New Probes Provide Fast and Accurate Machine Tool Setting

As part of its ongoing pledge to manufacture the highest quality machines and equipment, Skillcraft recently invested in two new probe packages for its vertical milling machines.

The Renishaw RMP600 machine tool probe is a highly accurate touch probe used for workpiece inspection and job set-up. This state-of-the-art probe reduces set-up errors, improves set-up times through automation, and allows for in-process verification of machined surfaces.

The Renishaw RTS60 tool probe provides a fast and accurate machine tool setting. This establishes height offsets and checks tool length within tolerance. It also determines tool diameter while spinning to establish tool size offsets.

Four of Skillcraft’s eight HURCO vertical milling machines are now outfitted with these probe packages.
