Increased machining productivity and tool life: when presetting tools, it is also possible to measure the run-out of a tool assembly.

This process maximizes your production throughput with the reduction of machine downtime, ensuring you manufacture products at a faster rate without compromising optimal product quality.

Less downtime: preset tools offline and let spindles run so your tooling process is uninterrupted.

This ability makes it possible for machine operators to set tools while the machines are still running, reducing idle time and increasing cost efficiency in the shop.

High-quality tool presetters give shops the capability to take fast, precise, and repeatable measurements for each tool offline. It is impossible to completely eliminate idle time, but shops can decrease it by using tool presetters. On average it takes five minutes to set one tool using these traditional methods. The traditional process for tool setup consists of manually intensive operations, usually working with a multitude of different tools and methods of varying accuracy to obtain the desired measurements.

Setup is the time it takes to get parts loaded and located, and tools set with offsets that make up for variables such as gauge length, diameter, and runout, into the machine control. Tool setup is frequently overlooked as a time-consumer. As a general rule of thumb, most shops with 5+ machines will see a reasonable Return on Investment (ROI) with a Haimer Microset Tool Presetter. Tool setup prior to any job being run represents a large amount of that time, which is why the time savings that a tool presetter offers represents monetary savings for any shop. In Canada and the US, the most expensive element of the manufacturing process is time.
