Probes for Tactile Tool Measurement

Tool Setting Probes

Automatic measurements deliver extreme time savings. No errors due to manual tool setting using gauge block. No typing errors and corresponding subsequent damage. Automatic calculation and correction of the tool offset. Automatic tool breakage detection between the machining cycles.

Z-NANO Series

Best for: machining centres needing reliable tool breakage detection and length measurement at an economical price point. Economic solutions for tool breakage detection and tool length measurement in CNC machining centers. Measurements of unrivaled speed and precision under the most adverse manufacturing conditions using a modern measuring mechanism based on a linear working principle and optoelectronic switch signal generation.

  • Ball-bearing precision linear guidance
  • The functional principle prevents lateral forces acting on the tool
  • Very low measuring force
  • Measurement of sensitive and very small tools

Z-PICO

Best for: machines with very limited installation space where a compact footprint is the primary constraint. Economic solutions for tool breakage detection and tool length measurement in CNC machining centers. Tool measurement from D = 0.05 mm. Extremely fast measurement at up to 2 m/min.

ZX-SPEED Series

Best for: high-volume machining centres requiring fast, precise tool setting in both length and radius. Economic solutions for tool setting in length and radius as well as for tool breakage monitoring. Precise and reliable measurements thanks to cutting-edge measuring mechanism technology with optoelectronic switch signal generation.

TC53-20 | TC63-20

Best for: turning machines and turn-mill centres requiring custom-configured tool measurement. Special tool measurement systems for turning machines and turning/milling centres for adaptation to customer-specific tasks. Precise tool setting and monitoring using innovative, face-geared shark360 measuring mechanism.
