HORVER tool setters (tool presetters)

HORVER series horizontal tool setters are designed especially for setting non-rotary tools of lathes and boring lathes (when equipped with an appropriate adapter).

This series contains two types of tool setters. In both versions the same robust steel structure of the mechanical part and proven components of world manufacturers are used, ensuring the top accuracy of tool setting. Development, production, assembly and service of these instruments is carried out in Teplice, Czech Republic, an EU member state since 2004.

The instrument base is made from a solid, large, closed steel profile, on its upper, ground surface in the corners, linear straight-line guides for bearings of X coordinate and a ground base for connecting adapters are located. The X coordinate bearings are connected with the base for a travel in horizontal Z coordinate, perpendicular to X. This travel is executed with the same type of bearings. Moving parts of the compound slide rests, i.e. X and Z guides, are covered with 20mm wide, maintenance-free and unlimited service life strips, which together with the cover ensure a good protection of the most delicate components of the instrument against mechanical damage.

Travel in X and Z coordinates is measured with linear optoelectronic sensors.

Both these travels are motor-driven, by brushless, directly programmable servomotors for fast movements as well as fine positioning of both slide rests. This is done through bearings rolling on smooth, ground bars. This connection eliminates any risk of injury or damage to the instrument or tool.

Control panel, from which all functions of the instrument are controlled and in which the camera control unit is located, has a unique design. Fast movements and fine positioning is executed through the same knobs, which are located next to each other on the sliding panel. The panel may be moved to the most suitable position at any time. Automatic reference checking facilitates starting the tool setter.

Tool setters covers are made from shaped steel-sheet plates, powder coated. Such a finish is highly resistance to a heavy-duty workshop environment, in which the setting tools are used. The covers thus confirms the character of a common machinery product of the top quality.
