EZset Names New Manufacturer’s Rep
EZset LLC (Ann Arbor, MI) named Hi-Speed Corporation (Thousand Oaks, CA) as their exclusive West Coast manufacturer’s representative for their high precision, German-built line of tool-presetting machines. Hi-Speed has representatives available to assist machining customers with any and all presetting needs throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, and Montana.
EZset tool presetting machines use an advanced vision system and image-processing software to measure cutting tools in order to meet highly accurate machining needs. The results for manufacturers are a notable rise in final part quality and process efficiency, including extended tool life. Four models are available with a variety of measurement ranges, and image-processing variations: ICbasic, IC1, IC2, and IC3.
“Our sales team has already completed their factory training and are working with customers to help them achieve cost savings and productivity goals by measuring tools offline and maximizing production time on their machine tools,” said Harold Wall, the general manager of Hi-Speed. “ Ian Haase, a product manager for EZset, added that the more tool changes a shop performs, the more productivity it can expect to attain by using these presetters. With models starting as low as $10,000, machine downtime is minimized and part output is maximized as tools for the machining center’s next job are preset, measured, and ready to be loaded prior to the completion of the current job.
These tool presetters are made in Germany and feature top quality components, such as Heidenhain glass scales, Bosch pneumatics, and THK guides. Highly skilled field service engineers are spread out across North America to provide the best possible service to users.
