Pneumatic retraction units
RP70 – RP100
Our Movomatic retraction unit is a double-acting device that is connected to the machine’s pneumatic system and enables safe movement of the digital measuring head to and from the workpiece. Depending on the requirements, slides are available in different versions.
The slide can be mounted in a horizontal position. With our two product versions, it is possible to have a stroke of 70mm or 100mm.

Range of use:
The retraction unit is used to move the digital measuring heads into the measuring or loading position.
Mechanical features:
The retraction unit is a double-acting device connected to the machine’s pneumatic system. The retraction unit is mounted on the machine table together with a spacer block to adjust the centre height to the respective measurement task.
Our slides must be mounted on the horizontal side. The pneumatic connection is made at the back of our retraction unit.
