The Tool Setter sensor is used to determine tool height and diameter. CNC milling machine generates coordinates when the tool touchs the Tool setter measurement pad and uses them to calculate the height and diameter of the tool. The device can be used with various CNC systems: LinuxCNC, Mach3, embedded systems on industrial machines, etc. The device is connected to the CNC system via a cable (see manual)
