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)

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)

The RMP60 inspection probe is the industry's first to use frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transmission to avoid plant floor interferences, enabling reliable, high-accuracy, fast-throughput part verification on machining centers of all sizes. (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)

Dual-purpose probe performs scanning and touch trigger probing for ultimate flexibility, while compact design optimizes feature access and probe configurability (read more)

The new Mahr MarTest 802 EW Measuring Probe from Mahr Federal provides machine operators with a fast, easy way to set up their milling and EDM machines. It is available in both digital and mechanical versions. (read more)

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)
