Fully automatic tool offset and Z datum setup system

Z tool offset sensor

The Z tool offset sensor is a fixed position on the machine frame where all tools are referenced to. Each tool in turn is touched by the reference sensor so the software knows the specific offset of each tool. This allows the software to always have the correct Z zero point for each tool during an actual toolpath. By touching each tool off this common datum the software knows automatically how to apply a tool’s Z zero reference in auto mode.

  • Integrated automatic tool setup sensor and software

  • One click and the software moves the machine to touch off the sensor with the active tool

  • Each tool value is then set to the tool library

  • Very fast resetting of tool offsets when a tool breaks or a new tool is needed
