In the precision, no-room-for-error world of aerospace, manufacturers need sophisticated tool presetting like airplanes need wings.

Our friends at BIG KAISER Switzerland recently shared a story out of their home country about a customer that’s revolutionized how they manage a robust inventory of 7,500 tooling components that’s applied in 14,500 different configurations.

The right presetter can improve a shop’s performance in ways that are impossible to ignore.

The old saying “it won’t make chips – not worth it” doesn’t apply anymore. Considering the accelerating pace of change in technology and the relentless competition your shop faces, how can you possibly afford not to use a presetter?

BIG KAISER tool presetter partner, Speroni S.p.A., has announced a new partnership with a leader in the digital shift toward operational efficiency, MachiningCloud.

We talk a lot about some of the products we offer that handle tooling while they aren’t on the spindle—and for good reason.

Purchasing an offline tool presetter for the first time can be daunting.

If pictures speak 1,000 words, videos must speak about 10,000. Check out the quick clip below showing our Speroni MAGIC CNC tool presetting system in action.
