You’re using too much tool for the job if you use your expensive machining center for presetting tools.

The financial argument for using Parlec presetters is compelling. They work quickly to produce tool measurements that are exceptionally accurate and consistent. In fact, they can make those measurements better than your expensive machining center because that’s what they were designed to do. Whether you are adjusting boring tools, setting chamfers, examining tools for wear or defects, or checking tool geometry, Parlec Parsetter TMM’s do it better and faster than your machine tools. And while your Parsetter TMM is doing its job, your machine tools are free to do what they do best…make chips.

So productivity is increased and profitability is enhanced. We’re so sure of that, every Parlec presetter comes with the Parlec Payback Guarantee. If your Parsetter TMM system doesn’t pay for itself in just one year, we’ll buy it back! All across the world Parlec presetters are earning their keep in machining operations just like yours. Talk to a Parlec representative and fill out a payback worksheet and see how fast your presetter investment will pay for itself.

Excellence in manufacturing and technology

Unlike most presetter designs, the thermal mass of a Parlec Parsetter TMM^® ensures the most stable and repeatable measuring platform for years to come. Rugged construction combines with superior design to provide trouble-free operation. Designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and supported by rigorous testing and virtual simulations, our cast iron columns and bases are crafted to minimize thermal expansion and distortion – achieving 50 percent less deflection than other column designs. Using ‘SYMMETRY’ as a major design criterion, Parlec has eliminated twisting and distortion caused by temperature fluctuations and produced a mechanical structure that provides exceptionally predictable linear growth patterns. This solid design eliminates the need for frequent recalibration due to temperature and humidity changes during the work shift.

Thermal analysis of the Parlec column shows a perfect linear growth pattern with no twisting or distortion.
