High precision tool setting arms
For tool measuring and broken tool detection on 2-axis and 3-axis CNC lathes and grinding machines.
Reduce setting times by up to 90% and improve your process control
Your turning centres represent a large capital investment – fast metal removal and the ability to produce intricate parts are just some of the machine's many assets. But your machines are only profitable when they are cutting metal. Then why are they idle for hours?
Simple. Many companies are still setting tools and parts manually and inspecting parts off the machine – both result in an expensive piece of equipment lying idle, which means that every day you have unprofitable downtime. A Renishaw high precision tool setting arm will help you to reduce that downtime.
Reduce scrap, enhance productivity and increase profits - Renishaw tool setting probes can keep your machining process under control.

High-precision tool setting arms
Choose the perfect high-accuracy tool setter for your application
HPRA
High-precision removable arm
A ‘plug-in' arm which is manually placed into the machine tool and locked into a repeatable kinematic location. It is then removed once the tool setting process is completed.
HPPA
High-precision pull-down arm
A manually actuated arm, that uses an innovative rotary mechanism that automatically locks the arm into a repeatable kinematic location, with no additional adjustment or locking device required.
HPMA
High-precision motorised arm
An electrically powered arm. Rapid repeatable actuation allows in-process tool setting and broken tool detection without the need for operator intervention.
HPGA
High-precision generic arm
A highly repeatable 3-axis motorised solution for tool setting and workpiece inspection with improved robustness and adaptability on grinding machines and CNC lathes.

A tool setting kinematic probe for turning machines that can also be used for workpiece set-up. Suitable for OEM installation into purpose-built holders. It utilises a universal M4 stylus mounting, allowing the full range of Renishaw styli to be used. Connection from the probe terminals to the interface cable is made easy with the availability of an OEM kit. The short body length provides significant advantages in tool setting applications with all the benefits of traditional Renishaw touch-trigger probes.
