M&H R-400 Multi-Sensor Radio Probe System

The dual-purpose m&h R-400 probe system is the first tactile probe on the market that includes a built-in display. It provides status data at a glance, enables users to save or load settings, and makes it easy to switch between tactile-sensor and tool-setting functions. Designed for shop-floor flexibility, the system can be used as a radio probe by equipping it with a probe shank or as a radio tool setter by mounting it on a tool-setter base. In addition to offering flexible in-machine measurement functions, the probe can help cut costs by eliminating storage of replacement sensors, as only one device needs to be stored.n

Premium and Quality Maintenance Programs

Among machinists, Haimer shrinking, balancing and presetting machines are known to be extremely low-maintenance, robust, durable and reliable. But even the highest quality components wear out eventually. The best way to avoid downtime is to have a regular service check from an experienced Haimer application engineer. It's the same idea as giving your car that routine oil change to keep it in tip top shape. Knowing your equipment is in top operating condition gives you much more confidence than just assuming (or hoping) it is.
