Tool-setter

This tool setting instrument is designed for CNC machines to serve a crucial role in the manufacturing process. It transmits its output signal to your controller letting you accurately measure the Z offset of your spindle bits.

What's Included:
Either Metalworking or Woodworking tool setter with 6' cable with attached GX12 4-pin connector on the end.  2' of the cord has a metal wrap to further protect it while inside of the carving area.

Optional:
Available add-on is a cable inlet that lets you wire the tool setter directly into any controller easily and efficiently.
This cable inlet features a GX12 4-pin panel connector and foot long 22awg wires that are properly ferruled on the end for easy installation.

Hooking up the Tool-Setter Inlet to Masso

Elite Note:  This does not utilize the Onefinity Elite's Molex connectors on the Masso and requires plugging directly into the terminals.

Our Metalworking tool-setters (black) are a 4-wire high-precision instrument, which operates in a normally closed configuration and boasts a 5mm stroke. It achieves remarkable positioning accuracy with a tolerance of 0.001mm, and its robust design allows for an impressive contact life span of up to 3 million cycles. With a contact force of 1.5N and a contact rating of DC24V 20mA, this tool setting instrument excels in precision and durability.

Our Woodworking tool-setters (yellow/gold), are also a 4-wire high-precision instrument designed for exceptional performance. These tool-setters operate in a normally closed configuration, featuring a 5mm stroke. They offer a wonderful positioning accuracy with a tolerance of 0.01mm and are built for durability, providing an impressive contact life span of up to 3 million cycles. With a contact force of 1.5N and a contact rating of DC24V 20mA, these tool setting instruments excel in both precision and longevity.

Both variants' housing material is crafted from high-quality 4S grinding grade material, ensuring durability and performance. The contact material is composed of a super-hard alloy, featuring an elegant design and straightforward installation for added convenience.

The tool setting instrument is engineered with a dustproof and waterproof structure, ensuring robust performance even in the presence of coolants and iron filings. It operates without the need for a built-in amplifier and remains unaffected by variations in location temperature and power supply voltage, eliminating any potential for deviations. This allows for direct input into the CNC program with confidence in its accuracy and reliability.

These tool setters are equipped with a timely alarm system to signal over-travel, preventing potential issues arising from equipment operation. Furthermore, it demonstrates robust resistance to interference. By physically contacting the protruding sharp corner with the tool tip relevant to the machining size, it detects and outputs precise values, offering superior accuracy compared to conventional methods that rely on light and electrical measurements for value conversion.

Masso owners:  All of our accessories are designed and supported on Masso G3 and Masso Touch controllers.  If you have a different controller, we will certainly try to help but this product is not guaranteed to work for non-Masso owners.  If we learn more about what's required to make this product work with alternative controllers we will note it here.
