Explore our curated selection of measurement technology, sourced to provide the high-accuracy results needed for modern production environments. From simple manual gauges to advanced digital systems, we offer the CNC tool setter options that define industrial efficiency, all at competitive rates to maximize your shop’s ROI.

 

A Comprehensive Catalog for Rapid Machine Setup

Streamline your preparation workflow by relying on Penn Tool Co.’s versatile inventory of specialized setting hardware. We provide the technical solutions that allow you to measure tools without tying up your machine's valuable spindle time.

Our selection covers the full spectrum of shop requirements. For shops looking to measure tools while they are still in the machine, our CNC tool setter and tool height setter options provide rapid, on-machine verification. For high-volume operations, an offline tool presetter allows your team to prepare the next job's tooling in a dedicated station while the current job is still running. This tool presetting machine capability is the key to minimizing changeover times and eliminating the risk of "first-part" scrap.

From a dedicated automatic tool setter for lights-out manufacturing to a versatile CNC tool measurement system for complex geometries, we have the inventory to support your most demanding projects. We proudly partner with industry leaders such as Exact Engineering, SPI Swiss Precision Instruments, and Dorian Tool to ensure your shop operates with total mechanical certainty.

Precision starts at the spindle, but it’s proven in the inspection lab. Now that your tools are perfectly set, browse our full Precision Measuring Tools category for the bore gages, calipers, and micrometers needed to verify your finished parts

 

Redefining Efficiency: Trends in Tool Presetting and Setting

As the American manufacturing sector moves toward "Industry 4.0," the technology used to manage tool data is becoming faster, smarter, and more integrated.

• Wireless Data Transfer: A major trend is the use of a CNC tool presetter that communicates offsets directly to the machine controller, eliminating manual entry errors.
• Non-Contact Measurement: Modern CNC tool measurement system options now utilize laser or optical technology to measure delicate micro-tools without the risk of breakage.
• Offline Superiority: Shops are increasingly adopting an offline tool presetter to significantly reduce setup times, effectively moving tool preparation off the critical path of the spindle.
• Automatic Calibration: The demand for an automatic tool setter is rising in automated cells, where the system periodically checks for tool wear or breakage during a run.
• Integrated Vision Systems: New tool presetting machine models feature high-resolution cameras to inspect tool edges for chips or wear while measuring dimensions.
