Product catalog summary
Overview of the PRIMO™ System
The PRIMO™ system is designed as a low-risk investment for fast payback, offering exceptional ease of use and outstanding performance to increase yield and shorten cycle times. It includes the Primo Total Protect (PTP) warranty, which covers accidental damage during use.
Automated Workpiece and Tool Setting
The system introduces automated workpiece and tool setting to reduce human error, non-productive time, and manual calculation errors. Automated measurement improves setting accuracy, reduces setting time by up to 90%, and eliminates manual errors, thereby increasing productivity and profits.
Investment and Cost Structure
The PRIMO system requires a lower initial investment with options for a six-month or unlimited use credit token. If no benefits are observed, users can discontinue use without further costs. The system promises fast payback and increased profits.
Components and Features
The system includes the Primo Radio 3D Tool Setter, GoProbe software and training kit, Primo Radio Part Setter, and Primo Interface. The GoProbe training kit facilitates easy learning of probing cycles, supported by an app and e-learning course.
Additional Features
The Primo LTS is a single-axis tool setter that operates independently of the credit system, offering tool length setting, wear detection, and thermal compensation. The system uses FHSS radio transmission for reliable communication.
