Installation and User guide
The HPMA is a motorised swingdown tool setting arm, featuring the RP3 three axis probe. For tool measuring and broken tool detection on 2-axis and 3-axis CNC lathes and grinding machines.
The patented rotary kinematic design ensures highly repeatable stylus positioning each time the HPMA is swung down into its ‘ARM READY’ position. The design also provides a positive engagement into position at both the ‘ARM READY’ and ‘MACHINE READY’ positions. A bicolour LED indicates probe status and also informs the operator that the system is ready for use.
