Hathor Pre-Setters

Hathor Pre-setters

hathor_2Our new Hathor Tool Presetting machine has been developed as the mid level option for our new generation of advanced tool presetting machines.

Designed completely free-standing on its own integral base; Hathor features ground granite and stainless steel construction combined with a large digital camera and touch screen menu system – these new electronics provide operational and functional simplicity that is second to none.

The precision spindle system is fully interchangeable and utilises a one piece cartridge - eliminating the need for adaptors and the errors associated with their use. Incorporated within the spindle is our innovative universal mechanical clamping system with electronic tool clamping confirmation.

Also included with our Hathor model is our ToolingUp software package. Working via your DNC system ToolingUp converts measured tool data into CNC code for direct
loading into the machine controller and associated tool offset pages.

hathor_axes_movementManual axes movement. Axis unclamping by means of a single pneumatic control system. Approach speed controlled via software: 2 mm/sec.
hathor_micreometric_xzMicrometric registration of X and Z axes by means of two wheels which are essential for the collimation of the measure both with a fixed target function and in self-collimation.
hathor_spindleInterchangeable revolving spindle with mechanical rotation brake. Two preloaded ball cages allow a concentricity accuracy within 2µm.
hathor_graniteBase and column made of ground granite. The thermal inertia of this material allows the machine to be placed directly in the shop. Mechanical elements manufactured from stainless steel.
hathor_camerasystem Camera system for measuring and inspection procedures. C-MOS sensor, punctiform and toroidal red light double illuminator. Telecentric optic system with low F/Number.
hathor_lcd_panelLCD touch panel display and software on a LINUX platform for a quick and easy operation of the machine and measuring functions.

Technical Features
