Sensotec manufactures a wide range of linear variable displacement transducers (LVDT). LVDT's are manufactured as standard, modified standard, and custom transducers to provide the quickest delivery possible. Many units can ship from their extensive stocking program within 24 hours. (read more)

The use of touch probes reduces setup times, helps to increase machine usage time, and improves the dimensional accuracy of the finished workpieces. Their setup, measuring and monitoring functions can be performed manually or automatically. Touch probes are used primarily on milling machines and machining centers, and ... -HEIDENHAIN Corporation (read more)

Now more can enjoy the benefits of HEIDENHAIN's 3D touch trigger probes as they can now be used on many CNC controls for milling, drilling and boring machines, and machining centers. This is possible through the use of HEIDENHAIN's new UTI 192 Universal Touch Probe Interface making these probes compatible with CNC controls with a fast switching input. (read more)

Cable-free OTS Twin-Probe System from Renishaw performs automated part set-up, measurement, tool setting and broken tool detection. The machine tool system combines a spindle-mounted OMP40-2 inspection probe and OTS tool-setting probe with an optical receiver, enabling fast system integration and cable-free installation on machining centers, especially with twin pallets and rotary tables (read more)

For users looking for an alternative to battery-operated touch probes for machining applications, HEIDENHAIN Corporation offers the TS 444 infrared touch probe. The new TS 444 can be powered by an alternative energy source in the form of compressed air supplied through the spindle of the machine tool, and can be of use with all HEIDENHAIN control systems.

The GAPMAN is equipped with a patented GPD series quick-change probe (as shown above). GPD probes are like the HPD sensors, but with both interface connection on the same side to conveniently connect to our patented contacts. (read more)

Similar to the HPC Series the threaded probes allow mounting into a drill and tapped hole or bracket where more limited access is available. The probe is held in place with a mating nut (optional) and may be rotated for fine axial positioning. (read more)

For broken tool detection and rapid tool length/diameter measurement use the new OTS, Renishaw's first tool setting probe with optical transmission. The robust, compact and cable-free design allows freedom of table movement, ideal for twin pallet or rotary table machines. (read more)

A tremendous advantage in measuring displacement and part dimensional changes can be gained by use of thin "side-looking" Capacitec® button probes. Their forte is in thin gap inspection and tolerances measured inboard and hidden in difficult to investigate products. They are often used in pairs to compensate for part misalignment and gage positioning. (read more)

With the introduction of the TS 740 infrared touch probe, HEIDENHAIN offers machine tool users the opportunity to perform measuring tasks that require an especially high probing accuracy and repeatability. Providing both of these things, the TS 740 workpiece touch probe has become one of the most accurate 3D touch probes for machine tools in the market today. (read more)
