle. Vacuum is produced during the injection process, and the blow-off is initiated during the ejection. This compact unit helps to take gases off: up to 1L per second! The VB is based on the : Venturi principle Only requires connected to the device. Compressed Air It is not a Pump! Our compact device saves space over the traditional design. CONTACT US, AND WE WILL FIND THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOUR MOLD! No maintenance is required. Energy saving! The energy required to switch on a pump is 5 times higher per cycle! 145mm. Exhaust air Vacuum & Blow-off using the same channel! Air entrances (6 bar / 90 psi) Fixing screw
