Details of Laser Tool Setter Series

DNC56 is suitable for small CNC machining equipment such as precision engraving machines, high-speed polishers, and glass machines. It enables high-precision, high-speed non-contact tool and tool damage detection as well as contour inspection fro various delicate diamter tools where contract force may lead to tool damager, such as glass processing grinding heads.

DNC86 is suitable for medium-sized CNC machine tools such as CNC maching centers, CNC lathe and horizontal machining centers. It enables high-precision, high-speed non-contact tool and tool damage detection, as well as contour inspection for various solid tools, shaping tools and medium to samll diameter disc cutters.

DNC168 is suitable for large CNC maching centers such as gantry CNC milling machines. It enables high-precison, high-speed non-contact tool setting and tool damage detection for disc nutters and various types of large-diameter profile tools.
