Elbo Controlli NIKKEN Hathor Six A Tool Presetting Machine Our range of standard and advanced tool presetting machines are designed, developed and manufactured by our sister company Elbo Controlli NIKKEN. All Elbo Controlli NIKKEN tool presetters are designed and manufactured ‘in-house’ at our two sites in Meda near Milan, Italy. Every single construction material and component is carefully controlled and developed specifically with the function and requirement of measuring tools in mind (from the optics and electronics right through to the glass scales, spindles and structural assemblies).
MAIN FRAME & CONSTRUCTION
FUNCTIONALITY
Designed to be floor mounted with a machine structure in stainless steel to provide increased stiffness with higher stability and rigidity. Solid granite column and base to guarantee and maintain maximum accuracy. This construction ensures durability and offers high levels of thermal stability making the Hathor SIX A highly suitable for machine shop conditions with no issue of concern in respect of accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility.
The Hathor SIX A features a new and innovative fully automatic measuring capability allowing the machine and software to rotate the tool to measure and capture the radius/diameter and length values for multiple cutting edges without any operator interaction. The software is displayed and interacted with via a 15” TFT touch screen mounted horizontally for easy viewing and operation. The screen layout and design is split into two distinct sections. The left half of the display shows visible images of the current tool and profile whilst the right section allows access to all the current functions. Simple icon and graphically driven menus enable the operator to quickly and intuitively manage all tool measurement and inspection modes, in addition a range of auxiliary capabilities are available such as creating CNC Machine origins and tool sets.
SPINDLE SYSTEM A wide variety of tools can be pre-set utilizing interchangeable spindle cartridges rather than adaptors. This reduces the number of interface connections delivering accuracy across all spindle types. The machine allows for push button electromechanical tool clamping of ISO adaptors in conjunction with an innovative taper contact confirmation system to verify proper tool location. The cartridges supplied for the Hathor SIX A all feature our unique spindle identification system (SP-ID) which identifies which spindle is loaded and prohibits selection of the incorrect reference from the library.
