Renishaw High Precision Removable Arm HPRA
Renishaw High Precision Removable Arm (HPRA)
The HPRA is a ‘plug-in’, cost effective, precision tool setting system for use on CNC lathes. When needed, the arm is manually introduced to the machine envelope and held in place through the use of the
machine resident HPRA base. The arm is locked in position through the duration of the tool setting cycle. After use, the arm is removed and stored on the HPRA storage stand.

Max 2 sigma value:
