Overview

The KENOVA Set Line V6 range is available for various expansion stages: from manual to fully automated. Thanks to its excellent value for money design, small, mid-sized and young businesses can now afford premium quality for their tool presetting: patented systems for enhanced process reliability.

Innovative Design and Technology:

The KENOVA Set Line V6 range guarantees maximum possible process reliability through the use of patented systems, including MoDeTec, whereby the spindle inserts are automatically detected, always ensuring the right choice of zero point. The design enables even untrained personnel to quickly and precisely measure and pre-set tools. The V6 range has a very broad range of applications and, thanks to its modularity, is ideal for the majority of measuring and presetting tasks.

Variants and Compatibility:

The KENOVA Set Line V6 is available in the following variants: Manual, Manual with CNC spindle, or as a full CNC design. All variants are based on an FEM-analysed and optimised grey cast iron base and can be positioned in the smallest of spaces. The spindle used is compatible with earlier Kalimat, Sirius and KENOVA series, so that the system can also be cost-effectively combined with existing tool presetters.


Modular Precision Spindle (MPS):
 
The world’s best spindle for Premium Line tool presetters: KENOVA Set Line V6 and V9.
 
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 V6 on a clearly arranged operating screen using the industry proven KELCH 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 individual workflow.

DATA TRANSFER

Optional Integration Solutions - Fit for Industry 4.0! 
 
The industry-proven KELCH EASY measuring software ensures that you can always save tool-based data and transmit it to the right place. It does not matter whether the data comes from machine controls, tool management programs, CAD/CAM systems or other manufacturing systems. With EASY we have dozens of "off-the-shelf" interface solutions ready and available to connect with your external system. Due to the flexible design of the software, it is also possible to develop a customised integration or special process which is tailored to your specific requirements.
 
Interfaces are available using the following technologies and systems:

RFID Chip Systems
(Balluff, Euchner, Pepperl & Fuchs...)
Store tool ID, measured values and other machine-specific data on an RFID chip mounted to the tool holder

QR-Code, Data Matrix or Barcode Systems
Store tool ID, or complete set of measurement and machine-specific data on a 2D QR-code

DNC File Transfer
(Tool offsets to Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc...)
Package up your tool measurement data along with machine-specific data into a formatted text file or tool table and transfer directly to the machine via network, or through a separate DNC system

Third Party System Interfaces
(TDM System, Fastems, Mazak Smooth/CPC, Fastems, CosCom...)
Standard interfaces are available to a range of common tool management and manufacturing execution system which provide a secure 2-way process for transferring your data
Errors caused by incorrect input can be ruled out by sending the measured results directly to the machine control by post-processor via the network. This greatly enhances the process reliability and production efficiency. Along with the inclusion of tool identification this makes a significant contribution to process security when providing digital data exchange within your smart factory.
 
Using RFID or QR-code technologies greatly improves process reliability by having your tool and measurement data stored on the physical tool. Tools can easily be identified with the click of a button, and data can be transferred directly into the machine controller each time the tool is loaded into the magazine. RFID data chips have the additional benefit of being able to retain residual tool life once a tool is removed from the magazine, therefore improving tool utilisation.
