Our advanced laser tool setters can enhance a wide range of machining applications to deliver precision, automated and fast in-process tool setting. It is designed to complement our other machining control devices, such as our high-accuracy probes.

Together, they deliver the most comprehensive process control possible for a huge range of machining centre setups. If you would like assistance with finding the best in-process control system, contact your local sales team.

NC4+ Blue fixed systems
Featuring the industry-first blue laser technology and enhanced optics, NC4+ Blue systems enable high-precision, high-speed non-contact tool setting and tool breakage detection.

The NC4+ Blue measures and detects tools as small as 0.03 mm and to a repeatability of ±0.5 µm 2σ, ensuring the production of ‘right first time’ parts. The improved measurement performance associated with blue lasers minimises tool-to-tool measurement errors across a wide range of cutting tools, even micro tools.

NC4 systems
With over a decade of proven customer experience, the original red laser NC4 system offers consistent measurement, with a repeatability of ±1.0 µm 2σ.

To ensure accurate results, the NC4’s built-in air blast efficiently removes machining debris and coolant from the tool before measurement.

NC4 separate systems
NC4 separate systems offer a flexible solution for complex installations. Systems can be set up in different orientations, at distances between 0.3 m and 5 m, and supplied with brackets and fittings to suit each machine installation. They use our reliable red laser technology and optical protection systems, ensuring accurate and robust performance for any application.
