Zero setters and edge finders

Zero-setters and centring devices are indispensable tools in machine shops, essential for guaranteeing precision and efficiency in multiple machining operations. Mainly used on machine tools such as lathes, milling machines and CNC machining centres, these devices allow coordinates to be set to zero and workpieces to be centred with extreme accuracy, minimising errors and setup times.

Zero setters are tools used to set the machine zero, i.e. the reference point from which the machine tool will start machining. Centring tools, on the other hand, are used to position the workpiece correctly, ensuring that it is perfectly aligned with the tool.

The most common variants of zero setters and centring devices include:

- Optical zero-setters: These use lens systems to ensure a clear and precise view of the zero point.
- Mechanical zero-setters: Based on spring-loaded systems that indicate the contact point.
- Electronic zeroers: Use electronic sensors for fast and accurate zeroing.
- Touch probes: Equipped with touch probes that detect contact with the workpiece.
- Laser centring devices: Use a laser beam to align the workpiece with the tool.

Advantages of the zeroing and centring devices:

- Accuracy: Tool setters and centring devices allow high accuracy to be achieved, which is essential for machining operations that require tight tolerances.

- Efficiency: By reducing setup times, they improve the workshop's operational efficiency.

- Versatility: Available in different variants, they can be used on a wide range of machine tools.

- Reliability: Built with durable materials and advanced technology, they guarantee long life and consistent performance.

In machine shops, resetting and centring tools are used for machining on lathes and milling machines, CNC machining centres and grinding operations.

Zero-setters and centring devices are indispensable tools for modern machine shops. Their precision, efficiency and versatility make them essential for any machining operation that requires high quality standards. Investing in quality zero-setters and centring tools means improving productivity and reducing production costs, while guaranteeing flawless results.
