Is it a Renishaw model? Do you currently have the probe in house already? Do you have documentation for the probe as well as for the machine itself? Let's start there. I think we (Machine Tool Diagnostics, Inc) can help you. </p> http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/topic/fanuc-15m-probe-on-kitamura-h400-retrofitting-probe#post-631 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:49:57 +0000 Anonymous 631@http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/ <p>We are going to be machining more and more castings and we cant afford to mess any of them up. Is there a firm that does this? I want to know what the associated costs would be and how technically challenging it is. We do a lot of our own repair so we might be capable of doing it in-house. Any thoughts?</p> <p>Its a fanuc 15M on a Kitamura H400. Its a little older, but it still makes quite good parts. The endmills last about four times longer than our linear way Mori as well. </p>
