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)

Bringing "out of sight" precision to complex 3D part measurement on machine tools, the new RMP600 touch probe combines two exclusive Renishaw technologies — highest accuracy strain-gage sensing and frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) radio transmission. The design allows unmatched precision where obstacles or part features block transmission by optical line-of-sight probes. (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)

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

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.
