Kelch’s Kenova V3 series tool presetter features a modular, flexible design which is tailored to Industry 4.0 standards and can blend seamlessly into a modern Smart Factory. According to the company, it offers precise and durable operation, an intuitive and easy-to-operate interface, and a fully integrable system with flexibility due to many options. Its compact size measures 1300 × 540 × 1300 mm. It also has convenient axis positioning by pneumatically released rough adjustment and has hand wheels for fine adjustment. The set line V3 is available in three versions — manual, manual with CNC spindle (Autofocus) and fully CNC. The company says that numerous options enable users to configure the unit to meet their precise requirements. The standard SK 50 basic spindle fitted can be adapted to any other taper sizes as required. Optional tool clamping ensures that the tools are clamped into the spindle with approximately 250 kg, thereby improving process reliability and repeatability.
