What is a Tool Presetter?
A cutting tool rotates at very high speeds during machining. “Preset” means setting in advance. Presetting and measuring cutting tools before machining helps reduce defects, prevent collisions, and lower costs.
What does a Tool Presetter do?
1.Measures tool length and diameter outside the machine to prepare for machining.
2.Improves machine utilization and productivity through offline setup.
3.Checks and adjusts tool runout to maximize performance for stable, high-efficiency machining.
Comparison during tool measurement
・Contact method may cause chipping.
・Readings can vary by operator.
・Time-consuming; data managed manually.
・Camera-based (non-contact), no risk of chipping.
・Automatic edge detection minimizes operator variation.
・Measurement takes only seconds; data can be saved and transferred.
Features of OZT Series by OSG
The OZT series is a tool presetter that anyone can use easily and with high precision.
Its strength lies in combining simple, quick operation with accuracy.
Calibration is performed using the OZT adapter’s calibration edge, eliminating the need for a master bar.
Adapters for BT, HSK, and others are available.
This system frees you from frequent master bar calibration and its management.
Easy and frequent calibration ensures high precision.
