Rock Solid Measurement
Built-in accuracy. Improved efficiency.
Discover how Elbo Controlli NIKKEN presetters increase uptime, reduce setup error, and unlock hidden capacity.
Where is your CNC capacity really going?
You’ve invested in high-performance machines.
But if setup is happening at the spindle, you’re losing productive machining time.
Every tool measured on-machine reduces uptime, even with probing:
Manual tool setup creates machine idle time
Frequent changeovers multiply downtime
Incorrect offsets cause scrap and rework
Cumulative error impacts repeatability
Unattended machining carries risk
The real bottleneck isn’t cycle time.
It’s setup.
Why Elbo Controlli NIKKEN?
Built-in Accuracy
Unlike other manufacturers who rely on third-party components and software corrections, Elbo Controlli NIKKEN designs, develops, tests and assembles everything in-house - the mechanical systems, electronics, optics, and software.
This integrated approach allows accuracy to be built in as a physical characteristic, not layered afterwards.
Unwavering Stability
No other presetter manufacturer can claim unwavering stability. Where others depend on steel, cast iron or aluminium - all prone to movement and vibration - Elbo Controlli NIKKEN presetters are built around a solid, natural granite base and column to ensure stability with linear accuracy better than 8 microns.
This, coupled with the patented X-axis micro-movement system, capable of sub-micron control with zero backlash, demonstrates a level of engineering focus that others cannot match.
Precision without compromise
From spindle design to camera systems, every detail is optimised to reduce cumulative error:
Interchangeable, one-piece spindle cartridges
Taper-referenced spindle gauges ensure measurements are aligned with the tool’s working reference
No counterweights, no vibration; our Archimedean Spiral Spring system supports camera movement without deflection
Fixed-position measuring removes optical tangency errors
Dual-axis focus monitoring (X and Z) ensures true tool geometry is captured
Built for EVERY CNC
Elbo Controlli NIKKEN presetters interface with all major CNC controls.
What that means for you:
Seamless offset transfer
Reduced manual input
Standardised tool data across the machine shop
No compatibility limitations
