Before machining

Automated measurement solution

 

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. 

It eliminates the need for expensive fixtures and manual setting with dial indicators. Machine tool probes are spindle-mounted on machining centres and turret-mounted on turning centres, giving the following benefits:
  • Reduce machine downtime
  • Automatic part alignment and rotary axis set-up
  • Manual setting errors eliminated

Machine tool probes keep your machining process under control

Probing basics: Benefits of automated tool setting

Using slip gauges and entering offset data manually takes time and is prone to operator error. Tool setting probes are easily installed on machining centres and CNC turning centres, allowing automated operation.
