Precise Shrinking and Setting - All in One Unit.
Shrink cutters in, shrink cutters out, measuring and presetting – the KENOVA Set Line V9-S offers all this and more. A tool presetter combined with an induction shrink fit device and cooling system.
2 Modes for Combined Shrinking/Presetting:
Dynamic Presetting
The tool is automatically set to the desired nominal length using driven length setting pins while the holder is expanded (during the heating phase). This process offers several advantages, including short cycle times and the ability to change cutters in a single cycle. The process is compatible with all standard ISO/DIN type shrink chucks, including those from other reputable manufacturers, ensuring flexibility and compatibility.
Static Presetting
If measurements are required that cannot be performed while the holder is expanded, or if maximum accuracy is required for the tool assembly length, then the tool length is determined using special presetting adaptors prior to heating. The tool can then be shrunk to its target length using intelligent calculations and pre-positioning of the length setting pin. This process is mainly designed for complex measuring tasks or for HSS tools.

Revolutionary Structural Design:
Ease of use coupled with maximum precision. This V9-S variant is modern, ergonomically designed and unique in terms of its build quality. With its mineral cast base, cast in one piece from the guideway to the floor, KELCH is setting new benchmarks in the design of tool presetting machines. This structure is incredibly stable and delivers our most accurate and consistent measuring results through reliable KELCH quality.
Features of mineral cast construction:
Environmentally-friendly manufacture thanks to cold casting process
Sustainable recycling of base material is possible
Vibration-damping qualities
Insensitive to temperature fluctuations thanks to thermal inertia
Precise measurement due to robust structure

Modular Precision Spindle (MPS):
The world’s best spindle for Premium Line tool presetters: KENOVA Set Line V9 and V9-S.
KELCH’s own modular precision spindle is the most stable and precise tool holder on the market. Decades of experience coupled with outstanding engineering knowledge and expertise lie behind this ultra-precise spindle. The modular system enables spindle inserts to be swapped within less than five seconds while maintaining excellent precision.
Maximum run-out of 1 μm on the flat surface and < 3 μm at a height of 300 mm and a tool weight of up to 150 kg speak for themselves.
Inserts for the modular precision spindle
The contact face and the short taper ensure maximum repeatability when changing the insert modules, available for all standard HSK, PSC, VDI, KM and SK tool holders.
Clamping for all tools is similar to the machine tool, with steep taper holders using retention knobs centrally from behind and HSK holders using original clamping units expanded from the inside.
Clamping forces:
SK / BT up to 5 kN
HSK up to 15 kN
PSC up to 25 kN
Operating Convenience - EASY Software:
Users can control their KENOVA Set Line V9-S on a clearly arranged operating screen using the industry proven EASY software: the tool, adapter, measuring function and values measured on the tool are all clearly presented on a single page. When it comes to analysis, the software guides the user in easily understandable steps to the required result. The software offers many additional functions as required. Connection to Industry 4.0 systems is also possible, via RFID chips, QR-code labels or through DNC network connectivity and direct interfacing. As a system supplier with over 80 years experience, KELCH also offers the option of customising the system to your specific workflow.
