Independence All tools are preset, measured and checked (runout and tool tip inspection) on the alfa-set unit prior to use on the CNC machine tools. Optimization Machine tool availability is optimized_ machine tool downtime is reduced to a minimum. Time for measuring on the machine is completely eliminated. The machine tools are fully available to perform their intended function of production! Increased productivity Test components and reject costs are eliminated, as production within the required tolerances already starts with the first component. Cost savings are realistic by presetting tools in a machinery department that has 2-3 machines or more. In addition, tool wear can be reduced by up to 20% ideally by presetting tools to operate fully automatically with image processing and without influencing by the operator.
