Probing

Reduce Your Setup Time

No Machine Tool Should Be Without Probing

Reduce setup times without having to know G-code or macro programming. Monitor tool wear and tool breakage, and reduce scrap creation.

Get More Work Done

Setup reduction is critical to maximizing the productivity of any machine tool. With the probing solutions available from Haas, any machine can be set up in minutes, with just a few button pushes. Our industry-leading Wireless Intuitive Probing Systems for mills and lathes (WIPS and WIPS-L) set the standard for integrated probing systems. Easy on-screen directions guide beginning users through the process. Experienced users have access to the full power and capabilities of custom probe routines.
