Here is a recent testimonial we have received on our TLOsetter, v 2.1 after we developed a version compatible with the Tormach® Digital Probe which operates in the Passive Mode.
To: CNCneeds
I have been using Tormach's® digital probe successfully for quite a while. I recently supplemented it with CNCneed's TLOsetter, v 2.1. Once you have one, you will wonder how you got along without it
.
Since the TLOsetters come with software that automatically enters the TLO data directly into your tool-length table, there is no more possibility of misplaced decimal points or operator error. A few clicks is all it will take before you are back making chips.
Prior to the TLOsetter, I would have to run back to my office, get out my granite surface plate and z-height gauge, measure the tool, write down the number and the run back to the machine and enter the data. Now I just load the tool and use the TLOsetter. it has saved me hours in just the last few months.
I use the TLOsetter, v 2.1 for every new drilling, tapping, reaming and roughing operation I run. It has proven itself to have a repeatability often much tighter than +/- 0.001 so only on the most crucial operations, do I feel the need to double-check the results.
