UNISET-V basic plus – new setting fixture for fine boring tools with large diameters from 0 to 400 mm

MAPAL provides highly cost-effective and flexible manual setting technology

With the UNISET-V basic plus, MAPAL is filling the gap between simple mechanical and expensive CNC setting fixtures. The new tool setting fixture combines precision, robustness and practicality especially for large fine boring tools and is available in spring 2026.

At EMO 2025, MAPAL presented a manual setting fixture tailored to the specific needs of small and medium-sized enterprises in the form of the new UNISET-V basic plus. This fills a crucial gap between simple mechanical setting solutions and CNC systems while continuing to guarantee full precision and high stability.

The device from MAPAL’s UNISET range was designed as a response to demand from the automotive industry. In the electromobility industry in particular, large, heavy tools are often used to machine components like stator housings. These tools require extremely sensitive setting for high-precision fine machining.

However, in some cases users do not have the suitable setting technology and cannot achieve the potential precision on the tool side. Existing solutions such as the MASTERSET from MAPAL soon reach their limits when working with tools with large dimensions (from 200 mm). At the same time, CNC setting fixtures are not cost-efficient for many small and medium-sized enterprises. Consequently, in the UNISET-V basic plus, MAPAL has developed a new device that offers impressive cost-effectiveness and functionality.

Robust design for precise setting of tools with guide pad technology

Das UNISET-V basic plus ist für das Einstellen von Werkzeugen mit einem Durchmesser von 100 bis 400 Millimetern, einer maximalen Messlänge von 750 Millimetern und mit den Werkzeugaufnahmen HSK63, HSK100 und SK50 geeignet. Bei den Werkzeuggewichten sind bis zu 45 Kilogramm möglich. Reduzieradapter ermöglichen dazu die Aufnahme von HSK32 bis HSK80. Da das Gehäuse des UNISET-V basic plus auf einer stabilen Schweißkonstruktion basiert, ist eine hohe mechanische Stabilität gewährleistet. In Produktionsumgebungen ist dies ein entscheidender Vorteil.

Als stationäres Tischgerät mit einer Höhe von 1,30 Metern und einem Gewicht von 179 Kilogramm, muss das UNISET-V basic plus nicht zwingend in einem Einstellraum untergebracht sein. Es kann an jedem Ort mit stabilem Untergrund platziert werden, an dem es gebraucht wird. Etwa in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Maschine, an der das einzustellende Werkzeug eingesetzt wird.

The UNISET-V basic plus enables micrometre-precise setting of cutting edge overhang and back taper for reaming and fine boring tools. It is operated using a two-button principle, where the cutting edge is set via a guide pad. 

The UNISET-V basic plus is primarily targeted at small and medium-sized companies that have previously done without precise setting technology. However, the UNISET-V basic plus is also the right choice for larger companies seeking process reliability and high precision when setting tools with large diameters and high weights. 
 

Brief description

The UNISET-V basic plus is designed as a vertical bench-top device. It fills the gap between the entry-level product MASTERSET and expert solutions UNISET-H and UNISET-V expert. Key technical data: Diameter range: 100–400 mm, tool weight: up to 45 kg, measuring length: up to 750 mm. The device has a modular design so customers can choose between different options.
