High precision tool setting arms for lathes

High precision tool setting arms for turning centres. Use with the RP3 probe.

Time is money, and time spent setting tool dimensions then manually entering tool offset data is time that could be better invested in machining. Tool setting and broken tool detection are vital if a high level of confidence in product quality and unmanned machining is to be maintained.

The HP arms and RP3 probe require a TSI interface.

HPRA High precision removable arm	HPPA High precision pull-down arm	HPMA High precision motorised arm	RP3 Touch probe for arms
'Plug-in' arm which is manually located in the machine when tool setting is performed, and then removed once the process is completed.	HPPA uses an innovative rotary device which automatically locks the arm into a repeatable kinematic location, with no additional adjustment or locking device required.	An electrically powered arm. Rapid actuation allows in-process tool setting and broken tool detection without the need for operator intervention.	Designed primarily for tool setting applications but can also be used in workpiece setup.
