Introduction
This report provides a comprehensive guide for buyers of tool pre-setters, focusing on the performance and advantages of Nikken's Elbo Controlli models compared to competitors. The report is based on benchmark surveys conducted by Nikken in 2004.

Accuracy and Repeatability

Construction and Build: Nikken's Elbo Controlli units are constructed from granite, ensuring high accuracy and minimal thermal growth, unlike competitors using materials like cast iron and steel.
Spindle Interchangeability: The Elbo Controlli features a fully interchangeable spindle, maintaining accuracy across various tool shank types, whereas competitors rely on fixed spindles with adaptors, potentially reducing accuracy.

Fit for Purpose

Clamping of Tool: The Elbo Controlli uses vacuum clamping for precise tool positioning, unlike competitors that rely on gravity and spindle taper.
Components: Designed specifically for tool pre-setting, Elbo Controlli integrates specialized components, whereas competitors use more generic parts.
Software Compatibility: The Elbo Controlli's 'Toolive' system is compatible with 60 machine tool control systems, included as standard, while competitors charge extra for similar compatibility.

Value for Money
Nikken's Elbo Controlli includes all necessary software, installation, and training in the standard cost, unlike competitors that require additional purchases for optimal performance.

Technical Back-up and After-sales Support
Nikken offers robust UK-based support through its Euro Centre, ensuring quick servicing and minimal production impact, whereas competitors have limited UK representation.

Conclusion
Nikken's Elbo Controlli tool pre-setters are highlighted as the first choice for performance, accuracy, reliability, and value, supported by comprehensive after-sales service.
