Haas customers recently had four opportunities to learn how Renishaw probes and Haas CNC machine tools work together seamlessly to reduce setup times by up to 90% and enable shops to make better products in less time and with less material waste.

This year’s advanced probe training events took place in three locations: The Milwaukee Factory Outlet in Brookfield, Northern Michigan University in Marquette, MI and Northcentral Technical College in Wausau. This range of locations made it convenient for customers throughout the area to attend.
