The Renishaw LTS (Length Tool Setter) automatic tool setting system is a device used on CNC machining centers to measure tool length, automating the process of tool setup and inspection. It allows for tool length measurement, broken tool detection, and thermal growth compensation of the machine, thereby improving machining accuracy and production efficiency.
Key Features of the Renishaw LTS
- Automatic Tool Length Setting: Reduces tool setup time by up to 90% compared to manual methods, saving both time and cost.
- Broken Tool Detection: Detects broken or worn tools, allowing for timely corrective actions to minimize scrap and rework.
- Thermal Compensation: Monitors and compensates for temperature variations during machining, ensuring high accuracy and consistent part quality.
- Easy Installation and Operation: Compact design suitable for various types of CNC machines; can be mounted vertically or horizontally, offering excellent resistance to electrical noise and vibration.
- Resistant to Harsh Environments: Designed to resist chip and coolant ingress, preventing false triggers caused by vibration or accidental contact.
Integrating the Renishaw LTS into the production process helps increase productivity, minimize errors, and ensure consistent product quality.
