HOFMANN Pointer - now as universal solution for all surface materials
No matter, if wired and integrated in the machine control or as an external solution: you can save a lot of valuable time with the new HOFMANN Pointer and measure your tools to zero very fast and exactly...and from now on this works on all surface materials!
The zero-setting device for shapers, the HOFMANN Pointer, has been decisively improved: so far it only worked on non-coated metallic surfaces, but now it works on all kind of surface materials reliably! As far as the zero-point has been reached, it puts an optical signal as well as an acoustical one. If integrated in the control of the machine, it sets the incremental amount of the choosen axis automatically to zero.
Consequently the pointer is now universally usable on all machines, where setting a zero-point is needed - no matter, if HOFMANN or external brand. Therefore it works perfectly as an upgrade for existing machines!
