Presetter software should enable fast and
simple inspection of complex shapes and
features. Look for software with an intuitive
operation for quick and precise measurement
results, accurate measurement of complex
cutters with a precise focus window, user
administration and access privileges, a 16:9-
formatted display, and automatic measurement
lines and contour evaluation.
Tool presetting represents a proven technology that can
yield benefits of increased productivity, longer tool life,
decreased scrap and greater process reliability for both small
and large shops. As the fourth revolution in manufacturing—
a digital revolution—continues to evolve, technologies such
as tool presetting that enable digitization of manufacturing
data will only increase in usage.
