The CTS-5 is a multi-directional touch-trigger tool setter with hard-wired I/O connectivity, delivering reliable broken tool detection and rapid, high-repeatability measurement of tool length and diameter.

It is suitable for a wide range of machine tools, including vertical machining centers (VMCs), horizontal machining centers (HMCs), and gantry-type machines—requiring only standard CNC I/O signals for quick setup and operation.
