What is an Automatic Tool Presetter?
An automatic tool presetter is a precision optical measurement station used offline (away from the CNC machine) to measure cutting tool geometry — length, diameter, runout, and edge condition — before the tool is loaded into the machine's spindle. Modern automatic presetters feature high-resolution CCD or CMOS cameras with autofocus, network connectivity, and RFID chip read/write capability for automatic data transfer to the CNC control system. For titanium machining with 40-120 tools per setup, an automatic presetter is essential for eliminating manual measurement errors and reducing setup time.
