Probing during process setting identifies the location of the workpiece, the size of tools and offsets on the machine which could otherwise cause non-conforming components.
Probing is an important step towards improving efficiency.
- Reduce machine downtime
- Automatic part alignment and rotary axis set-up
- Manual setting errors eliminated
Machine tool probes keep your machining process under control
