    A tool setter is a sensor used to measure the length of tools on CNC machine tools. By automatically measuring the tool length with micron accuracy and feeding it back to the Numerical Control (NC), it compensates for tool wear and thermal displacement of the tool caused by heat. This allows CNC machine tools to demonstrate their original high processing accuracy. Tool setters also detect chipping or breaking of the cutting edge and automatically stop the machine to prevent the occurrence of defective products. The need for trial cuts by skilled operators during tool change and manual i......
